I don't care what club it is. It's members are all motivated by the same needs. Everybody needs to be somebody, ac- cording to Mr. Val Foubert, psychology teacher. Samma- mish clubs exist because stu- dents gain so much from belonging to them. Some club members gain self-satisfaction from helping others. Others gain a sense of significance by joining certain organizations. However. all club members gain one thing: a sense of belonging to a group of people. Besides the psychological benefitsclubmembersgetfrom belonging to their organiza- tions, the whole student body gains. Many clubs promote school spirit to give Samma- mish unity by supporting ath- letic events. The Hpep posters around school telling students about sports events are the products of Totem Tae. Shield members set up the gym so the student body can watch the Letterman play other schools. The Pep Staffs cheer- ing inspires us to stand behind the team. The Drill Team en- tertains the crowd at half- time and Signets take tickets at the door. Shield Cleans Up When you are driving to a Sammamish game a boy in a yellow rain slicker appears in the parking lot shining a flash- light in your direction. You roll down the window to see what he wants, as the cold rain blows into your face. The boy with the flashlight says Park here. You wonder, f'What makes a boy join Shield?,' That's a very good question. replied Mr. Dick Jenkins. faculty advisor. They probably have fewer rewards with their hours of standing in miserably cold rain and snow than other service organiza- 24 lubs: Everybod tions. Shield's 58 members joined because they have the one necessary requirement: A strong desire to offera service. The tasks of arranging the cafeteria for special produc- tions. setting up the gym for games and assemblies. and parking cars belong to Shield. At their infrequent meetings the officers preside: President Doug Allen, Vice-President Warren Daizey, and Treasurer Mike Barrett. Mainly they appoint squad leaders. set committees. and organize funds. according to Shield member. Don Phipps. Mr. Jenkins believes that this group, composed mostly of sophomores is 'fone of the best groups Sammamish has ever had. There is no club apathy whatsoever! The money made from their one sock hop is to replace equip- ment needed at school. When they announce a meeting Mr. Jenkins is sure they will 'fgo ahead and do what's got to be done. so he walks away. just Signets,Totem Tae Color Girls Spring as you are doing now to your safely parked car. You dash toward the gym door where a girl in a red blazer is waiting to inspect your A.S.B. card. A thought pops into your mind as you reach the gym door: Why don't more girls join Signets. They get to wear nice blazers and the girls seem pretty popular. If you've had these thoughts, DON'T TRY TO JOIN! These girls get weeded out. The Signet feels like one newly admitted Jun- ior: f'Learning is taking. taking. taking. taking! Finally you feel you've got to give something back. In order to determine which girls are prepared to give something back, and which girls don't like having to Totem Tae Signet Color Me Spring work party. X W . Q., 4 , ,, .M .
