The year started with the arrival of two exchange students. Fabian Amtenbrink, from West Germa- ny, was active in track and cross-country and went to state and helped the boys to a second place victory. Sharyn Bray, from Australia, was very active in AFS, forensics, participated in the mock wedding and helped with the school play, ,tThe Curious Savage. AFS also hosted several get-togethers for club members such as pizza parties, going out on the Plaza and swim parties at the Pleasant Hill Pool. However, one of the biggest projects 01' AFS was co-hosting the Winterwarming Dance with the Foreign Language Club. Club president, Christy York, commented, nThe dance was successful and it looked like everyone had a lot of fun once the band got playing? They hired a live band called ttAmnes- tyft and the dance theme was, ttAs Long As We Believe. It was held after the boys last home varsity game against OiHara. Foreign Language Club participated in Foreign Language Week and field trips. In December they visited the Guadalupe Center, a day care center for children. They brought gifts and candy for the chil- dren and all who participated found it an enjoyable experience. FLC president, Debbie Neidlinger, commented, tiltis real- ly a neat experience to go and give under privileged children a party and Christmas presents.

President of the club is Donna Wilson, vice president is Missy Pennington, secretary is Tracy Follett, treasurer is Tammy Tiller and Stu-Co representative is Suzie Bloodworth. The a club had a very successful year. They began the year by filling disaster bags with pencils, soap, washclothes, toothbrushes, fun pads and crayons for the American Red Cross. In J anuary, they took new and used toys to Children,s Mercy Hospital. In February, they helped the immuniza- tion clinic by giving shots to the students that needed them. In April, they sponsored a CPR class and a bloodmobile. Although they didnit collect as many pints of blood as in previous years, they did get 85 pints. J unior, Missy Pennington and vice presi- dent of the Red Cross Club said, NI think the disaster bags was the best project we did this year? While the Red Cross Club was busy col- , lecting blood for the community, Ray-Peds SADD chapter was trying to diminish the need for blood. Ray-Pecis SADD chapter has approxi- mately 75 members. The chairperson is senior, Sonia Mansfield, co-chairperson is junior, Mary OiNeil, junior representative is Kathy Groh, sophomore representative is Tracy Giammatteo and freshman repre- sentative is Melanie Richter. In February, during SADD WEEK, the club sponsored a movie, Kevin,s Story and gave out bubble gum with the SADD logo on it. To help raise money for the club, mem- bers worked in concession stands through- out the year. With the money they raised, they gave SADD keychains to the students enrolled in Drivers Ed. , In April, they worked along with the jun- ior class to warn people about driving drunk on Prom night. A logo, designed by art teacher J .J . Higgins was printed by the Cass County Publishing Co. and then given to local florists to put inside of the corsage and boutonniere boxes. At the end of the school year, the club sponsored an essay contest along with the Raymore Lions Club. The theme of the es- a say was itReal friends donit let friends drive drunk. First prize was $50 and a plaque, second prize was $25 and a plaque and third prize was $15 and a plaque. RED CROSS, x bk xx WWW x ' R m . W ' ' a Eek ix xsxx .x mm X vs: rxx .?
