As:,erg.,f r - Each month, Student Leaders assembled to discuss ways to improve certain aspects of J.V. Those aspects included promotion of par- ticipation in school activities by the students and faculty, ways of cutting down on teen suicide and drugs, and, of course, promotion of school spirit. This past year the club conducted a Buddy pro- gram to welcome new students and to make them feel at home. The program was started by Mrs. Jodie Smith and Mrs. Sadie Woodard and has continued to be a success. Junior Kim Lopez, vice- president of Student Con- gress, felt the Student Leaders were responsible, aware, and involved. She felt the main advantage of being a student leader was being in- volved with a lot of organiza- tions and being able to sup- port Jersey Village and its students. The students all seemed to hold the same attitude and enthusiasm toward the club. Jennifer Smith, represen- tative of Student Congress Council, said, The Student Leaders were concerned, ac- tive kids who wanted to be a part of Jersey Village. They were kids who felt that they should have a voice in the schoolls activities and functions. The main goal of Student Leaders, which was to create spirit in the school, turned out to be a definite success.

Some of the students from the surrounding high schools were arrested, Channel 13 reported that most of the people taken into custody were J.V. students. This information found its way back to the Student Leaders and several ofthem took action, which resulted in Channel 13 returning to J.V. to get the true facts.

As the contestants left the room, muffled voices of how hard the test was could be heard by the Mu Alpha Theta members. Such were the thoughts that raced through a mathematicians mind after competing in a Mu Alpha Theta tournament. The club hosted several math tournaments on junior and high school levels. Mu Alpha Theta was a club where energetic students worked together to enhance an appreciation of mathematics. Members learned how to be responsible in planning for the tournament, but as Thuy Pham said, Most of all, we learned how to have fun in math! Members participated in the 1960 Math Tournament sponsored by all math teachers within the district. Jersey Village's math club won the award for two con- secutive years, but unfor- tunately lost it to Klein High School this year. Winners of the award who are able to win the award for three years are allowed to keep the trophy forever. Written by Holli Duong. Mu Alpha Theta 53

Although the outcome of the game was not important, there was a lot of fun and friendly com- petition, said senior Mike Anderle. Activities such as this, the trip to Malibu Race Center, and swim and pizza parties helped bring the members in CSU closer together. They presented a friendly at- mosphere in which everyone was apt to be more open. Photo by Carol Sharp. 'I - -...g . , . -ff 15.11, pr Let's go bowling. A typical Sunday afternoon became a little less typical as students met at school and charged to Fair Lanes ready to knock some pins down, UI really had a lot of fun, even though I never did score more than one hundred pointsf joked Junior Sandra Tsai. Developed about six years ago, the Christian Student Union was a combination of students and faculty who pro- vided Christian fellowship. Mr.Monte May, one of five sponsors, felt the most im- portant aspect that made CSU different from other clubs was that, 'fthe students really cared about each other? For Mimi Armanious, president of CSU, being a member enabled her to make a lot of new friends with a common interest. 'tSeeing everyone become closer made CSU a club that had real meaning, Mimi Armanious said. The warm environment and friendliness made me feel like we were one big family, Ellen Tsai added.
