Beta Club Provides Leadership And Service The Senior Beta Club, sponsored by Mrs. Angie Edwards, is composed of junior and senior students who have maintained a 3.0 grade point average or above. The club's major fundraiser was the green and red wear anything day which took place on December 11. This free dress day was sponsored by the club in order to raise money for the terminally ill children at St. Jude's Hospital. A total of $600 was made that day. The free dress day was a change from the December fundraiser of past years. Mrs. Edwards explained that after many years of the Toys for Tots drive, the club thought it was time for a change. Also, at the time, raising money for the kids had been a state-wide effort. The annual Valentine's Day carnation sale, another fundraiser for the club, was held in February. A record number of Valentine messages and carnations was sold, bringing many smiles to students and faculty alike. Fourteen members of the club attended the National Beta Club Convention March 11-13 in Lake Charles. Julie Sternberg took first place in the T.H. Harris Scholarship competition and received the $1000 scholarship prize. Beth Weitz made the semi finals in the oratory competition; Amy Hackney took third place in the spelling competition; Clint Howie took fifth place in the current events competition; and the Quiz Bowl team made the semi finals. Terry Shubkin, Chimene St. Amant and Ben Hwa-hu also made the top ten in each of their competitions. With spring came the annual Teacher Appreciation Day, April 3. New inductees participated in this club sponsored activity by decorating the teacher's lounges and bringing all sorts of goodies for the faculty's enjoyment. Teachers also received appleshaped name plaques for their desks as a personal gift from the club. Although one of the requirements for membership in Beta Club is a 3.0 GPA, the members aren't immune to having lots of fun as well. In looking back over their stay in Lake Charles, Episcopal's participants at convention had a few choice words: Beta babes and beta studs ... Hey Joe, what happened? ... cruisin' in the Beta Bus ... dinner at Paw Paw's SMILE John ... the Beta Best Western ... clockwise! no counter clockwise! ... Lean on Me ...WE LEAD BY SERVING OTHERS ... Thanks Greg and Angie! Scnim Bct.t Club Officer -Erin Earhart. treasurer; Michael Carpenter, vice president; Michael Ory. president. Stephanie Harrop. Senior Beta Club 1 secretary.
