l l CARETAKER. fAboveJ At the Christ- mas Box Presentation Party, Red Cross Teen Council member Erlinda Batac watches over kids who reside in the off-base squatter area. She stated, I used to be a teacher's assistant at a Montessori preschool, so taking care of children comes easy to me. I love kids, and my ambition is to become a pedia- trician. Hopefully, I'lI reach that goal. HELPING HANDS. tLeftJ Janel Guglielmclti and Jason Schatz devot- ed their time after school to helping the Typhoon Nina disaster relief project. According to Janel, I didn't think about how much work we did, but how much the people needed the supplies. AT YOUR SERVICE. tRightI After two hours of packing rice for typhoon victims, Maria Victoria Gcdule found it a hard job, but the experience was enjoyable. LIFESAVER , ANYO I had just finished breaking up a cat burglar ring when J.T., my assistant, led in a well- dressed woman wearing expen- sive perfume. Hello, please have a seat, Mrs. . . f' Mrs. Toussaintf, Pleased to meet you. How may my agency help you?,' This may sound like an un- usual request, but I've tried both professional and amateur agencies and so far- nothingfl I was hooked, I loved challenges, and this definitely sounded like one. Why this agency, Mrs. Toussaint- perhaps a sugges- tion from one of my clients? Actually, I opened the phone book and randomly chose one of the agencies on the pagef' Okay, so it wasnlt the answer I wanted, life goes on. What exactly is the prob- lem? I want to find a club that helps the less fortunate and donate my money to them. That didn't sound hard. But what's the catch? It has to be an all teen club and I want proof of what they've done. You will be given four days to find one. Here's where you can contact mef' She sure didn't give a person much time. Thank you, Mrs. Toussaint, I'll be in touch soon . As soon as she left, I found another cli- ent waiting for me. This time it was a young man, I6 or 17, conservatively dressed- intelli- gent looking. Please come into my office ...,' May Michaels, just call me Jay? Care for a butterseotch Lifesaver? It's only I0 calories a piece. Thanks, butterseotch is my favorite. g'Okay Jay, how may I help you? Well, I'm looking for an elite club, no fraternities please, that suits my needsfl Why did you choose my agency? I just chose two agencies, flipped a coin, and you won the tossf' Let me see if I can figure you out. You dress ultra con- servatively, you're a member of the debate club, you plan to major either in law or econom- ics, and you are looking for a prestigious club. Right, Well, I happen to know of this club called the National Honor Society. According to Mr. Scales, the sponsor, it's an 'organization of the total stu- dent: academically, socially, and servicewiseg a well-bal- anced studentf What kind of things do they do? They serve as guides during events like Parents Night, par- ticipate in activities such as the Academic Bowl, assist in com- munity service work like the annual Christmas Bazaar. '5Sounds fine to me. I'll check it out. Who did you say the sponsor was? Mr. Scales. Talk to him. Ilm sure you will be able to get inducted in February. Good luckll' I popped another Lifesaver into my mouth and went back to thinking about the Toussaint case. I know what you've think- ing, but if Kojak can have his lollipops, I can have my butter- seotch Lifesavers. I flipped through the Subic Bay News and found the Red Cross Teen Council featured on the front page donating boxes filled with rice, beans, more foodstuffs, and other necessities for needy families from Pagasa. That was it! This was what Toussaint was looking for! I also knew that members helped pack rice and canned goods for the vic- tims of Typhoon Nina. I went to GDHS to check out the sto- ry and talk to some of the members. I also arranged for Mrs. Toussaint to meet me at 3:00 in my office. Mrs. Toussaint, the Ameri- can Red Cross is the perfect organization that needs your help . I've talked to a couple of the kids about the things they've done. I asked Erlinda Batac about the Christmas Party held at Admiral Springs Park. She said, 'The Christmas Box Project was an excellent idea. We, the Teen Council, as a whole, were able to help those less fortunate have an en- joyable and memorable Christ- mas.' You can't find a better group than this. It sounds excellent! I'll talk to the sponsor at once. Who did 'you say it was?! You can contact Mrs. Tescherg she's the school nurse. That will be fine. I've final- ly found a group of teens doing something to help those outside the sheltered community on base. You're a lifesaverl You'll find your payment in the mail, and a bonus for solving the problem so quickly. Thank you, Mrs. Tous- saint. Another case wrapped up by the Turquoise Bay detec- tive agency. Okay, so it's not like MAGNUM P.l. or MOONLIGHTING, but it certainly has its rewards, like Mrs. Toussanit's check. Now J.T. and his family can finally take their long overdue vaca- tion. As for me, I can visit Par- is one more time, and corner the market on butterseotch Lifesavers. 9l

:I ' 4.10m-Isa ' as 3 E l , . -F TASK FORCE. Ms. Cizek discusses upcoming events for Spirit Wcck with the Junior High Student Council. They finally agreed on Twins Day , the first day of Spirit Week. AILI G TO L - C Pl .t S George Dewey's Secret Recipe For Successful Futures-Preheat ambition at 3750 Cunlimited servingsj Ingredients: l cup leadership 1 cup poise M cup practice M1 cup organization 2 tablespoons of energy 2 tablespoons eye contact 4 heaping tspns of spirit 1 minced sincerity A sprinkle of pride A pinch of talent A dash of charisma Combine and mix well until all lumps are gone, then serve to willing students. This recipe was eagerly consumed by members of Student Council, Junior High Student Council, and Forensics. The Sr. and Jr. High student councils held separate meet- ings every month from which thoughts and ideas developed into projects and activities. These meetings were produc- tive, though a bit hectic at times. Ms. Humphrey, Student Council Adviser, commented, The council worked hard and their spirit helped them work to their full potential in lead- ing. Student Council spon- sored the lst dance of the year , the 1987 Christmas As- sembly, and the Valentines Dance, aka Heart Throb '88 . One of my greatest satisfac- tions this year, stated Nilanie Choing, secretary, was our 1st dance because it had the ,big- gest' turnout of all dancesf' Student Council also spon- sored Black Heritage Month during February in which Mar- tin Luther King pledge cards were distributed to the stu- dents and a mystery person contest was carried out. The major event Student Council organized was SPIRIT WEEK, Feb. 29-March 4. It had a very rough start but planning turned out well and smooth, stated Robia Sem- kow, public relations. Junior High Student Coun- cil, composed of spunky 7th and 8th graders, sponsored two dances this year, a Halloween Dance, held in the new cafete- ria, and a Christmas Dance at the 19th Hole. George Dewey's Forensics team, composed of students who competed in areas of speech, drama, and debate, took part in tournaments held at Clark and I.S. The team placed 3rd overall in Clark, with individual placements by Shelly Kroeger, Val Paraiso, Madeline Atok, Connie Wray, and Tracy Kline. Mr. Scales, Forensics coach, stressed, '6Public speaking is so impor- tant there is no way one can communicate without speaking. He said judging in forensics is based on poise, en- unciation, grammar, tone, and organization. The top 10 speakers, who were selected by audition, participated in the Far East Speech Festival at Seoul, Korea on March 14-16. These students were Bryan Raaz, Allison Brooks, Lisa Griffin, Liz Ahl, Chris West- bay, Connie Wray, Anne Ma- capagal, Shelly Kroeger, Holly and Val Paraiso. Rounds, What else can be added to spice up the recipe for Student Council, Junior High Student Council, and Forensics? Per- haps Madeline Atok, forensics team, has the answer, In order to get your ideas across, you must first learn to have others involved: people. 93
