This year proved to be another success: ful year for the Anchor Club. The purpose of the club was to develop initiative, leader- ship, and personal integrity. The club’s motto, “Success and Service, Hand in Hand,’ exemplifies the will of each club member to help others in the community. The Anchor Club provided aid to the com: munity by organizing monthly visits to the nursing home. In December, a special visit was made to Hallmark Nursing Home to provide the elderly with Christmas gifts. At the beginning of the year, the Anchor Club elected new officers. On November 10, an intiation was held to induct all new officers and members. The formal initia- tion was held at the Flint Electric Building, yet the humor at the formal ceremony could not hold a candle to the laughter that was provoked at the initiations held at school. The new club intiates were forced to dress as grandmothers, as babies, and with their clothes inside out. Being a spec- tacle was not the only embarrassment the initiates went through. They were forced to parade through the lobby and put on a “fashion show” for the school at break. The Anchor Club met the first and third Tuesday of each month. Their meeting were held in room 16, for breakfast, or at one of the local nursing homes. Members of the club attended Freedom's Foundation convention at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The club also was present at the State Convention in Perry, GA A combination of all of the club’s activi- ties allowed its members to become more well-rounded and to serve others in the community as well as themselves. 1987-88 ANCHOR CLUB Front Row Kim Melvin Lisa Edge Bobby Murr Stacy Braddy Kim Schall Paula Hamilton Sondra Sawitski Back Row Stephanie Wood Jennifer Brown Monica Freeman Antuan Bibb Michelle Draughon Lashena Verrett Participating in the Homecom- ing parade is an annual event for the Anchor Club Molena Cox and Kim Melvin dis guise themselves as grandmoth ers as a part of initiations

A Classic. That is definitely a term to describe the Aquila Yearbook staff. Early last May plans for this book, which was to be an all-out 25 year anniversary blow-out, were begun. The first decision to be made was a theme. When “‘A Classic” was final- ly chosen, the staff began serious work on a product for the entire school and commu- nity. Some members of the staff attended a summer workshop with sponsor, Ms. Yon- gue. It was at this workshop that the staff members decided on a cover and basic page designs for the anniversary book. Because the number in fifth period class is limited a part time staff developed. This very dedicated group worked many days after school developing the classes section of the book, which exemplifies their talent. Some had to drop the class after first se mester, and were replaced by part time staff members. While the staff worked hard every day in class and many after- noons after school, there were Saturdays that some members of the staff sacrificed to spend the day at Northside doing those chores needed to meet deadlines. Mornings spent selling yearbooks in homerooms were part of the job. Rushing around trying to identify people in photographs, or grab- bing students and throwing them into can- did pictures were other responsibilities. The Aquila yearbook staff is truly a dedi- cated group. The yearbook was led by Edi- tor-in-chief, Regina Moore. Classes section editor, Amy Wilson was responsible for de- sign, features, and copy in the section. Clubs editor, Dee Dee Durden designed and edited this section. Editor of the events section, Michelle Newton did a fabulous job with creativeness and assignments. Lorey Williams had the most difficult sec- tion — faculty — yet she made it come alive. Sports editor was Krista Pouncy, who designed her section. One of the most important people on the staff was Tammy Aho, the business manager. When she transferred, Suzie Santos took these re- sponsibilities. Another special person on the staff was Paul Harkness, who was the “always on call’’ camera man. Paul was always willing to use his own personal time to take last minute shots. Debi Waterman gave much of her time to artwork and Wendy Jackson could always be counted on at the last minute. Each member of the staff gave all to make this special edition of the Aquila a success. The rewards felt were far beyond those of most projects at Northside. “‘The yearbook is a worthwhile project that teaches teamwork, goals and achieve- ment. said staff member, Kim Kovarvic. A dedicated staff member, Ja- landa Standard, helps Tammy Aho balance receipts At workshop during the sum- mer, Michelle Newton begins plans for a special yearbook very The section editors had a big job leading the staff. They are Lorey Williams, Krista Pouncy, Regina Moore, Amy Wilson, and Michelle Newton.
