Cake and cotton candy booths added to the traditional atmosphere of a fair, and the success of the first carnival resulted in another in the spring. ln cooperation with the Tampa Optimists, J.O. hosted the Rangers-Barracudas semi-pro football game. The Junior Optimists sold raffle tickets for a stereo chair that was won by the vice-president of Optimist International. For Christmas J.O. col- lected canned goods for needy families. The club's winter induction party was at Richard Dwyer's house. For Homecoming Richard Dwyer and Jeff Money decorate a car. You make a club by your individual effort. You have to work to make it good. - Larry Benedict 190 i Junior Optimist li L7 LP' Secretary Billy Chiles, vice-president Jeff Money, sergeant-at-arms Mark Handschy, president Richard Dwyer, and treasurer Mark Chapman are somewhat optimistic about seats being installed in the auditorium.

lnteroct combines Plont Week fun, ecology proiect Known more for hell-raising than for service, Interact be- gan the year with the tradi- tional fun of Plant Week, but combined it with an ecology service project, a paper and aluminum can drive. Spirit picked up for the first football game of the year with rival Plant when the Interact demolition car was parked on the school grounds. Many en- joyed releasing their hostili- ties by pounding, punching and poking - in general mutilating - a symbol of Plant. lnteract's cheerleaders, an annual phenomenon of Plant Week, added to the fun. But after a week of such shenanigans, the club turned to the more serious problem of pollution, cleaning their own homes first, then around their neighborhoods. They reported that it was hard work but certainly worthwhile. 1 Bottom Row: Frank Shroyer, secretary, Larry Bratcher, president, Mr. Gene King, sponsor, Dean Michaels, vice president, Mike Burkhard, treasurer.
