The club participants all get together annually to dine and give out awards to the outstanding members. We're talking fun on a big scale here. This is the kind of stuff that's comparable to a barrel of monkeys. Where else can you find a large group of people gathered for the sole purpose of filling their stomachs with food and good cheer, and possibly an award for dessert. Where do you think these ban- quets take place? Wendy's or lVlcDonald's? Think again my friends, l'm talking about restaurants like Red Lobster, 122. . .Clubs Carlos Kelley, and Maggie's, get my drift. There's more to these grub sessions than just stuffing and politics. Banquets unite club members and make for a healthier, happier club. The club banquets are a touching almost heart- warming end of the school year. lt's a celebration that ends with not a dry eye in the restaurant. Well, maybe one. Maybe even quite a few, but l'm sure there is a sentimental slob in just about every club. There's nothing wrong with a little sentimental slobber bet- ween friends. Delivering an award to Gilbert La- fuente is Donald Hays. The football players gave him an award for being a coach for so many years.
