the Pride of our heritage BLFICK FIWFIFIENESS lack Awareness club was founded and organized by the late Mrs. Dorothy Boudreaux. Mrs. Boudreaux devoted much of her time and energy to help- ing young high school students. No task seemed too great if it concerned the development of young people. Because of the great start she gave the organization, it continued to thrive. The Black Awareness club has been active for three years with its purpose to focus on black people yesterday and today. The new sponsor, Mrs. Patricia Shorts, contributed greatly to the organization. She supported the club's ideas and promoted their purposes. The Black Awareness club participated in many activities during the school year such as bake sales, gifts sales, candy sales, Black History Month showcase, teachers' breakfast, and Christmas cards to the Richmond State School kids. I felt it was a good oppor- tunity to learn about black Americans, said junior James Tilley, and their contribution to America. Black Awareness club helped the black kids recognize who they are and all that they can become. said junior Sheila Ellis. You learn how important black people are in America and how they are now being recognized. We had a lot of fun by selling things and putting up bulletin boards representing black people. 126

Junior Achievement: a re ardin experien e. . . i unior Achievement was a very rewarding experience for its members. Sponsored by Gulf Oil, the members were taught about the many responsibilities in- volved in running a business' These responsibilities included business managing, financing, manufacturing, distributing, and personnel managing. The group organized a company called CANCO which allowed each member to strengthen their leader- ship capabilities. They sold homemade lamps the first semester and first aid kits, which they put together themselves, the second semester. This year the members chose leaders who were trained by the advisors, Cindy Shaver and Terri Laney, in order to better promote the groups project.
