It kept the students involved in the Mexicanos Estudiantes Chicano de Aztlan pro- gram, working towards their goal. Concession stands were one of many ways MECHA raised money. Other ways included a booth for club week, and car washes almost every month. The purpose of MECHA is to unite all Latin American students with their cultures, explained Martha Wells, president. I wanted to help all Latin American students get involved, which they really wanted to do, and I ' m glad. The club has really grown this year, it has almost doubled in size which shows how much the students of our school really do care, she contin- ued. Black Student Union was also involved with the students ' cultures. BSU raised money to assist stu- dents wishing to be involved with black cultural events. Among the events planned for BSU mem- bers this year were performances during Black His- tory month, candy sales and even a fashion show. It helped the students learn about themselves as Tra- cy Edwards concluded Being in BSU for the past four years has taught me a lot. Especially about the studies and cultures of black people. It has also helped me to learn about myself. So if you were a student who wanted to be a part of a club, and you felt the need to learn about your culture, these clubs were designed for you.. -9 Going over financial records is Lupita Guiza.
