Missouri Or Bust It was November 10 and ten people were busily packing for their week long excursion. They couldn't help from being excited. After all, it's not everyday one gets to hear Vice-President George Bush, Chrysler president Lee lacocca and football star Roger Stau-bach speak at the same place. Who were these people and where were they going? They were the Hauser Future Farmers of America (FFA) attending the annual National Convention. FFA sponsor, Arnold Ellison, and his wife along with eight students, traveled to the Convention Center in Kansas City, Missouri. They were among 24,000 other FFA members from the 50 states and other countries who went for an education week. Some of the fea- tures included motivational speakers, career shows, and slide presentations of new ideas in agriculture. Stephanie Coy commented, It was really interesting. There was always something going even a rodeo.'' Although this was an educational event, there were plenty of things going on to keep it interesting. Mr. Ellison concluded, All of our students kept saying how much fun they had, they're ready to attend another one.'' FFA members Pat Walters and Shane Ellison bag oranges that were sold for a club fundraiser. They made over $3,000 and cleared over $1,000 for their club by selling 200 cases of oranges. They also had a donkey basketball game and sold apple cider at Heritage Days. Little Things Mean A Lot Sharing, kindness and helping people around them is what the 15 girls in Sunshine Society do. They made life a little easier for others by baking cookies and buying donuts for the teachers, as well as visiting Miller's Merry Manor. Another activity involved each member picking an ideal lady whom they admire. During the year, they sent anonymous gifts to that person. At the end of the year, they invited their ideal lady to a party to reveal who their Sunshine girls was. Since the Society was new at Hauser, three members and their sponsor, Mrs. Nancy Wagner, went to a three day camp where they learned more about the Society. They divided into groups and showed each other scrapbooks about their local chapters. They also talked about money making ideas. We had a lot of fun meeting people and learning ways to expand our chapter, said President Kristina Fiesbeck. Sunshine club members Lea Ann Christy, Debbie Copeland, and Kristina Fiesbeck compare their calendars to come up with a date for their upcoming volunteer work at Miller's Merry Manor. 16 Clubs and Organizations

This was not an athletic team, but a speech team. Headed by Mary Beth Hufty. a junior high and senior high team were organized. Over all approximately 25 students participated regularly in the club. The team's main activity was to participate in speech meets. The average meet contained 18 to 25 schools. The students had the opportunity to participate in several different categories. Most schools offered humorous interpretation. dramatic interpretation, duo interpretation, poetry, extemporaneous speaking, original oratory, oratorical interpretation, radio broadcasting, prose reading, and discussion. Each meet was divided into rounds. There were three rounds for a jr. High meet, and four for the Sr. High. The team attended meets at several central Indiana schools. They also were involved in some oratorical contests and other public speaking functions. Over the year they participated in 15 speech competitions. The high school members could acquire points by placing in the top five at the speech meets or by giving oral pre- sentations to groups of 25 or more people. After earning 25 points, the student could be admitted to the National Forensic League, an honorary fraternity of accomplished speakers. The team stated one of their main goals was to get members admitted to this association. Mrs. Hufty indirectly stated one of ‘‘They’re learning and they don’t even realize it!” her own personal goals when she said. The students are not just learning to speak. In order to be effective they're researching a lot of different kinds of literature, keeping up on current events, and getting into areas that are new and challenging. They're learning and they don't even realize it! Clubs and Organizations 13

E ight P eriods What do you like to do for fun when not in school? Have you ever thought of weightlifting, modeling, or even tie dying? These are a few of the “classes” that students participated in during activity period. Activity period was first considered three years ago, but didn’t take effect until last year. “This was a nice change of pace for the kids. It gave them time for leisure activities during school,” stated Mr. Gene Genth. There were no problems except for the fire. Mr. Genth planned on having bells ring according to the amended schedule that activity day entailed, but the fire ruined the whole bell system. Teachers dismissed classes based solely on their classroom clocks. All classes were shortened about ten minutes in order to make time at the end of the day for the activity period. “I am really glad that we get activity periods this year. It’s a lot of fun and it takes us away from the pressures of school,” stated Dan Holcomb. ing weights. Weightlifting was one of the activities that alternated every other meeting.
