small town IG SCHOO Organizations offer the opportunity to broaden skills, knowledge, interests Many students found time to join organizations to broaden tlieir knowledge in a particular area, to fulfill class requirements, or to simply have fun. 1 think it ' s important to expose the kids to different kinds of activities, Assistant Principal John Hewby said. Our interest is not just in educating kids, but in providing experiences which will help them to get along better in society. Many members of the student body chose to be a part of an organizational group. This showed that NCCHS had an active and energetic student body. Several big-school clubs interacted with the small town of New Castle. For example, the National Honor Society sponsored their annual toy drive and gave the donations to Westminster Community Center. In addition. Student Government headed the canned food drive that netted an all-time record number of cans from the NCCHS student body and the vocational students. I think the student body always react well, teacher Nancy Oakes said. A lot of times, they ' re encouraged by the enthusiasm of their instructors. Other organizations sponsored events for the students. To start with, several clubs planned post-game dances for students to enjoy themselves. Next, the foreign language clubs held foreign language week, capped off with a banquet open to all foreign language students. Finally, YAC held its annual Christmas buffet in December for senior citizens and students. For whatever reasons, students found an enjoyable time by joining and being an active member of an organizational group.

Language Clubs learn about our foreign friends and share the U.S. with them FORSCO, Spanish Honor So- ciety, and German Club contin- ued to raise interest in foreign cultures and to help exchange students fee! at home here in the United States. FORSCO membership ex- ploded this year as ninety peo- ple joined the group. Members worked together to make ex- change students Gersain Ostos (Columbia). Lucia dos Santos (Brazil), and Valerie Bissonette (Canada) feel at home. The dub had a Christmas party where each of these stu- dents told a little about how they celebrated Christmas at home. They also had a picnic in the spring. Spanish Honor Society mem- bers, initiated in the spring of 1986. had lots of fun in differ- ent Spanish-related activities. The members went to Chi ' s Chi ' s to eat, helped with the Christmas banquet, sung Span- ish carols at Christmas, and had a picnic in the spring. This year, the group also in- cluded exchange student Ger- sain Ostos. As a fourth-year student, he was in the same class as the other members. They thought it would be a good way to get to know him better and that it would be fun, said sponsor Barb Acosta. German Club opened its membership to freshman this year and consequently, it rose. As always the club helped out with the German Exchange stu- dents who come every year by helping them adapt and by rais- ing money for them. Also, the club averaged three to four activities per month. Some of these included Muhle tournaments, working conces- sion stands at games, trips to Ski World and to Indianapolis, pizza parties, breakfasts, Christmas parties, etc. We are the most active club in school, we are always doing something, said sponsor Dick Kinnaird. Through fun activities, fund raisers, and Chrysler High hos- pitality, these three language clubs helped the exchange stu- dents feel at home and helped themselves to more knowledge of the world we live in.
