Para Ami as Members Are Active at EH In December of 1971, a new club was added to the Es- cambia High School roster. This club, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Funderburk, was organized for those interested stu- dents who felt a need to have a more active part at Escambia High School. The name Para Amigas comes from the Spanish word which means For Friends. The purpose of the club is to serve the school and commu- nity in a beneficial manner. The members are girls from H6 grade 10-12. Some of the projects undertaken were car washes and doughnut and candy sales. Mrs. Funderburk stated, Being a relatively new club, I think Para Amigas has done well in carrying out its purpose. The girls are energetic and very concerned about the growth and the survival of the club. It is a thrill to work with them and even consider myself a part of this clubf'

Madewell, Sandra Martin, Donna Martin, Susan Morris, Lynn Pre-School Activities Began Year of Service for EAC Entre, Amis started working early this year by beginning in pre-school activities. Members distributed football schedules to various businesses in the community, laundered the type- writer covers for the business department, and had the Hall of Fame completed before the school year began. Rebel Pride was exemplified through each EAC member as they painted the trash cans on campus blue and orange. Drawing and painting the Rebelman for each football game and entering a float in the Homecoming motorcade displayed even further the pride EAC felt for their school. Time, devotion, and concem enhanced each member as they gave the small children at Sacred Heart Children,s Hos- pital a Christmas party. Other activities were hosting a chicken dinner in October, co-sponsoring the annual Christ- mas Dance, having car washes and doughnut sales, collecting for the cancer drive and Gravy Train, and attending church together. They also participated in the Homecoming motor- cade, in which they won first place with a Volkswagen deco- rated as a mouse. The year wasn't only work, however, many social activities also took place. Among them were installation of new mem- bers, mother-daughter tea, hosting a Valentines teachers' tea, slumber parties, progressive dinner, a breakfast following the Christmas Dance, Angel Week before Christmas, Bunny Week preceding Easter, and the senior's last and most cher- ished EAC memory . . . senior banquet. Through the leadership of the president, Kathy Gatterdam and guidance of EAC's dearly loved sponsor Mama Wrenn, a meaningful and memorable year came to a close. Kathy expressed her year of working with these girls as, Working and playing, laughing and crying together, the EAC members shared many exciting moments and memories to be cherished.
