The Art Club designed and made the backdrop for the Chamber of Commerce Banquet for the sixth year. The backdrop was a picturesque scene of a silhouetted cowboy on a horse with a cow running ahead of it. The Highsteppers helped serve and prepare for the banquet. The Health Occupations class sponsored the Great American Smoke-Out in Novem- ber for the American Cancer Society. They worked to educate students on the dangers of smoking and the development of cancer. Also in November the Health Occupa- tions classes offered a Cardiopulmonary Resusciration class for students and teachers. Mrs. jan Edwards scored 100 on the CPR test. The classes were taught by Emergency Medical Technologist and Haltom graduate, David Queen. Later CPR classes were offered through the biology classes. The junior class, in addition to collecting 3450 for the American Heart Association, collected 3385 for a twelve-year-old boy whose mother recently died of leukemia. The Outdoor Ed class made the boy a rod and reel and gave him a season pass to Six Flags. The Future Homemakers of America saved cancelled stamps as one service pro- ject. The stamps were redeemed by an organ- ization overseas to provide tuberculin vac- cine to those in need. For every 60 cents made available, five people could be vacci- nated. FHA members also gave an Easter egg hunt for the retarded students attending Birdville Elementary. A s-v0 ' gn. if: PJ 'ms S ' W Msg, gif ,, , gif - r r ' A .
