She feels extra- curricular activities are a very im- portant part in schools. Ulf it weren't for the activities, I pro- bably would have a bad attitude towards school. Kari was involv- ed with the French Club, Prayer Group, Speech Team, Thespians, Student Council and Madrigals of which she is now president. A lot of her time is devoted to Madrigals. llThis group has given me many happy memories and friendships. ln addition her major hobby is music, in which she has taken private lessons for five has been a Madrigal singer this year. His job and school com- mitments keep him very busy, but in his free time he likes building model planes and cars, bowling, going to the movies and just being with friends.

This is some advice given by senior Marsha Eaglin. She tries to get a lot of people involved in school activities because it's hard for just a small group of students and teachers to try and make this school better than it is. Marsha is the President of the Senior Ad- visory Board and also President of Student Council. Student Council not only plans school activities but years. Last summer Kari spent her vacation in a somewhat unor- dinary way. She traveled to France where she lived with a French family. She was able to learn and be a part of the French culture first handedly. lt also im- proved my conversational French. Next year Kari plans to attend a four year college, majoring in Political Science and French. llMy ultimate goal is to have a career with the State Department which perhaps means some kind of in- ternational relations or foreign service. also helps with community pro- jects such as the annual blood drive, canned food drive, and voters registration. llEvery other Monday night Marsha's voice can be heard on Triton radio station WRRC.
