IMC Students Work Behind The Scenes The English Department enabled the start of the new Speech Club. It consists of the Speech Team, who give speeches at the club meetings, and the other members are their audi¬ ence. This club is open to all students. It is sponsored by Linda Breyer, one of our English teachers. Students in the Speech Club volunteered to partici¬ pate in contests at various schools. Some of their choices were poetry, radio, girls extempt or impromtu speeches. Advanced Library Experienced stu¬ dents were trained by Virginia McDonald, the director of the IMC, to maintain an efficient Instructional Materials Center. Shelving books and keeping the library in order are fun¬ damental. Students also man the check-out desk, work in the magazine and listening and viewing rooms and deliver study hall sign-in sheets. They work behind the scenes repairing and processing materials. a. Pat Murphy attempts to master the com¬ puter. The club meets in the Math office. Members learn some commands and how to operate the electronic brain . Teachers use the computer, too. b. Dana Arthur, president of the History Club, leads an open discussion with the other members. Pat Milligan gives his suggestions for their next project, c. Many students find the Periodicals section of the library to be a nice place to sit and browse. Magazines and newspapers may be checked out at the magazine room window, d. Two Speech Club members, Carolyn Fair and Deb¬ bie Sheer, check their speech to make sure it says the right thing, is well organized, con¬ vincing and interesting. The audience must also be considered when writing and present¬ ing a speech.

Program Yourself To Learn A Benjamin Franklin kite-flying con¬ test or carnival was planned by the History Club to raise money. After they accumulated the amount needed, their goal was to go on a spring trip. The sponsor is John Allen and the president was Dana Arthur. If you never joined the Computer Math Club because you thought you needed more math, relax. If you were good in General Math, you could learn to do quite a bit with the com¬ puter which is located in the Math Office. Of course, the more math knowledge you possess, the more commands you can learn, the easier it is to operate the computer. Experi¬ enced students used the computer as an aid in doing their homework. Natu¬ rally, an interest in learning to use the computer was a necessity.

Thespians: On Stage and Behind it A student does not need to be an actor to be in Thespians. However, co¬ sponsors Jerry Hurst and Paul Justice, require each person to accumulate ten points. These points are equal to a number of experiences and can be gained by watching or by participat¬ ing in productions that have some¬ thing to do with the stage. Once these points have been earned, the club members decide whether or not the student will be initiated. Thespians is a national honorary society. Many of the club members participated in the school plays. Vice-president was Karen Bouchonnet and the president was Mike Wheeler. Mike said, “All of us in Thespians are students who have put in many hours on stage or around it, as the stage crew. During play time, everyone plays a very important part in making the play a success. ”
