Burger Bash .... Mud Bowl . . . Canada Man Hunt . . . Haunted House . . . Disney World . . . Battle of the Bods . . . Rafting . . . what better way is ther to get away from homework? Campus Life provides activities designed to amuse and entertain all who attend. The year started with a mammoth Mud Bowl and Burger Bash, where Menchville, having the largest turnout, won a first place trophy. At the annual Scream in the Dark , eager students helped paint, build, apply make-up, and finally took on Werewolf. Hundreds of students ventured to Canada and Florida during Christmas and Spring breaks. The school year wound up with a giant Battle of the Bods , giving aall participants an outlet to their frustrations. ■ Besides these special events, Ike Newingham, Director of Campus Life, led meetings each week at various homes. Such topics as drugs, drinking, and dating were discussed and opinions from every- one were welcomed. So this is Campus Life— good times, singing, sharing, answers to problems, people who care, hope for tomorrow.

COORDINATORS Ironing out conflicts and or- ganizing dates of activities were the key objectives of the newly- formed Student Affairs Committee. Through the SAC, clubs were able to plan and carry through projects. They saw to it that no clubs duplicated money-raising activi- ties. The SAC sponsored a co- operative dance to which all clubs pooled their funds and shared in its profits. Mr. Richard Carter evaluated the SAC as follows: This organization gives the students an opportunity to take part in decision-making policies. It has been quite success- ful, but there is a need for more involvement from some of the smaller organizations here at MHS. Sleepy club representatives attend early- morning meetings. Chairman, Teri Seay, addresses the SAC. Mr. Richard Carter, sponsor, and representatives from several or the active clubs in the school. twenty-eight s c

TULIPS AND TRAILS A study of scientific careers and ecology-orientated activities dominated the year for Science Club members. Speakers ranged from a representative of the Ameri- can Heart Association, to a visit from the supervisor of the city. Activities were generally con- cerned with ecology, and included the planting of tulip bulbs in front of the school. The establishment of a nature trail behind the school was another Science Club achievement. What has Ed Dadez discovered— buried treasure or a home for a tulip? Brian Cardwell and Ben Rodrigo intensely involved in the cultivation of tulip bulbs.
