Anniversary backdrop first project Where to hang Buffalo now question for administrators to answer Getting into the art club did not require enrolling in art. Twenty-three members, only 17 enrolled in art classes, joined the club. Mrs, Jerrie Jo Wright, art instructor, also served as sponsor. The club's first project involved making and setting up the backdrop for the Haltom-Richland Chamber of Commerce banquet in the W. G. Thomas Jr. Col- iseum. Texas Governor William P. Clements Jr. appeared as guest speaker. The backdrop was a large blue curtain of velvet which was provided by the Chamber of Commerce. Big cardboard let- ters were hung in front of the curtain. The letters, covered in silver glitter read H25 Years of Progress. We worked hard on it, it's not everyday the governor visits our city, said president Marty Kimbrough, During the Richland pep rally Marty and Byron West, vice-president, presented the reconstructed buffalo head which was van- dalized by Richland students, to student body president Robb White. We are not sure where to hang it. Sites for its placement are the cafeteria or the auditorium. The problem with where it is to be hung is due to its weight and tenden- cy to be vandalized again, assistant prin- cipal Mrs. JoAnn Kelley said. Before Christmas vacation the club toured the Fashion and Art Institute of Dallas, , K mama ,,,,,,,,,,,,,c. t..,,,,.. c,,, ,,,,, , r,,,,,,,.

ART CLUB The tour was to help the seniors in the club to see what the school had to offer. lt also allowed the juniors and sophomore members to see if a career for them was in art, Lisa Jones, secretary, remarked. I thought the school was interesting. It was like being in a make believe worldg it also looked like one, sophomore Kai Lewin added. At Olla Podrida, a type of novelty shop- ping mall they also toured, they ate lunch in one of the mall's restaurants. Olla Podrida was different from any other mall live ever seen, It had two levels to shop on and the outside of it looked like a giant barn. It was also made of wood, Byron said. Haltom, Watauga, and North Oaks Junior Highs attended an art class workshop. The students were taken on a tour of the school and then brought back to the art room where Mrs, Judy Horstman, a free lance artist, told them of her work and how she got started in that field, Mrs. Wright said. The art club of both Haltom and Richland sponsored an art show at the Mule Alley in the Exchange Building in the Stockyards. The show featured work from Smithfield, Central, and Haltom Junior Highs. The high schools which entered the show were Haltom, Keller, Richland, and Fort Worth Christian. The art work was gathered in our school foyer and judged. Only the winning work went to Mule Alley, Marty explained. The winners from Haltom included, seniors Denese McGee, Randall Ferris, Stacy Carson, and sophomore Bret Bertholf. The art shows did not stop there. The school show had to be set up. The site for the show was in the gymnastics' gym. The show went up easier this year than ever beforeg everyone was busy working to finish early, Joanne Richardson remarked. The winners received ribbons, however top winners received both trophies and rib- bons. The top winner was Bret Bretholf. He won best of show for a drawing of the rock group Pink Floyd. All the winning work from our school was taken over to the coliseum to compete against Richland in the Birdville District Art Show. Both school clubs again got together and set up the show. The art shows and the art club's ac- tivities came to an end with the North Hills Mall Art Show. The show featured winning work from the district show.l ,fy my is KN yykl B' 0 .4 ft fy. I I ...

I 'S ' f swift ls 'gl 3 in Q -U Guzzlers get taste of culture Gummy bears, gingerbread part of foreign language Perhaps one of the most interesting sub- jects a student could take is that of a foreign language. Not only does that stu- dent learn the language, but he also learns the cultures and habits as well. To teach a foreign language one must first know the language as well as he knows his own. Ability to translate is also another task required. In the French department, Mrs. Jeanie Fisher, two year sponsor and teacher of the class, turned an ordinary class into one of the most popular classfclub organiza- tions in the school. Active in the fund-raising aspect of a club's duties, members sold food, candy, belt buckles, Easter-Grams and various other items to add to their fund. The money went for the trip to New Orleans, and the rest went toward various parties. Mrs. Fisher became pregnant and was told by her doctor that she should remain at home. So, for the remaining half of the last semester Mr. Mike Moore, Richland graduate, and graduate of the University of Texas in Austin, became her replacement. To everyone's surprise, this substitute spoke fluent French, became familiar with the class schedule and closed the year. Mr. Moore and Mrs. Fisher kept in touch throughout the leave and the students did ln the German Club, though the number was quite small, the list of activities was long. They competed in the annual Novemberfest, where they entered their booth and won first place. The booth was decorated from the theme of the Hobbit. Their gingerbread house and costumes placed second, and a team of rootbeer guzzlers won second place. At the Fort Worth Zoo, they learned the names of animals in German. Prior to their visit they had a weenie roast. To raise money, as every club must do, the German club sold Gummy Bears and cherry drops. According to Alan Miller, co-treasurer, lt was a big hit. They also entered a skit in the Gong Show. To close another year the club had their banquet at the Southern Kitchen. They were all presented GAG awards, and those students that maintained A's in the class received certificates. Another event concerning the club was the three week trip to Europe that three students along with Mrs. Fredna Sturch, class and club sponsor, took in June. Those who went were Mary Trimble, Debbie McGee, and Susan Lovelady. They traveled to France, ltaly, Switzerland, Austria and Germanyl not miss any work. French Club.
