They split time between school, work The song 'Makin' lt , describes exactly what members of the FHA! HERO organization were doing. They were managing their time between school and work. FHA!!-IERO is derived from the Home Economics Cooperative Education program, which allowed stu- dents to attend school halt a day and work halt a day. Critter bells and stuffed animals were sold in order to earn money to attend the organization's state meeting, and sponsor an employers' banquet. Also, during the Christmas season they partic- ipated in the Toys for Tots program. Often a reason for not turning in an assignment could have been, Katie, at the day care center ate it, or I thought it was a napkin and gave it to a cus- tomer. We sometimes cannot accom- plish everything in one day because of lack ot time, but these students were makin' it. Top: Working at Early Lifehood Center keeps sen- ior Carla Graves busy.

reach out community. lt was developed because there were not any black teachers on campus, and this way the students had someone to talk to if they had any prob- lems. Although there were not any black teachers, members of the Afro American met every Thursday with Joe Lee Johnson to discuss their problems. He was like a father to them, because he had been meeting and talking with them ever since middle school. He wanted them to feel like they had someone to turn to it things just didn't go right. We feel that we aren't given an equal opportunity by the student body. All we want is to prove ourselves and be given a chance to be as important as any other student in the school, To prove this we worked toward going to Houston, Theresa Jackson, senior Afro American explained. Seniors in the Afro American Club took the club more seriously than the under- classmen but everyone expressed hisfher views on any subject matter, and was considered special and unique.
