FFA says yes TO LIFE Leadership, initiative and the love of the land and animals are just some of the traits of an FFA member. F.F.A. is more than just farming. It covers the areas of ag- riculture, sales and service, ag- riculture mechanics, agriculture products, agricultural resources, forestry and horticulture. In the land lab students par- ticipate in hands-on experiences. They grow flowers and veget- ables, raise rabbits and swine, and learn to live off the land. By becoming involved in FFA, students find opportunities to make friends, earn awards and to be a part of the largest youth or- ganization in the world.

Crazy about COMPUTER WRITING The Computer Writing Club E was established to further en- hance students computer skills and capabilities. During the hour that the club meets, Dr. Potter, club advisor, teaches basic com- puter skills in the areas of com- puter art and computer writing. The students make greeting cards, banners, and stationary while they become computer proficient. The computer has become such a vital part of our technol- ogy over the past ten years. Com- puters are replacing the typewrit- er in both home and in the work force, and toys are now com- puterized. The knowledge of the computer is important, more so today than ever before. While the Computer Writing Club has a small membership at the present time, students in all grade levels are invited to join. The club meets on Mondays at 3:30. Do not be intimidated, they are easy to work with and fun too. Computer Writing T 37

The Red Knights are HISTORY BUFFS Mr. Anderson sponsors the so- cial studies club, The Red Knights. The members of the club have a sincere interest in Amer- ican History and the law. Activ- ities include going on field trips to the courthouse, police stations, museums and Epcot Center. In this organization the Red Knight student will be exposed to the happenings in our society, and have the opportunity to ven- ture into the world of social studies. Quick Minded QUIZZERS Five of our school's brightest students are chosen each year to represent SHMS in the Quiz Bowl competition. The Quiz Bowl is very similar to High Q and Col- lege Bowl. The team competes against other middle schools in the Economics Fair. Students se- lect and answer questions in the areas of math, science, language arts and social studies. The preliminary round is held in February, but the team prac- tices every Thursday morning from November through Febru: ary. Mrs. Rice, the Quiz Bowl coach, will use practice questions from previous competitions. The experience of being on a Quiz Bowl team helps the stu- dents gain self confidence, and is a good preparation for high school. Red Knights and Quiz Bowl T 39
