Hellgate’s chapter was organized by ad- visor Brad Hart and led by president Lisa Parks. The group met Thursdays during lunch and at these meetings they planned fund raisers, and decided on service projects, which included giving a Missoula family a Christmas dinner along with gifts for the kids. They also worked on their projects for the annual state convention in April. Their fund- raisers included selling candy bars and gift wrapping at the mall. The money they earned was used to help pay for their trips to various conventions around the state. At the state convention members participated in dif- ferent competions of business knowledge and leadership. There were many divisions to compete in such as, advertis- ing, fashion design, and resteraunt management. This year's offericers were president. Lisa Parks; vice president.

Each year at the end of November, students from all over Montana gather at the Umveristy of Mon- tana to act out a United Nations session. This convention is call- ed Model United Nations and this year about 40 Hellgate students participated. They began in mid- September by dividing into six delegations, with each delega- tion representing a country that belongs to the real United Na- tions. From then until Nov. 19 they prepared resolutions to present at the convention. At the convention each delegation presented their resolutions and usually heated debates followed. This year two Hellgate students were named in the top 20 delegates. They were juniors J.D. Childes and Frank Sennett. Activities 25
