Time Gut For Science Student debates and demonstrations on the apple computer were just a few of the activities the science club members partici- pated in this school year. Other field trips planned were to the hydrology lab at the Federal Center, and the Jeffco planetarium Christmas show, among other activities. The sponsors of the club, Sue McNamee and Dave Reid, had promising goals for the club. McNamee, who has sponsored the sci- ence club for three years stated, I hope the club will enrich the lives of students, and also promote more interest in the program. Similarly, Reid, who had started his first year of sponsoring the science club at GMHS, hoped that the club would develop a sense of comaraderie among the members. Activities which the club has participated in over the last several years have included selling plants in the spring to raise money for activities, collecting aluminum cans, and test- ing the soil level in gardens for people in the community. Officers in the club included, junior Gail Roberson, Secretary, senior Dale Pratt, Chairperson, junior Doug Jones, Treasurer, and senior Mark Knox, freshman Eric Mon- son, and senior Gary Henderson as advisory board members.

Faith Gunther was the sponsor, and it was her first year of presiding over this particular club. However, she has sponsored Youth-ln-Government and Close-Up to Washington for three years. Gunther's goals were to create community awareness for the November pre-elec- tion. I also wanted to get all eighteen year old students aware that they should register, said Gunther. The club has accomplished a variety of things this past year. During Homecoming, the members in the club got together, and decorated Gunther's Porsche with crape paper. The students walked beside the car with their 'lget out and vote signs. 110 - Government Club Similarly, in order for the club to raise money, they sold candied popcorn of all kinds. ln addition, the club participated in a mock congress, whereby students who were in the club had an opportuni- ty to present bills which they had written. Some bills included, acts to change the appearance of a minor and provisional driver's liscenceg limit the usage of fertilizer on croplandsg require students to be enrolled in foreign language studyg acts to allow minors to donate organs specified on a lVlinor's Driver's License, change the pre- sent Colorado law of not guilty by reason of insanity to guilty by reason of insanity, and to include sales tax in the listings of merchandise.

They are also learning another foreign languageg Spanish, French, or German. Finding out about a few other areas of the world is one of the club's purposes. Kristy Anderson, sophomore, said, I was in it last year and I learned a lot. It was interesting. Amy Tirre, freshman, comment- ed, You learn about different cultures. GMHS students can experience other cul- tures on Quarter Abroad trips, where they travel in another country for several weeks. They raised money to help cover this cost, other camps, and special events through bake and lollipop sales. Every other week International Club stu- dents participated in various activities. The year began as they got together to make their 112 - International Club Homecoming float. Although September 23 wasn't hot chocolate weather their float looked like the Alps. A girl who had traveled to Europe shared her experiences and slides with the group. At Christmas time, they made ornaments. Little mice made of jute appeared wearing Santa caps and having tails of various lengths. One of their highlights was an outing to the Yum Yum Tree restaurant in Aurora. ' . safaris .. -.-.
