They all started out with a bang but due to the lack of student par- ticipation, a few clubs had to put off plans until next year.

This club is full of members wishing to decrease the extremely high death rate among teenagers, due to al- cohol. Though some students were critical of its intentions, the club has managed to accumulate a large number of students who actually care for the safety and well- being of their friends. Big brothers and big sisters has managed to take some of the ra- tional fear out of being an incoming freshman here at Spotsy High. Sponsored by the S.C.A., this group of dedicated seniors has spent a great deal of time working with freshman homerooms. They try to relieve some of the stress in- volved in such areas as finding new classes and preparing for ex- ams. Every freshman who found his way to class on the first day gives thanks to his big brother or sister. Holding up victory signs, the Pep Club enthusi- astically cheers Spotsy on to the districts. Sherrice Johnson and Dwayne Pendleton boogie down after a Knights game. The first meetings of the chess club and the literary magazine were packed with in- terested students. However, as the weeks progressed, the interest waned and these clubs strug- gled to get started. Plans have not been abandoned and these clubs hope to gain larger membership in years to come.
