Club raises 1220 canned goods for needy Be Aware — Appreciate — Achieve — this was the Reagan Awareness club ' s theme, and this was the message that the club tried to impress upon its members. One purpose of the club was to encourage the members to be aware of who they were, where they were, where they were going, and what it would take to get there. The club stayed very active this year with regular meetings and rap sessions. One of their discussion topics was You are Somebody Special. Several successful activities were carried out this year. In November a canned food drive was held and the food was donated to needy families around the holiday season. There was a competition between second period classes to see who could bring in the most cans. The winning class was given a cake and Coke party. The canned food drive was completely successful, reported Adolph Evans, president of the Awareness club. There was a great deal of participa- tion from both the faculty and the students, he added. Also around the holiday season, both the Reagan and LBJ Awareness clubs held a party at the Kingston Village party house. To celebrate Black History Month in February, the club sponsored a program held during school hours in which various young Blacks performed talents such as singing, speaking, and playing musical instruments. Other activities of the year included a trip to Six Flags and the Annual Afro Ball.
