CLUBS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS Participation Varies Participation in organiza- tions and clubs varied this year. While some clubs in- creased in numbers, there were others that suffered a noticeable loss. This year, more clubs were involved with community charities and ac- tivities: Christmas Cheer, the Heart Fund, Easter Seals, and Salvation Army took priority over field trips and assem- blies. It seemed as if all the clubs of this year were working toward a common cause - to better the community. Holding all the clubs and organizations together and urging participation in each was the S.C.A. This year, as with every other year, the student council was one of the most active organizations in the school. Composed of approximately 50 students representing each grade level, the S.C.A. spon- sored school dances, assem- blies, and community tund- raisers. Jan Eggleston, vice- president, stated, The student council betters the relationship between the students and the faculty. President Michelle Wilson simply commented, The S.C.A. is the backbone of the school. Truly, the student govern- ment is the backbone of the school. Along with collecting money for the Crop Walk, Christmas Cheer, and Multiple Sclorosis Fund, the S.C.A. sponsored activities and assemblies for the school such as the door decorating contest at Christmas and the annual spring fair. This organization coordinates the Homecoming Dance in the fall and the basketball reception in the winter. In the spring, the student government used Laurel Park as a local chapter for the Blood Mobile and collected its quota of 70 pints.
