We try to apply what we've learned and make it active, states Mrs. Esther Arrasmith, Junior Statesmen's Jr. S. Studies State faculty advisor. Aside from Mrs. Arrasmith and Mrs. Molly Radke, the club's main- stays are its officers: Presi- dent Bobby Birch, Vice- President Pam Brunk, His- torian Bonnie Shantry, and Treasurer Carter Bently. Junior Statesmen's one prob- lem centers around Carter's department: the treasury. They have only one money making project and that is their cookie sales. Mrs. Arra- smith feels, We should be allowed to have activities to raise funds. As it stands now, whenever the club's twenty members need to spend monev it comes out of their own pockets. I don't think a mem- ber of Junior Statesmen should be eliminated from an activity because they don't have the money, says Mrs. Arrasmith. Money and learning are also the major concerns of the Totem Investment Fund. TIF gives seniors taking contem- porary problems and econo- mics, and faculty members the opportunity to make some TIF Plays Stock Market cash. However, the purpose of this organization is 'to teach students about private invest- ment. TIF is a mock corpora- tion: stocks are sold, stock holder's meetings are held, a board of directors is elected, the board elects corporation officers, corporation funds are invested after careful in- vestigation, a corporation tax is paid to the A.S.B., and stock holders receive dividends. No Honor Society unnecessary risks are taken with the invested money. Play- ing conservatively seems to be one of the traits of their faculty advisor, Mr. Howard Schmidt. If asked about this year's divi- dends the most binding state- ment he'll make is, It looks like we are going to have a good year . . . Chairman of the board, Bill Todd is making sure that TIF lives up to its fine reputation because, HTIF has never failed to pay a dividend. On the surface it appears that these organizations are unlike one another because the things their members do are differ- ent. However, all these clubs, societies, and organizations perform a necessary function, according to Mrs. Jeff Mohn's seventh period sociology class: They provide the per- sons involved with security, recognition and identity. It is necessary for a person to have these things in order to think of himself as some- body, since Everybody needs to be somebodyi'

Cries of this and less printable lines were voiced at the beginning of the 1966-67 school year, the second year of quarterlies. Working under a handicap of student controversy and a lack of enough money to actually pay for the production of the book, the staff thought of ways to raise the additional money. The main problem was to pacify the hard-cover maniac. This was done with a design and the word THUNDERBIRD on a red and black binder. The binder has four wires, one of which is put through the middle of each quarterly to make the books fit it. When the first book came out with the binder, the card-cover complaints were minimized. This years quarterlies were filled with new additions. Among them were the articles on Modern Dance, the exchange student and the home economics infantry Problem: lack of funds The other problem. lack of funds, was caused by the binder and hasn't been solved yet. The four magazines themselves cost over S5 .00 and the binders cost is 51.25. Each student only paid 55.00 so the staff has to make up the difference. A dance was held, dozens of doughnuts and gallons of ice cream were sold. but the staff still didn't make enough to pay for the new improved version of the quarterlies. The students on the THUNDERBIRD staff, under the leader- ship of Editor Bruce Laing. Managing Editor Mary Peterson. and their Advisor Mrs. Margaret Bates. did all this to give the stu- dents of Sammamish an informatiave and thought-provoking book.
