60 Clubs have helped me gain the most from school . senior Tricia Adams Students Achieve More From Clubs Many students tried to achieve the most out of the school year. An academi- cally-minded person tried for the best and the highest scores in everything. For those who wanted to get more out of a subject than just the subject itself, special interest clubs were available. Clubs son of give you something to do in between tests and dates, said junior Lisa Pamplin. ' 'You also get to meet new friends that way. Those students especial- ly interested in history joined the club called Close-up. The club's main goal was a week-long trip to the nation's capitol for a firsthand glance at our government and its workings. Since the cost of the trip started at 5800, students participated in several he ,H . e ff ' S 1 f K v , ' 1 s -3 K , , if is 5' K - 't -as s . t -, i Q 122 ig fundraisers to raise the money. We sold movie passes, took outside donations and showed a movie to the students to raise the money to go, said senior Sherry Coberly. After raising the appro- priate funds and arriving in Washington D.C., the students took tours of the capitol building, the White House, the senate cham- bers and several other places of interest. My favorite part of the trip were the demonstrators and the street vendors, said junior Tracey Besse. The city is so much different than Oklahoma. That's what caught my eye. Other achievements that dealt with history or gov- emment was the selection of the Boys and Girls State delegates. Students were chosen on the basis of grades, extracurricular activities, teacher appro- vals and the student's inter- est in govemment. Students attended a week-long seminar learn- ing about the govemment and its workings. The American Legion was the sponsor of eleven boys and seven girls. I wanted to go because I thought it would be fun to learn about the different jobs and duties our political leaders have, said junior David Bateshansky. Project Research, the science club headed by Mr. Jimmy Pigg, sponsored several weekend trips to such places as Pine Creek State Park and the Illinois River. Another valuable project, students taught their younger counterparts at the elementary outdoor school at Lexington. Organizations ater Works.
