They tell the sched- ules for sports events, meeting days for clubs, and plans for special events. Because of this, the members of KSTS take their job very seriously. One new idea added this year was to play music at the beginning of the announcements. President Cynthia Gomez likes this new concept. I think music is a creative way to wake up students and make them listen to the announcements. Another addition to the announce- ments this year was the selection of Student of the Month.” Each month, a student would be chosen in order to acknowledge his efforts. The club officers this year were President Cynthia Gomez, Vice President Geoff Keller, and Secre- tary-Treasurer Heather Hyashi. Cyn- thia commented, This year's club is more enthusiastic. We have more members this year and more ideas. Every member felt that this was ap- parent in the way the announce- ments were presented. By Shelley Woods. On the air.

LEADING The Way For Others I „ he Future Business Lead- j I ers of America created a i I new image on campus. To | start with, they decided to get more members involved. At Club Day, returning FBLA members sold pizza to encourage member- ship. The event was successful, and by November the club had more than twice as many members as they had in previous years. With the help of adviser Ella Bry- ant, the club was organized and the officers were elected. The officers in- cluded returning President Shelley Woods, Vice President Janet Wang, Secretary Helen Chiang, Treasurer June Honma, Reporter Kalinda Ukanwa, Parliamentarian Lelisa Wolters and Fundraiser Chairman Jon Fernandez-Calub. The biggest addition to the club this year was FBLA's Christmas for the Homeless. The project was cre- ated by Shelley Woods with the help of Mrs. Bryant, although every mem- ber put in much time and effort. Fly- ers and posters were displayed around campus, speeches were giv- en in the social studies classes, and donations were collected and taken to the homeless. The club collected clothes, canned food, and toys from students Keeping Track. Treasurer June Honma re- cords the dues that were collected at a FBLA meeting. Because FBLA is a business club, records of all transactions are important. The responsibility ol being treasurer is good experience for me and I enjoy it. ex- plained June.

Mrs. Bryant commented, I was really impressed with the par- ticipation of the entire student body. We had over tv o truckloads of dona- tions.” Other activities planned in FBLA were the Section and State Business Competitions. The members were very enthusiastic about the changes and additions to the club this year. I think it's important for a club to serve the community, stated Terri Lin. Next year, the club plans to continue leading the way in community ser- vice and business success. By Shel- ley Woods and Terri Lin. Tho Loaders. Front row: Shim Patel, Robert Woo, Vi Truong.

PRIDE IN THEIR WORK. French Club Advisor Phuong Cong. Danny Cong and Andrew leong pose by their recreation of the Eiffel Tower to be used in the homecoming parade. The float took a long time to finish but 1 think it came out pretty good. boasted Andrew. Photo provided by Phuong Cong. BUILDING Up to Something I s this Paris? What's the Eiffel I'W Tower doing at our homecoming I I game? The French Club enter- | tained the crowd with their recon- struction of the landmark during the homecoming football game. The home- coming float was only one of the many activities which the french club was in- volved in. During the holidays mem- bers of the club decorated a tree as part of the Christmas in the Park display downtown. The club's fund raisers consisted of candy sales throughout the year and the selling of croissants on International Day. The club has up to ten candy sales but members say the effort pays for it- self. ‘T love the club for all the privileges it has but we have to sell a lot of candy.” explained Christine Wang. The end of the year is a busy yet fun time for members. The club goes to Great America in the spring and, later in the year, a barbeque picnic is given at Vasona Park. The final activity of rec- ognition for members is a French din- ner given in their honor. The dinners take place at various restaurants de- pending on their current french class level, with French IV eating at the most extravagant and each class below at a slightly less expensive bistro. Being a member of the French Club has many privileges but it requires a lot of participation and it is difficult to be- come a member. By Aaron Francis. DOING HIS PART. Vice President Danny Cong does his part for the club by slopping to sell a box of candy during lunch. The club has many candy sales throughout the year and every member is required to sell their share of the merchandise. Even though I'm vice president I still have to do my part as a member. stated Danny. Photo by Aaron Francis. ALL TOGETHER NOW. After finishing a dub luncheon, Phuong Cong gets everyone together for a memorable shot. Individual names are not available do to the extensive size of the club. Michele Huitnc stated.
