Clubs rganizations perating blingingly Clubs Staff: Larry Richardson Jime Lineweaver Rick Meyer Two heads are better than one, and after all it ' s no fun being by yourself. Being a member of a club means working together with others to accomplish a set goal. Nothing could be more true about working together as shown through all the success the clubs of Richmond Hts. had. Whether it be the Drama Club ' s plays or the student councirs planned activities, or even the schoors two publications, nothing is ever done here by one person. Working together helps us learn to get along with each other also, and accomplish major goals.

Eight board spaces were given out in the early fall to aspiring soothsayers. They were allowed to pick pro football, college football and basketball games from the line in The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Records and per- centages were computed and weekly leaders were posted. Season records for the gamblers were nothing short of horrible. The lowlight of the year was a Random Selections chance pick that won nine straight games and won the season title. No money was involved, of course, but pride was at stake. No one wanted to get beat by Mr. Cosomi. said Rudl. M.H. The Prediction Club Band 125
