Psychology Club takes over the school grounds of Sam Houston State University. It Is All in Your Head We had a special relationship in the Psychology Club. We truly cared about each other. Club members were an extended famiIy, explained Ms. Peggy Coleman, sponsor. The club started the year with an eye-catching initiation day. Faces painted half black and half white, topped off with black cone-shaped hats, could be seen all around the school. Ms. Coleman taught that hav- ing the right attitude is half the battle and it showed on initiation day. When my 'kids' went through initia- tion, I knew they really wanted to be a member, she said. Members were active all year long. They held a banquet at Christmas, sponsored a talent show, played soft- ball against various clubs and com- peted in Sadie Hawkins events. They donated half the money to build the trophy case in the cafeteria. They did this so that as club members left, and with them their memories, there would also be a place for memories at school. Daniel Huerta and Roslna Nunez enjoy a quiet sit at the banquet. dps by

GAMA Lends Helping Hand gamas 246 l The Guidance Association of MacArthur Seniors CGAMASJ com- pleted their second successful year helping underclassmen learn to cope with the problems they faced. Training sessions during the first week of school introduced members to what was expected of them. Learning about counseling is easy until you do it, said vice president Gina Espitia. Initiation was the third week of school and lasted one crazy day. Members walked around in a T-shirt especially designed and decorated for them by a fellow club friend. The next week a candlelight in- stallation ceremony was held at school. Explaining how she felt, Lupina Layton said, After initlationl was finally a member and happy to go on through with the ceremony to be installed. I could hardly believe that I was finally ready to counsel and tutor. Mrs. Jeanine Hawthorn, the club's sponsor, known affectionately as Mama H., was always there giving support. A reflectlve moment at the end of the in- stallation ceremony is observed by Lillian Smith and Miriam Ortiz. dps by
