.W decade of winning floats For the tenth year in a row, Music Club again came up with a first place. float for the homecoming parade. Its circus calliope came into existence thanks to money raised by candy sales and the hard working efforts of Music Club's members. Some of the members also attended a Music Camp at North Central College in Naperville. For one week they practiced a staggering six hours a day. The result of their labor was a concert in which they performed their newly-mastered pieces. The Aeolian, Freshman Mixed, and Dorian Choirs blended harmon- ious voices and sang in Christmas and spring concerts. The program con- 4 , sisted of numbers from the different groups and ended with a grand finale. While singing for the student body during assemblies, the choral groups actually rehearsed for their shows. These not only benefited the singers but turned into free shows for the student body. Belles and Beaus, consisting of about thirty members, sang in school concerts and also for civic groups and churches. Mr. James Chiado, director of Belles and Beaus, commented, The group provides students with an opportunity to excel in singing a variety of music. Debbie Tymczuk readily agreed, It gives us a chance to get together and work at doing it right. lj Wielding the first place cup, Annalyn Chalabala and Cindy McDonald rejoice at Music Club's float victory. 25 After a performance at Clyde Savings, Belles and Beaus enjoy a refreshing treat. 35 In the earliest stage of creating their floats, Music Club members transform tissue paper into colorful flowers. 45 Contributing to the choral concert, Belles and Beaus chime with Christmas spirit.

Ecology Club revives endangered habitats W? A-M. ' y - eaa: -'1-' 1 N-...NM ,,,.,, . . .,k, , f..,. .,.,,..N. ,cc .',' The limited environment of school, home, and work didn't stop students at West from learning more about their world. One club that students participated in to learn more about helping less fortunate people was the Medical Careers Club. The club functioned as a Red Cross Youth Club and worked for the betterment of human relations. Karen Rezek felt that the purpose of the club was to help other people. It's a great feeling knowing that you're helping someone. Alicia Rabiega added, We have fun and meet other people. Also we help people out and have fun doing it! An example of one worthwhile project was the collect- ing and filling of Christmas stockings for the needy. The study of nature was a main purpose of Ecology Club. Members in the club tried to preserve ecologically endangered areas such as the Wolf Road Prairie. Other activities includ- ed caring for the nature center, organizing paper drives, and visiting the Fullersburg Nature Preserve to observe the beautiful, fragile works of nature found there. lj Cleaning the nature site with the Ecology Club shows Laura Bartik's belief in man's need to care for his environment. 25 Aided by Mrs. Louise Lavenau and Mrs. Evelyn Vocelka in constructing friendship boxes, Denise Kostka and Alicia Rabiega fulfill their duties as Red Cross Club members. 31 At Brookfield Zoo's viewing window, Alice Jczck and Bonnie Kovacic make friends with one of thc most intelligent animals on carth, thc dolphin.
