lnter-Racial Council Brings Races Closer Starting a Big Brother Program was a main project of Human Relations Council. This program involved stu- dents who were suspended form school. These students were given guidance by older students who volunteered. A talent show was also held as a project of Human Relations and lnter-Racial Council. This show had teach- ers, parents, and students participating in it. The money which was earned was given to Sunland Hospital. The Councils also raised money through bottle drives and collecting paper for recycling. Another activi- ty was tutoring and otherwise helping students in lower grades who were falling behind in their courses. Going to different campuses in Tallahassee was a pro- ject which was made up towards the end ofthe year. A and Nl University was the main setting. At this campus the members helped with the National Leadership Train- ing Program. On campus they talked with several stu- dents on this subject, and asked them how it helped.

Inter-Club Council Coordinates Activities Coordinating activities and projects of all school clubs was the main purpose of Inter-Club Council, one of the three branches of Student Government. Operating under a constitution set up last year, ICC collected dues from all clubs to help finance activities of the group. All activities had to be approved by ICC and then by the administration. After this procedure, the activity was placed officially on the school calendar.

Activettes Help Housing Project Children Activettes decided to do something different from the past three years. Instead of adopting a few children, they decided to try to help many children living in the Tallahassee housing projects. They gave the children par- ties and played games with them. They also chose a Miss Activette and attendants. These girls were chosen on the basis of their participation in the club. The girls were featured in the Homecoming Parade. The members also were in the parade, dressed as football players and Pep Club members. President Terris Spradley rode on a car. As money-making projects Activettes sold bubble gum for all of the varsity football games. They also had bake sales, car washes, and the annual Talent Show. Instead of recruiting freshmen at the beginning of the year as they had done in past years, they decided to select members in the spring only. Activettes took spirit everywhere they went. They sat together at pep rallies and at the basketball games. Acti- vettes also gave a ball for past and present members to reunite. Mrs. Frances Stallworth was the Club's sponsor again this year. vqg 'i'l' Terris Spradley rides in the Homecoming parade with Dianne Crump and Emma White who pose as football players. -,,..... if . -e' Carolyn johnson, Miss Activette, and her attendants, Mindi Keir- elected by their fellow club members to reign for the 7972- 73 nan and Tequila Bryant, pose for a picture just after they were gchoglyegr,
