OAL Athletes raise money for athletic events Girls ' Organized Athletic League involves ONLY girls in both basketball and track. During the year, G.O.A.L. has had many fund-raising activities such as bake sales, selling spirit pens, and working at the concession stand during the Toast of the Coast tour- nament, to buy equipment for their sport. I like working at the bake sales because it gives me a chance to meet new people who really sup- port the basketball team, said Karey Janak, sophomore. Top sales winners will be able to go to either the state track meet, or to the state basketball game at the end of the year. I try to sell a whole lot of the stuff we are issued so I can attend the state track meet or basketball game, said Grsula Johnson, sophomore.

I joined G.O.A.L. because it was a requirement for athletics. I have now grown to like it. Going through initiation was the most fun a person could have when joining a club. During the time of initiation, you dislike it. After your first year, you look back and think about how much fun you had. Being president of G.O.A.L. has changed me for the best. I have learned to be a leader. Leadership is impor- tant to me. Leadership is im- portant to have during your adulthood and I feel I am pretty well prepared.

Mrs. JoAnn Stovall. principal, and Diane Garza, Student Coun- cil president, discuss plans for the ceremony to plant a live oak tree in front of the school in memory of Christa McAuliffe as well as honor the faculty, on the first national Teacher Apprecia- tion Day. Jan 30, the first an- niversary of the Challenger ex- plosion, was designated by President Ronald Reagan to honor the first teacher in space. Student Council has made a lasting impact on my life. More than anything else, I learned about people and myself. I wish more people could be given the chance and the incen- tive to join the organization as moviated as the Student Council. Petitioning as a freshman at-large representative was the smartest thing 1 could have done at the beginn- ing of my high school years. By doing so, I was able to come into contact with people of various backgrounds and grade levels. The thing 1 learned early was that responsibility makes a difference and that the right attitude brings on responsibility. Never before, and probably never again, will 1 be given the chance to experience leadership, pride, and a sense of happiness that Student Council gave me my senior year. The thing that made it complete, however, was the people I was given to work with, my officers and my council.

F.C.A. is not really what people think it is cut out to be, said Madeline Mendieta, senior. We not only have spiritual devotions, but we have other outings as well, she added. We are planning to have a picnic at the end of the year, ' ' said Lydia Hobbs, senior. I am really looking forward to it, she added. I ' ve been in F.C.A. since around the beginning of school this year. Coach Barnard is the one who really got me in it. He cares about people a lot, and I ' m glad he ' s got the guts enough to keep us going. It ' s a chance to talk about what most peo- ple would call ' religious stuff , but hey ... we learn a lot, whether it ' s through talking about other ex- periences, reading the Bible, or hear- U ing guest speakers. I hope more peo- ple join in the future; 1 know they ' d like it. It ' s a great way to keep your week going, and there aren ' t any dues. Rebecca Wilhelmsen Boys FC A Back. Glen Filla. Lee Barnard.
