New, old club offer many choices T 1 1 1 1 Students crowded around the desk of a stressed teacher, begging for club cards. As they collected their cards they began to ask each other questions about the clubs. Whatever your interest, there was always a club for you, as many students found out and began exploring new clubs. Adding to the list of new clubs were Multi-Cultural Club, which allowed many of its members to get to know more about the ethnic groups of their fellow students, and High Five, which enabled students to raise their grade point average at least .5 percent higher than it was before. Two clubs in their second year of ex- istence had drastically increased member- ship. Modeling Club planned to put on at least one fashion show, in the spring with Dillards, and Film Society had to find ways to limit enrollment. While many investigated the newer clubs, others stuck to more familiar ones such as Spirit Club, in which students spent the period learning chants and listening to coaches speak about the upcoming games. Spirit Cabinet and Hangar Board got off to a busy start when they sponsored such dances as the Toga dance at the beginning of the year when everyone showed off their talent for turning sheets into fashionable RIGHT: Home Economics Related Occupations members discuss plans for their Thanksgiving bake sale and Christmas botique, Calico Corner.

Orgamkatiom designs, and the Neewollah dance when students showed up in their Halloween costumes. Cheerleaders and the pom pon squad had their share of fun in helping cheer on the athletes. And pep band members got everyone into the spirit of the game with popular tunes. Academically-oriented clubs had their piece of the pie with contests and several other competitive events. Among these clubs were French Club, Industrial Arts Club and German Club, who threw a Christmas party and ate German food. French Club enrollees enjoyed the delicious pastries of France as they prepared them. And Industrial Arts Club held several fund raisers to help pay for spring trips. The person who had a knack for acting and was overwhelmed with curiousity for the theatre enrolled in Drama Club and was able to attend such things as a series of seminars followed by a banquet and perfor- mance at the Crown Uptown Dinner Theatre and a trip to Munsie, Idaho for the International Thespians Conference. It seemed that the many organizations helped students live their lives to the fullest.

Academics make it our time to live Academics. Despite how it may have seemed, that was what we all went to school for. However, not everyone realized how important academics were. In many ways, high school would be the end of education as we had always known it. It would be the end of a personalized and somewhat restricted atmosphere. When we graduate, we trade that atmosphere for a less personalized and less restricted at- mosphere where our only motivation may be ourselves. Because of that, it was important during high school to obtain the kind of background and motivation we would need. High school was a time to live. Not only for our activities and our friends, but also for our education because education also was an important part of life. Through our experiences with foreign ex- change students, we came to realize that Americans should consider themselves lucky. In many foreign countries, their high schools were similar to our colleges. In many foreign schools, they had no elective courses and little fun time. High school was a fun and exciting time for most everyone. It was a time of gossip, dances and other school things. It was our time to live.
