Belonging to clubs is BEING INVOLVED Trying to figure out whether or not to get involved with extra- curricular activities is a difficult decision for middle school stu- dents. Unlike the high school stu- dents, middle school students must be concerned about trans- portation home after the activity. Few clubs meet after school how- ever, as many of the organiza- tions meet during a class period and are part of the curriculum. Whether it was in school or after school these clubs and or- ganizations had good par- ticipation from a number of SHMS students. This year the Quiz Bowl team was included in the clubs for students to become in- volved. Headed by Mrs. Rice, stu- dents worked diligently on all as- pects of Social Studies in preparation for the Quiz Bowl which is held in February. At this time SHMS students compete against other middle school stu- dents around the county for the honor of winning first place in the Quiz Bowl middle school di- vision. The National Junior Honor So- ciety gained a new sponsor this year, Mrs. Caldwell. Getting a jump on the new school year, Iunior Honor Society students were at the school during pre- school days for teachers, lending assistance whenever needed. Im- mediately rolling into the fall they sponsored a dance and be- gan tutoring students in the academic areas. These students actual- ly reactivated the school store. The Year- book and Newspaper staff had their usual af- ter school and morning meetings in prepara- tion for meeting their deadline. Last year I thought it was going to be easy working on the yearbook, but meeting deadlines was very hard, said Meg Helmholtz year- book staff member. .Clubs help to keep students organized, and as- sisted in teaching them to get along with others. The main things that clubs offered was fun and knowledge in students, spare time. Clubs and Organizations T 25
