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. Every year we have gotten pf lie Sybil Witcher and Gloria Fuller review an absentee list in their P.E. class. Kelly Stultz reviews a typing assign- ment beiore submitting it to Mrs. Hager.

CLUBS, ORGANIZATIONS, CLASSES Quite a Few Changes better, we have new people with new ideas and that makes the paper better, said Link sponsor Patricia Koger. The Link has gone through quite a few changes. For the most part the year was one of rebuilding. Since only three people were still attending Laurel Park from the previous year, Terri Smith and Vivian Colvin the co-editors and Jeff Gauldin the assistant manag- ing editor. The photography was better this year, stemming from the use of a better camera and more cooperation from the 'yearbook staff. The paper was in years past put out by the Journalism ll class, but this year the two classes were combined. This allows the first year members to have a better look at how a paper is put out and they also have more of a chance to work on the paper, said Mrs. Koger. The Journalism Classes also put out the Lance, a newsletter to parents. The classes are taking a field trip to W.M.V.A. W.l-l.E.E. and the Martinsville Bulletin. The newspaper also spon- sored a library of college catalogues offering journalism as a major. This year the Science Club seemed only to have changed in membership. There were fewer members, but the same old traditions seemed to be satisfactory. This year as in years past, the monthly meetings con- sisted of experiments per- formed, field trips discussed and field trips planned. A bake sale was held this year to raise money for awards given to four and five year members and winners of the annual Science Fair which was held in the spring.
