The 1096 Club is a group of students who rank in : top 10121 of the senior class. Co-sponsors of the 1b are Mr. Ron Harten and Mrs. Betty DiGesu, unselors. Mrs. DiGesu and Mr. Harten stress that two pur- ses of this organization are to give those students service in terms of college and an awareness of ues which pertain to preparation for higher ucation. Another purpose is recognition of those idents who have proven themselves academically. They believe another objective of the club is to 'culate information in a group setting to that level academic standing. The 10'Za Club originated from a project in a aduate level class at Arizona State University. r. Harten and Mrs. DiGesu attended this class d discovered that other high school counseling partments in the Phoenix area have used this idea zcessfully. wifi' if 4 1 ,W iWzAi1.17 Il! 1.

Students participate in mock government Last year seven Juniors were chosen to participate in Boys' and Girls' State. The American Legion sponsored 4 boys and the American Legion Aux- iliary sponsored 3 girls so that they could have the experience of learning how the government works firsthand. The boys who were chosen were Ken Gardiner, Dirk Johnson, Mark Spann and Tyler Rollins. The girls who participated were Vessa Mathus, Cheryl Mustic and Ann Marie Picerno. Boys' State took place at Northern Arizona University. The students were put into different cities and conducted elections and solved problems of cities in mock situations. The students ran elec- tions, campaigned for different offices and had town meetings. Girls' State, housed at the University of Arizona, participated in similar activities. To be chosen is an honor since the students learn about government by partaking in its processes. It also is a chance for the students to make new friends from other schools from the state. ,.,,,. . . , f .
