yt. . Q . Drive for Dollars Art Club Participation Captures Financial Gain M aking money is, of course, an ob- ject for all clubs, but the Art Club combines this drive for dollars with a chance for art students to show off their work. But first off is financial security, and the Art Club used some of the oldest tricks in the book to make money. They sold candy on the holidays and entered their club in various school contests. The Christmas Sing, for example, was entered to try to make bucks. But that wasn't where it ended for this club. They opened a Country Store which sold pottery, statues, pain- tings, and inkings and which also gave the artists alittle publicity. Of course, our main goal is money making, said adviser Pat Baskin, but we're also interested in getting a group of people together who are all intersted in the same thing. President Conery Sanders and Secretary Sam Meinke kept the group of 25 members going through this year, attending several art con- tests onthe side.

NBA hopefuls practice their moves during one of their free days. Physical itness Like it, or not, PE was a have to at SHS Testing over the various activities, to some students' dislike, was also a part of the PE program. Although required by state law, physical education and health turned out to be fun for most students in the tenth grade. It is a state requirement that you have eighteen weeks of health and one unit of P.E., said Coach Donald Hart, of the physical education department. He pointed out that students who don't take these classes in the tenth grade, then have to take a whole year of community health and a whole year of gym dur- ing their junior and senior year. I had health first semester and I thought it was pretty fun, Christy Young, sophomore said. We learn- ed things that might be useful later on in life, like CPR. I also liked it because I got good grades, she added. I thought gym was a lot of fun, said sophomore Courtney Dawson. It helped keep us in shape and it was a good break in the day. Sonya Carter, sophomore, said gym was fun because you could be with your friends. Also we never had homework. Even though health was an easy class, I did learn some things, Darcy Bartz, sophomore, said.
