Some ant To Know Science Club is basically for students who have a common interest in science, and who want to have a good time, says Gail Roberson, chairman. Started five years ago, this organization is geared to provide as many enrichments, that couldn't be done in the classroom, as possible. Past projects have included plant sales, aluminum and paper drives for recycling, selling donuts plus being active with the Green Peace organization and wildlife associations. This year field trips to Martin-Marietta, and the planetarium were planned, along with a computer seminar for the members. They had planned to remain involved in Green Peace again this year. Mrs. Macnamee, who, along with Mr. Reed, spon- sor the club, says Anyone with an interest in science is welcome to join. It's an informal organization with no dues or criteria for membership. The five person board who lead the club are, Gail Roberson, chairman, Doug Johns, Kathy Jeffers, Eric Monson and Chris Ismailidas. Dmitry Chernyak and Chris Tesli watch as Mr. Reid works a problem on the computer. Back: Doug Johns, Chris Tesli, Rick Jeffers, Dave Reid, Chris Loop, Sue McNamee, Tony Jimenez.

Along with its 25 members, Government Club sponsored a number of governmental activities this year. Among those, were the first elections the club has ever had. Casey Kuypers was elected President, James Miller, Vice-President, and Guy Gunther was elected Treasurer. Kari Kolleth was elected Secretary. This year like all the rest, Government Club held a Mock Congress. This annual event is held each year along with other schools at the state capital during December 7-9. What this 'Mock Congress' does is let Government clubs from all over experience what it is like to be a part of our Government system, stated Senior, Whitney Seymour, a four year member. December is the only month this Mock Congress is held, continued Seymour. This is because Congress is off for vacation. Along with a Mock Congress, Government Club worked along with the Y.M.C.A and Youth and Government to create other experiences of what Government is like. Such activities included a model United Nations, and Judicial programs, which were similar to Mock Congresses. This year's Government Club sponsor, also Social Studies chairperson, was Faith Gunther. According to Gunther, This year's Government Club went very well, partly because many of its members have been with the club since it began. Gunther, however hoped that next year's members won't fall off. I have talked to Mr. Perault to see if he would join next year, as an Assistant sponsor, stated Gunther. According to Whitney Seymour, Mrs. Gunther is one of the most hard working teachers l have ever met. She spends a lot of her time with the group. I love her. Nationally it is estimated that there are about 300 to 400 Government Club members. Fund raising for Government Club was done through popcorn sales, and other funds were obtained through Senate. According to Gunther, We don't use or spend a lot of money. Most of it goes to our float. This year's float for the Homecoming parade was portrayed by Lisa Heaston as the Statue of Liberty. Among other activities, Government Club supported the Close-up program which was sponsored by Mr. Boerner of Social Studies. Debbie Margrave and Faith Gunther practice some Government Club exercises. Members ride on the float. Lisa Heaston as the Statue of Liberty in the Homecoming parade. FQ ii' 'iff'

Many of the students involved with International ' f . sarr rye' ' f' w Club have shown a talent for foreign languages. Some Z .f ,,,f, ,, ,,,.W,,N .t I arsr I have taken two different languages and therefore like the club because they can keep in contact with both of them. at , Activities in the club vary. At times the whole group will participate in an activity, like the upcoming trip to Mexico. At other times, the seperate languages will do something individually, apart from the rest of the club. Examples of this are when the French speaking members go to dinner at a French restaurant, and, likewise, the Spanish members dine at a Mexican restuarant. The main goal of International Club this year was to raise enough money to go on a trip to Mexico over spring break. Club members planned to sell nachos at the Homecoming parade, in which of course, they participated in by dressing up in the native clothing of France, Spain, and Germany. Gummy bears and Reese's peanut butter cups were also sold to help raise money for the trip. In the past, International Club has also sold Unicef Christmas Cards. This was a great opportunity at G.M. to gain some experience and knowledge of how the rest of the world lives. It was learning, made fun! The Internation Club members kick the other way.
