A Little Bit of Love Have you ever been sad and lonely and felt that nobody cared? You were just lying there when you felt the wet nose of your puppy up against your face, or the feel of your cat rubbing against your legs. It seemed to say I understand, tell me what ' s wrong. He would sit there and listen, never get up and leave, or would never talk back. That is the nice part of having a pet. Of course, there are the times when that cute little puppy has your favorite shoe in his mouth: or there is cat fur on your velvet jacket, or even the times when you were ready to go to school, only to walk out the door to get knocked in the mud by your overgrown puppy. True, there is a lot of aggravation, but all of it is really worth a little bit of love. •» I ' m just a puppy, says Brandy ' : Beverly Tyree sits beside her Saint Bernard ! 1 Si wC RIGHT: Becky Griffith pets her shaved Afghan and holds her poodle that can ' t touch the ground. 18 PETS

Not Enough Participation What are you going to do tonight? Oh, i think I ' m going to see CARRiE. Really? That ' s a good movie. Who are you going with? I ' m going with — This meeting is called to order. It did not matter which club. They all started the same way, with the usual undertone of chatter while business was carried on. Each club had only a few active mem- bers, said Tracey Leet. These people cared about what happened within the club and wanted to give the club a good name. The rest of the club was made up of people who wanted to get out of school or away from home. These people didn ' t really care about the af- fairs of the club. A few precedents were set this year, especially by the Student Council. One of the new projects started by the SCA was Spirit Week, organized by SCA presi- dent Carmine Plott, which was planned to arouse the student ' s spirit. The week consisted of various contests against each class. The highlight of the week was the Homecoming Dance on Sat- urday night. Another new project was The Gong Show , based on a popular television show. Students competed in talent acts, whether serious or hilarious. ' The Gong Show ' was really some- thing different than the usual variety show, said Linda Trumbo. The whole student body, and even the faculty, seem- ed to enjoy it. Some kids even stayed after school to listen to the band. It was great. Another change in the SCA ' s procedure was the time that meetings were held. In previous years nearly all meetings were held during school, taking members of the SCA out of class. But, in trying to cooperate with the teachers, the SCA held only one meeting a month during TOP: BB Bryant serenades Molly Withrow during the informal Spanish Initiation.
