1-x..i'N,1 if 1 -V' A collection of NS products, as viewed by artist Lori Somkins The person selling candy is always popular The sales of candy is popular throughout the year, throughout the halls, as demonstrated by Dave Owens, Shelly Webb, and Sue Larssen. eychains, Christmas orna- ments, Draft Dodgers , Iightbulbs, and albums were some of the more unconventional items sold this year by school organi- zations, in what could have been the largest fund-raising year ever at North Scott. Popcorn, shirts, buttons, and sock- hop tickets, helped pay for field trips, a juke box, trips to Washington, D.C., and the Bachelor Capture dance. Can- dy bars sold by students in FCA and weight training helped pay for guest speakers and a new neck machine. Fund-raising reached its peak first quarter, when the majority of clubs held fund-raising drives, especially candy sales. Still, some teachers com- plained when at least five groups were selling products at the same time dur- ing the weeks before Christmas. According to Mr. Wood, Director of Student Affairs, this year's fund-raising 2 HCJCUCTION had gotten entirely out of hand and next year there will have to be some major changes . From buttons to wrapping paper, this is a glossary of articles that North Scott students tried to sell this year. N UTTONS: Student Congress sold the Homecoming buttons with Gwen Moore's rendition of Pound the Hounds for 75 cents. Pep club sold football pins which consisted of a plastic flag and two ribbons. The pins also cost 75 cents. ANDY: Lancer Productions and FCA sold chocalate mind Truffles and FCA sold Katy-dids , caramel covered pecan clusters, for two dollars a box. Students could buy sourballs twith or without the candy dishj and suckers left over from last year's choir sale for two dollars. The junior class sold boxes of M St tvi's for fifty cents. CANDY BARS: Probably the most successful selling item, the Bike brand candy bars were sold by at least one student in nearly every class. Lancer Productions, Office Education, weight training and FCA sold the almond, caramel, crunch and new peanuts can- dy bars for 5013. CHEESE: Marching band sold bar- rels of Cheddar, Wine, Onion and Smoky cheese for 36.75, 5.75, and 4.50 before Christmas. CHRISTMAS ORANAMENTS. Band sold wooden, handmade orna- ments for 32.00 each. COOKIES and CAKES: Bakes sales are usually a common practice for NS clubs, but they were not too abundant this year. Spanish club held their annual bake sale to pay for For- eign Language Week. The senior class also sold chocolate chip and double fudge cookies for 50m. RAFT DODGERS Sold by the Junior Achievement company, the door animals could be placed in front of a door to keep the draft out. Mugs and napkin holders were also products of JA companies. RUIT: Oranges, apples, grape- fruit and were the bulk of the FFA annual fruit sale, which started be- fore Christmas. FFA also sold honey, sausage, and cheese. ATS: Cowboy hats were a fund- raiser as well as a spirit booster for Pep club early in the school year. The red felt Lancer hats sold for five dollars each. Student Congress sold stocking caps, as well as mittens and scarves, that have not been sold out during the past two years.

Sheila accepts her responsibility for her life and makes the most of it. She really cares about North Scott. I think Boise Schoonover is a neat kid because he does not seem to be influenced by peer group pressures or the faculty: his actions seem to come from creative thinking. Being able to express his unique thoughts openly gives him my vote for being a neat kid. I think Tracy Thumann, Ann Ha- mann, and Connie Hoist are neat kids also kind of fun and help keep things that way around school. I think Rachel Bohlmann is a neat kid because she knows how to behave like a ninth grader. Rachel is very con- scientious an ideal student. I think Tammy Hulson is a neat kid because she is very dependable, han- dles responsibility well, is always cheerful and personable, involved in many activities, holds a part-time job, and maintains a high grade point aver- age. An enjoyable, attractive person with a fun sense of humor. I think Mike Campana is a neat kid because he knows what school is about! Mike is a straight student in that he has a knowledge of how to learn. He works hard at what he does and is interested in other things such as sports and other hobbies. Mike is cour- teous at all times and seems to have friends everywhere. I think Tim Gockel is a neat kid because he says hello to me in the hallways. He helps me pick up equip- ment at the end of the period. He is friendly in class and is always ready and willing to do the activity we are planning for that day. I think Rod Moon is a neat kid be- cause, as a freshman, Rod has done exceptionally well in speech. He has THE MEAT KIJIEJJ because they are very polite, they work very hard, they are always cheerful and constantly put a smile on my face! I think Steve Mailen is a neat kid because he read David Copperfield. Anyone who reads a book that long has to be neat. I think Denise Scull is a neat kid because her smile always brings an air of joy to the classroom. She is a good student in several ways. She works hard to achieve her goals that are set very high. Her diversity of interests leads me to believe that she will be a success in any of her endeavors. I think Heath Hartwing is a neat kid because he is always polite and cour- teous. Heath starts out every morning with a good morning . I have yet seen a day when Heath doesn't smile. A classroom full of Heath Hartwigs would be an ideal class. I think Coleen Elwood and Julie Collins are neat kids because they dis- play good humor and charm. They are been the first North Scott freshman to bring home a trophy, and, so far this year, he has brought home TWO for his exceptional humorous interpretation. He works hard and has earned his rec- ognition. I think Deb Anderson is a neat kid because of her enthusiasm and caring personality. I have watched her in Jack 8r Jill take time to clown around with little kids just to make them happy. She is a warm personality who needs more recognition for the leadership she has provided for the school. She comes to class with a smile on her face and appears to enjoy school and life. I think Mel Schmid! is a neat kid because she is just sweet and pleasant to be around. She makes every effort to get along with others.

I think Belh Lange is a neat kid because she is an independent girl who sets high goals for herself and then works to achieve them. I think Jeff Rauch is a neat kid be- cause he is one of the most reliable kids l've ever worked with. He places duty and obligation to the group far above personal likes and dislikes. Jeff has the ability to think as an adult and enjoys using his mind to challenge those around him. I have never had a student who goes out of his way to be helpful to the extent that Jeff does. I think Joni Kuehl is a neat kid be- cause, in her quiet way, she is always UNSUIEJE involved, always supportive, and full of energy. Joni was a natural leader on the business crew of Fiddler on the Roof , helping behind the scenes to make it a success. She is actively in- volved in speech activities, as well as performing very well academically. I think Dann Elmegreen is a neat kid because he really tries his best in class. Instead of making excuses, he works at getting better. Dann doesn't take the easy way out like a lot of stu- dents. I think Jim Sutcliffe is a neat kid because he doesn't let the world around him effect what he thinks. He smiles a lot, which is a welcome sight to any teacher. I think Terri Becker is a neat kid because she is always willing to do jobs for work, workshop, other stu- dents, and teachers. She doesn't ex- pect to be given credit for this, but I feel she deserves a big thank you from all of us. Sf NEAT Kip
