Advisor Allyn Stillman Chinese Club Chop-Chopped Chinese Club was the most active club for its size this year at Foss. The members invited Chinese students from the University of Puget Sound and Pacific Lutheran Uni- versity to attend Chinese Club meetings, so they could inform the members about life in China. During the win- ter, they all met at a member's house one weekend and ate a big Chinese meal which they prepared themselves. For some of the students in Chinese Club, this knowledge of Chinese culture will be put to valuable use as they plan to join other students from Stadium and live in Taiwan for a month this summer. Living with native families, they will speak only Chinese. All the money raised this year through bake sales, fortune cookie sales, a paper drive, and the sale of T-shirts was used to defray the travel expenses. Don't drool on the cupcakes! ' i

Early last summer Foss' outstanding cheerleading staff was chosen from seventeen finalists by cheerleaders from the University of Puget Sound, and Pacific Lutheran University. The eight hand- picked Varsity, and four Junior Varsity cheerleaders then began the long hours of work which led to their becoming an effective staff. ln addition to their full load of varsity cheer- leading responsibilities, the girls also served as Foss' unofficial ambassadors of goodwill. They appeared twice on the Don St. Thomas Show, at all the fund raisers, the hole-in-one-tour nament in August, and the Lee Trevino Benefit. The opening day of school posed a challenge for the yell staff. As this was Foss' first year of existence, there was little school spirit. Throughout the year it grew, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the cheerleaders. ln January, Jon Wesley joined the staff to stir the students in the stands who were experiencing the winter drags. The students at Foss owe a lot to the cheerleaders of 1973-1974. f-BMX ,,. fa
