Clean air, water, and land for ourselves and future generations was the whole reason for CUPP. The club started when a group of students doing a project on pollution for Mr. Hunter ' s biology class discovered how dirty our environment really is. They got the idea of organizing a club and started with a clean-up cam- paign. Papers, cans, glass, and cardboard were redeemed. Part of the money was used to buy trees for our campus, with the rest of the money donated to the Humane Society, This donation was requested by North Oaks Junior High, which worked in conjunction with Haltom on this project. Displaying their desire to improve Haltom , Robert Ghent and Roy Do- zier prepare a tree for more effi- cient watering. With papers papers everywhere, Steve Young, Bill Tye, and David Schleeter tackle a heap of papers to be stacked and tied for the project. Organizations ii7

At Haltom High School, Future Farmers of America have a new chapter this year. Headed by Mr. Robert Anderson (who also teaches at Richland the second half of the day), members go to school half the day and work at nurseries the remainder of the day. They learn the technical aspects of cattle, horses, crops, and other phases of agriculture. They have been on field trips to the State Fair, the Stock Show, the Van Rose Cattle Company, and to Texas A and M. Members have also competed in the District Competition for Leadership. And have you noticed the greenhouse lately? FFA and Mr. Hunter ' s biology class have it completely rejuvenated and even have plants growing in it. Digging for fishing worms? No, Tommy Owens is planting for Future Farmers of America. 1 1 6 Organizations

Was I ever embarrassed at the French Club initiation when we had to put on masks and go on a treasure hunt, that wouldn ' t have been so bad, but we had to ask for things in French! Refreshments and games afterwards made me feel a lot better. . fter this exciting start, the club kept up the pace with more activities. The next big plan was the Christmas party at Mrs. Jones ' house, where we sang Christmas carols in French and exchanged gag gifts. Trade you my jumprope for your jacks. Valentine ' s Day came and guys could Say It With Flowers to their special girls by buying them a carnation. Selling the flowers was the main money-making project of the year. The year came to an end with a trip to France - well, almost the Le Bistro Restaurant had all the atmosphere of a French cafe, and the food to go with it. Umm, that ice cream with rum sauce! Preparing for the second period delivery of carnations is French Club president Melinda Howell.
