Recently formed, this club is made up of students who are interested in the career of teaching. During the course of the year, several projects were initiated to show teachers that they were appreciated and respected. At the beginning of the year, these future teachers presented new teachers with a basket of assorted materials that would aid them during the school year. At this time the students helped with bulletin boards and various other tasks associ- ated with the beginning of school. They also gave each teacher a name tag shaped in a way to symbolize the teacher's subject area. Another project the club undertook was a humorous newsletter with various aids to use when the teacher was tired or burned out from the rigors of teaching. During the school year several speakers talked the group to explain various aspects of teaching. One particul- ary interesting gueat speaker was Mrs. Pam Stanescu, the 1988 Teacher of the Year for Houston County. She spoke on the importance of teachers in the lives of young people. Her inspiring speech was enjoyed by both the sponsors and club members. The club is open to any student who is interested in pursuing a career in the teaching field.

Jr. Civitan The Junior Civitan is an active part of community projects. Some of the Junior Civ- itan’s services include providing clothing for the Veteran’s Hospital, visiting the children’s ward at the hospital, and helping out with the Special Olympics each year. Not only have the Junior Civitan’s duties proven to be worth- while, these duties have also proven to be fun activities for the members. In the past, some Junior Civitan members have participated in a Skate-a-thon in order to raise money for different organizations. This year some Junior Civitan members went bowling with special education students as a service project. They also attended a convention at Jekyll Island. The club spent a weekend this spring at the Civitan Officers (bottom row from left to right) Robin Harbin, Jill Moore, Samantha Bozeman (top row from left to right) annual convention. The club is sponsored by La'Wanna Whitehead, Chad Gowan Mr. Gary Howard.

HISTORY CLUB HISTORY CLUB The NHS History Club has been going strong for seven years now. The members of the club strive to make history a big part of their lives. Its members visited Hawkinsville this past year to see Dukakis give an election speech. Going to Hawkinsville was an opportunity of a life- time for many of the clubs members. The club also sponsored a mock election this year. To have a part in the election the students had to try out in front if three judges. The three judges were Mr.Rogers, Mrs.Combs and Mr.Boyd.The mock election was a great suc- cess. During February, which is Black History month, the club highlighted special moments in Black History each day over the intercom. The club also highlighted special moments such as the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Under the direction fo Mrs. Newberry and through the excellent work of its members, the history club has been capable of making 1988-89 an excellent year. The club hopes to keep history a big part of everyone's life. The history club meets every Tuesday at break in room 53.
