When the bell rings Members get 'happiness' bonus from helping others through various club projects hen it came to helping others, organizations such as Key Club, Y- Teens, and Young Life offered boundless opportunities, and in the process, members got a bonus. For happiness and helping others are synonymous. Key Club projects were a case in point. While the 102-member club sponsored everything from a calendar sale to a Christmas party, their president, senior jim Salmon, called working with handicapped children their most important achievement. ln October about 10 of us helped out with the Kiwanis Small Fry Circus at Barton Coliseum, he said. Our job was to hand out candy and help the kids find their seats. Some of the kids seemed scared at first, he added. But when we gave them the candy they smiled real big, and it really made us feel good. The Z5-member Y-Teens Chapter also stressed service and community involvement. Their president, Cvina Fowler, said that the projects were rewarding. A special project was our Christmas visit with some elderly peoplef' she said. The people don't have a lot of company, and we wanted them to feel loved at Christmas. They seemed glad to see us. It was really rewarding to me. Fellowship was a bonus too. From Young Life's trip to snow camp, to Y-Teens' Christmas tea, to Key Club's regional convention, members served the community and collected a year full of good times too. - By Christy Hicks GETTIN' IT STRAIGHT - junior Cathy Hedgecock speaks to the sophomores at the sophomore orientation.

Student Council's work, which was predominantly school oriented, ranged from sponsoring a know- ledge clinic at the North Little Rock Boys' Club, to landscaping the school campus, to forming a Spirit Advisory Committee. President Pam White called the latter an important achievement. The Spirit Advisory Commit- tee represents a wide range of student organizations, she said, and through it numerous ideas have been submitted for pep assemblies and other school func- tions. While Student Council was relatively small - only 33 members - it represented the entire student body, Pam said. All classes are represented, and the meetings are open, she said. We want the student body to attend so they'll know everything about what their Student Council is doing. Pam called the Council a motivated, super group of kids. Everyone is so energetic and eager that they make me want to ,work harder too, she said. While Pam said she found working with the Council to be even better than she had expected, she suggested changes that might improve its efficiency. I would like to see at least the office of secretary, and possibly the vice president, be opened up to juniors as well as seniors,'l she said. This would give more people a chance to run for office, and it would allow juniors to see if they like being officers. lf they do, it would give them experience for their senior year. - By Chris Cvlass . ,....s k.-: . ..
