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

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.

. , 5 uto uto ,f1' -, silssl , r r Improving the academic record at J VHS was the main goal of the peer tutoring group FLASH. The FLASH or Falcons Lending Another Student a Helping Hand was composed of 45 students who volunteered their time to spend with students who ex- perienced academic difficulties. Each ninth grader in the program was matched with a FLASH tutor in an effort to improve the student's perfor- mance, Mrs. Martha Vardeman said. FLASH spent one long day in training to help them with their tutorees. Two guests, Mrs. Peg Coats and Mr. Dave Suggs of Dallas spent their time lecturing to the students on peer problems and presures. It is a great experience to help someone else in need, Junior Kent Soots said. FLASH hopes to grow and improve for years to come to set JVHS on an academic ex- cellence record.
