The Ecology Club is, without a doubt, the largest club in school possibly the largest in the Western Hemisphere. Why do people want to join the Ecology Club? What is it's tremendous appeal? Is it the club members' desire to clean up pollution here and around the world? Is it community pride, a desire to beautify Shawsville? Do they want to be part ofan ac- tive, useful club? Is it the magnetic leadership of their sponsor, Doc Zaronsky? Or does the fact that they get one day off from school influence them to join? The answer is all of the above, Of course, the one day off from school is a definite at- 46 traction. That one day is spent picking up garbage, but ap- parently most people do not mind. Besides the Let's-Go-Clean Shawsville-Elliston-Alleghany-and-Anywhere-Else-Day , the Ecology Club, also known as Zaronsky's Marauders , has a perpetual paper drive going. fThat explains the ancient trailer behind the school full of back issues of FIELD AND STREAM and WOMAN'S DAYJ. ltis not only the most ac- tive club in school, it's also the only one too large to fit into one classroom.
