FBLA The Future Business Leaders of America QFBLAJ, a national youth organization for any high school student enrolled in a busi- ness course, held many activities through- out the school year. The activities were di- vided into six different areas: leadership, community, service, fund raising, school scholarship support, and skills competition. Some of the group's activities included building the float which was in the Home- coming Parade, and their only fund raiser, the Type-a-thon. The Type-a-thon raised money to enable a scholarship to be given to a business student, and to help defray the cost of sending students to regional competitions at Howard Vo-tech and Ocean City. The winners ofthe FBLA Type- a-thon were Jennifer Wessendorf, Gwyn Galdo, and Bill Olver. L-1.4 '---I L-...J 1: 4 , A 4 Members of the FBLA are hard at work discus- sin-Ig the activities planned.

WMHS - The T.V. Club The T.V. Club was formed so that stu- dents could learn how to operate all televi- sion equipment, including the control room, studio, and lighting. They learned to operate the equipment both on location and in the studio. The T.V. Club members practiced oper- ating the equipment at their meetings. They took turns in front of the camera to see how well they could perform while others operated the cameras. The T.V. Club videotaped many things for the school. They videotaped class proj- ects, such as the social studies classes news programs and interviews. They taped all of the Drama Club productions and most major sports events. If they were asked to, they taped special events, such as the FtOTC's Annual Formal Inspection. The T.V. Club worked well this year be- cause at the same time that the members were learning to use video equipment, other clubs and organizations benefited from the practice that the members of the T.V. Club needed. A Members of the T.V. Club: Back Ftow: Carlos Pear- son, Carson Lobb, Mrs. Dru Simpkins Front Flow: Doug Phelps, Ronnie Harry, Steve Andrzejewski P Carlos Pearson works with the equipment in the television studio. 118!T.V.
