20 Organizations ORGANIZATIONS Three organizations: FBLA, FFA, and AFS, enjoyed a tremendous increase in membership during the year. Two things contributed to the success of these student groups. The members of these clubs established and followed through a plan of work which set goals for the upcoming year. These goals were of benefit to the membership and their community. One of these accomplishments was the FBLA Bowl-a-thon. Mr. Carpenter, one of the club’s advisers, explained, “The Bowl-a-thon is a service event in which the proceeds go to the March of Dimes to prevent birth defects. Because of increased membership, the clubs raised much money for competitive events, banquets, field trips, and conferences. The officers, chairpersons, and members attended meetings regularly to follow up on planned projects. One junior remarked, “The members worked very well in planning many events last year.” These clubs had one other advantage for their successes. They were aided by advisers who were willing to spend much time with them to make the year worthwhile. Practicing, Kathy Schneider and Carla Crosby (top) blend their voices in harmony.

The Council’s leader works with her father It's not often that the president of a student council is also the child of the adviser, but Sue Follensbee filled both requirements. Sue explained that the dual association held both advantages and difficulties. “I can say what I want. It makes me less timid, because I know him, she said. She added that it also provided the opportunity for ideas to be expressed before being presented to the Council; therefore, the most appealing projects were carried out. One problem, according to Sue, arose from the fact that she was all too available for carrying out certain tasks, since she was the most convenient candidate; but even so, Sue enjoyed the unusual situation.
