By this work, club members hoped to fulfill their duties in serving the school and community. Plans began early in Septem- ber for the publishing of the annual student directory. Selling advertisements and obtaining names, addresses, and telephone numbers were necessary tasks before the directories could be completed. The booklets were dedicated to Coach Ronnie Bate- man and went on sale in Novem- ber, at the price of 506. Interact members were kept busy also during the Christmas holidays as they rang bells and collected contributions for the Salvation Army. By aiding needy families of Fort Smith, this proj- ect helped fulfill the club's com- munity service goal. ln Nlay another activity was sponsored by the Interact Club during the annual Play Day. Members set up a water balloon throw where the student body tried to drown the members of Interact who were targets for the booth. 5, 'U Rf, 017' 71x 71 c Counting student direcl tories before the sale which began December 17, Interact presiq dent Buzz Karsten anxious! awaits the profits.,

During the Christ- mas holidays Junior Exchange members rang bells at the Central lVlall for this worthy community organization. Bright new yellow vests with blue trim arrived in January and were distributed to all members to be worn every Wednesday to the meetings. On Fridays two members attended the regular Exchange Club meetings held at the Ward Motor Hotel. With money needed for their end-of-the-year project, a dough- nut sale was conducted during the second semester. Again this year the group helped sponsor Play Day, at which members ran a coke stand along the midway of booths. Officers this year were: Reece Jaber, presidentg Randy Wright, vice president, Bob Srygley, secretary-treasurer.
