ame change inspires more club interest In an effort to gain club interest, the Afro-American Club changed its name to Club Beat. We wanted a group that everyone could join, said club presi- dent Adrienne Gardner, junior. The club was sponsored by Joe Lee Johnson, a teacher at C.D. Fulkes Mid- dle School. Because of this, keeping the club together was difficult as it was hard for him to travel back and forth between the schools regularly. A greater reaction from the students, though, resulted in a higher interest in the club. Members were real en- thusiastic, commented Gardner. One special event for the club was a party held at the end of the school year to celebrate the year, new name, new ideas and a hope for a greater response the next year. Club Beat members Lisa Corona, Sharon Fowler, Sonia Needham, Miranda Rice, juniors, and Robert Williams, senior, make plans for fund ralsers.

In addition, they assisted with elementary school bilingual classes. It's in an elementary classroom situation where native Spanish speakers learn English and native English speakers learn Spanishf' said club sponsor Eloise Bouzari. The Valentine's Day fund raiser was the most exciting for the club as they sold 200 carnations without any ad- vance orders. The group also sold M 8a Mis later in the year. The trip to San Antonio is always the highlight of the yearf, commented Bouzari. The organization goes on these trips to have fun and trace parts of their own Mexican-American heritage. The club also sponsored a scholarship that was given at the end of the year to deserving seniors in order to help defer their college expenses. Juniors Diane Salazar, Veronica Guerra, Martha DeLeon and sophomore Lisa Hernandez talk while waiting for their meeting to begin. Members of the Mexican-American club wait for the meeting to come to order so that they may discuss their Valentine fund raiser.

rbara Graham, senior and editor-in-chief of the Dragon, helps staff amber Jennifer Emry, sophomore, design a layout. Layout design was prac- ed the first semester of the year. i df, .sf nv g Q fi' 6 ' Q. e 'F I Computer changes production Work Journalism includes a training class, two produc- tion classes and a number of independent study classes. Students produced both the newspaper and the yearbook. In the beginning class, students learned the basics for both advanced produc- tion classes. In independent study, students worked on various aspects of newspaper and yearbook production - developing and printing photographs, writing copy and practicing layout and design techniques. The big difference for the newspaper and yearbook staffs this year was that all copy, such as stories, headlines and captions were typed into an IBM-PC com- puter. The Spitfire was one of the first newspapers in the state to be typed in on a com- puter and transmitted by telephone to the printer. l'm excited about using the com- puter because it eliminates many of the mistakes we have had in the pastf' com- mented Mrs. Susan Koman- dosky, sponsor of both staffs. The yearbook was also done on computer, a change from previous years when all copy was done on a typewriter. The computer made the task of putting together the yearbook a great deal easier. Barbara Graham, senior and editor-in-chief of the Dragon, said, I like us- ing the computer, it makes things a lot more convenient and efficient. .3 L lf 5-Q If W 4 M New to the department, the IBM Personal Computer was beneficial to both the publications staffs.
