CLUBS CLEAN UP n addition to the Octagon Club that washed activity buses, sev- eral clubs found a way to improve the looks of things around school. Club members worked after school and on teacher workdays to clear up and replant the central courtyard. Each group had an area to work with and decided on and bought the plants they used. Industrial Arts students built attractive borders with logs to separate the planting areas from the walkways. Using the advice and actual plants of some teachers, by the time cold weather arrived, new trees, shrubs and perennial plants were in the ground. The organizations worked on many other service oriented projects during the year, but most who participated in the courtyard cleanup felt good about the liv- ing results of their efforts. :if-i rs.-Q, QW 64 X Organizations Voting and volunteering are the main agenda items during most club meetings.

Discussion of activities Octago OCTAGON CLUB Q... A club that has potential. an you imagine riding around in a dirty bus with words like wash me and back off stenciled in the dirt? Well, theOctagon club did you a favor. In October they took time out of their busy after- noon schedules to wash the activity buses so you could ride to ball games and on trips without the embarrassment of slang remarks written all over it. Do you remember the twisted, dead and ugly plants in the courtyard? Thanks to the Octagon Club tin conjunc- tion with other school clubsj the ugly courtyard is now lush greenery that will invite you to be in the presence of it on a warm sunny spring day. When Regina Perry was asked what was the best thing about the club she stated, So far this year the Octagon Club has enhanced my desire to beautify my school and its sur- roundings. l hope my attitude rubs off on more students so our school can be a showcase to the public. The Octagon Club could be for you if you like improving your surroundings and feeling good about yourself. Chad Cook took time out to say I feel the Octagon Club really has the potential to become one of the best clubs in the school. All it will take is more participation from its mem- bers. Amy Hammond plans for future activities.
