Clubs Offer Sense Cf Belonging Do you belong to a club? Many students do not, but they may not realize how belong- ing to a club may help them. Dennis Shep- perd, Math teacher, believes that most stu- dents only have certain interests narrowed on one or two subjects, I think clubs help broaden the interests of a student. Clubs force students to work together and to therefore meet more people. He also be- lieves that, unfortunatly, clubs only touch a small group of students. I believe that clubs mostly have members who belong to other clubs and so only a small elite group of students participate in them. Sarah Nesmith, Home Economics teach- er, feels that clubs are extremely helpful to Brian Gallagher and Scott Johnson scarf down a hamburger or two while Shadows performs during students. Clubs give students a sense of responsibility and self worth, an example is it the student is given a job to do within a club and they complete it with excellence, this might give the student a sense of pride. She also feels that students grow when given more and more responsibility. Clubs also put a student and teacher one on one and make them work together, Students also learn that adults are people too. Team work is a must for a club, students learn how to work together also. Students may also be given a sense of belonging, making them feel part of something. Clubs also help students become more involved in their school. the float displayr Striking a pose, Keri Lown and Andy Alexander act seductive.

A creative note is left on the language arts window for students to read. 'SG IT GGES' Schedules strain sanity Well, here we are at school . Again. Can you believe it? Or are you still asleep, all snug in your bed, while visions of Water World, Thirsty's, and Elitch's dance in your head? I'm not. Registration NEVER fails to sl -ck me back to reality. Wasn't it fun A waiting in line for a half hour, only to realize you forgot your i.d.? Then you had to wait for a new one to be made so you could join the end of the half-hour line. Again. Then you got through the doors, Finally. And you began actually registering. THAT process was too horrifying to even put into words. I swear it's never taken me less than three hours. Well, This year I'm a senior. And I decided that for once, registering was going to be easy. I came up with a plan and everything. First I was going to just walk in, whether I had my emergency cards or not. If anyone complained, I was just going to confidently explain that I was a senior now, and they wouldn't be needing my cards. Then I would pass by the table and they would hand me all the papers, no questions asked. Just in case, I would be prepared with a bribe. Now, on to the cafeteria. Everything was to go perfectly smoothly. I would calmly walk up to a social studies teacher and announce that I needed psycholo- gy period three. If she said it was full, I planned to continue standing there, gently but firmly insisting that she let me in. It didn't MATTER if the list was full. Shels simply have to erase someone else's name. At this point, if she seemed irate, I'd smile sweetly and say, I know a little girl who needs a nap, before quickly walking away. If this didnlt work, I was going to stand on a table in the middle of the cafeteria, rip up all my papers, and yell, Fine! I didn't want to come to school anyway! Obviously, I didn't. Because here I am, at school. Again. 'So it goes.' Varsity cheerleaders Amy Ahrenkiel and Ann Morrisette help with registration. During registration, Troy Tyson and Jolene Baca sell Italian Ice for the junior class.
