X A it Mrs. Judy Holcomb and Mrs. Susie Thacker definitley gave the newly formed Biology club a boost by incor- porating the idea of raising wild animals in the club's dai- ly activities. A guest speaker from the Living Material Center was invited to talk to the members about how to tame the animals and also how to gain the most from this uni- que experience. The students were shown both films and live specimens such as ar- madillos, gerbils, and iguanas so when their own time came to play parental role to their pets they would be better prepared. The students would not receive their pets until summer when they would assume full responsibility for the caring and raising of their untamed animal. Mrs. Thacker and Mrs. Holcomb, the sponsers of the club, thought the best way for the students to learn about animals would be from per- sonal experience with them. The Living Material Center was in need of voluntary help in this area so both the students and the Center benefited from Mrs. Thacker and Mrs. Holcomb's creative idea. Written by Angelica Smith.

This national high school competi- tion of knowledge and speech consisted of a group of students categorized by their grade point average. The team members com- peted in categories such as English, Ecomnomics, Fine Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, an interview, an essay and two speeches. 'tThe competition let them see how much fun it was to learn without the pressure of grades, Mr. Robert Den- nison, coordinator said. The team came home with several awards which includ- ed medals from various categories. Cara McDonald earned an award in the inter- view category. John Hargrove won a medal in speech and Patrick Walsh was awarded a medal in Social Sciences. It was a tiring but satifs- fying, John Hargrove, senior, said. Written by Gus Tello.

oot ord On December 3rd Latin clubs from J.V., Cy-Fair, Cy-Creek, and Langham Creek High Schools took part in a Latin wedding which was held in the J.V. com- mons. Not the most appropriate place for a wedding but the students managed to pay less at- tention to their surroundings and more to what their priest , Mr. David Jones, Latin teacher at Cy-Creek, was saying. The students gathered around in a cir- cle so that no one would miss their cue to say the magic word Facio or I do. Photo by Ralph Bullman.

With its 37 members the club kept busy with such activities as the Food Fair, bowling parties, attending plays at University of Houston, and their annual trip to Europe which took place in June. The most unique thing I noticed about the club was that everything was very organized. Things got ac- complished because the club ran so smoothlyf, Cheryl Kelley said. Fund raising was also part of the club's ac- tivities. They sold candles to raise money for the Latin Banquet. My favorite event was the Food Fair, said junior Jen- nifer Smith, My mouth watered everytime I thought of all those different kinds of foods. I think that Mirs. Straube contributed a great deal to the club's being so well put together, Bryan Roberts said. Besides teaching at J.V. Mrs. Leila Straube also taught Latin at Cy-Fair High School and so really had her hands full. This didn't seem to affect the club as it was easy to see that the Latin Club was one of the most in- teresting clubs of which to have been a part. Written by Angelica Smith. Latin Club 117
