1 Clubs Sc Organizations Joining Hands To Serve Us All The many clubs and organizations at Medina give the students the chance to join hands for a good cause and a lot of good times. Together they entertain, educate, and serve both the school and community. Michelle Wilson commented, “I feel clubs, like Drama Club, are great, because they allow students to become involved in the school and community.” Extracurricular activities are necessary for the formation of a well-balanced scholastic and social life. The various student organizations provide a change from the continuous strains of mental and physical exertion, and in doing so, broaden horizons. “The major reason I am in clubs, such as YARC, is because I get valuable experience,” said Dorothy Johnston, YARC president. Each club has a faculty adviser and students share the responsibilities of leader¬ ship with such positions as president, vice president, and often secretary and treasurer. Most clubs are school sponsored, such as the language clubs and some are statewide organizations such as Key Club. Student Council is an example of a nationally affiliated organization. With so many varying activities there is a club to interest practically every student. Community service clubs raise money, volunteer time, adopt grandparents, and work with the retarded. Other clubs concentrate on providing entertainment and some more serious clubs, such as foreign languages, are class related. Clubs like Student Council allow students to become involved in leadership and AFS, the chance to meet friends from far away places. Each club and organization, whatever the focus, plays a vital role in making MHS the all — around great high school it is. Donna Luffman commented, “I enjoy being a part of an organization. It helps me meet new people and still have fun with the old.” ■■■ WSKmm! Junior Dare Niedzwiecki shows his spirit by finishing second for his class in the rocket popsicle eating contest. The contest was part of Student Council’s Winter Spirit Week. (A) Enjoying a first year success, the new musical organization, Men’s Ensemble, performs as The Boys in the variety show Spice.

Clubs Si Organizations Clubs Enhance Students’ Lives Three groups that participate in the school are the locker sisters, student of the month committee, and the Home Ec. club. Although many times their work goes unnoticed, these three groups are very active. Locker sisters work to lift school spirit and the morale of the teams. Team members look forward to finding home-baked goodies and candy in their lockers each night before a game. By receiving these treats, the teams know that they have the support of the entire school. Locker sisters also gain a special satisfaction from knowing that they are supporting the team members in a special way. Another hard-working organization is the student of the month committee. This group meets twice a month-once to choose the Medina student of the month, and another time to choose the county student of the month. At the county meeting, the Medina committee meets at the Joint Vocational School with students from other area schools. Mrs. Dorothy Elrick serves as the faculty adviser. Her responsi¬ bility is to offer a faculty point of view in the selection of the student of the month. Another active group is the Home Ec. club. This organization holds many interesting activities such as field trips and a mother-daughter banquet. In order to fund these activities, the group sold cupcakes for Valentine’s Day and popcorn balls at Christmas. In between selling, Home Ec. Club remained active by serving refreshments at the office for older adults and for the people from NCA. Officers this year were president Donna Payne, vice president Donna Galish, secretary- treasurer Kim Leckie, publicity directors Laura Swain and Lisa Argiry and points chairman Tracy Schwandt. By being involved, these groups benefit the entire school. They help to enrich three of the most important aspects of high school — athletic, academic and social life. In doing so, they make high school more enjoyable and diverse. Wm Susan Hoffman enjoys a cookie at the Home Ec club reception for the people from the NCA.
