Black Culture, Student Relations Engage Club Interest Emphasis on Black culture was made the chief function of the Black Heritage club. Meeting during lunch and activity periods, members planned various programs in an effort to bring about a new Black awareness. Their perform- ance in the Christmas assembly reveal- ed scenes of family unity, joyous danc- ing, and colorful costumes, all a part of the African Christmas. A presentation during Black History Week, postponed when Sumter became snowbound was given in March. Brotherhood and togetherness, com- mon concerns of all,became the theme around which the Human Relations club revolved. Discussions on contro- versial topics led to a purging of frustra- tions and a clearer understanding of student emotions. Club members join- ed in painting posters and producing skits dealing with racial conflicts and student-teacher relationships. I Organizations 'IT9

After studying voting and election procedures, members ofthe Political Systems club joined with the Student Council and held a mock election to give Nixon and McGovern supporters the chance to express their presidential choices. Fiery campaigns were conducted in social studies classes, students were registered during lunch, and on Monday, Nov. 6, SHS voters took to the polls. Although Richard Nixon won the race by a landslide in the national election, the choice of Sumter High students were none other than George McGovern.
