CLUB In the fall of 1978, the Beta Club was enthusias- tically welcomed to the Greenwave Family initiat- ing new opportunities for fun and friendship in an academic setting for qualifying members. One ba- sic club aim is to nurture occasions that develop leadership abilities and skills. Another underlying goal is to commend by means of a Merit Award, students who have steadfastly persued academic excellence during their high school careers. This year the Beta Club, a school service organization, is busily involved in sponsoring many Spencer based activities that sometimes spill out to encompass the community as well as other clubs within the school. This Greenwave spirit and drive is well exemplified by activities such as the Biorythms program a popular joint effort with the Math Club, several car washes, a relaxing fun-filled trip to Six Flags, an educational assembly and a successful Christmas dance. Spencerian Betans are on the go demonstrating the fun of club teamwork and chal- lenging all other clubs to meet and defeat their record in affectiveness and spirit!!
