Girls' Club members did not know the meaning ot the word rest. lust as they finished one project, they were halt way into another. lncoming treshman were in- troduced at the Big-Little Sister Tea, where refreshments were served and questions by the new girls were answered by a Girls' Club member. Lisa Ferczok, club president, stat- ed, l thought the tea went really well. We had a play de- scribing all the clubs and ac- tivities we have here, and l telt it helped them get an idea as to what they might want to get involved in. lt only seemed appropriate tor the Girls' Club to sponsor the annual turnabout dance, Almost Paradise, in March. Candy sales helped to support Project Hnjsh ed 27 Next one starting this dance as well as other fund raiser activities. During Homecoming week muscle men were invited to compete in the Mr. Bod. con- test. Qther club-sponsored events were Romeo Romeo Day, the sale of Heart-o- Grams, and Parents Night. The otticers and active members devoted a lot ot time to plan and coordinate their activities. We've tried very hard to work together as a group, said Mrs. Edythe Strater, Girls' Club sponsor. They were also assisted by a co-sponsor, Mrs. Lynn Pan- ega. Planning candy sales at a meeting or painting decora- tions tor a dance, Girls' Club activities were always constant. Girls Club 97

From previous savings and selling tins ot cookies and can- dy, the boys saved enough money to go to the Bulls game. The night was a night they would remember. Going out with the guys was great, we had a blast. l hope we can do something like that next year, stated Tim Zackavec. Boys Club held its annual faculty-student bowling tour- nament. Mr. Salvatore Salato, Mr. Mike Bortel and Mr. Tom Paonessa took tirst for the tac- ulty while Steve Straka, Roger Gillespie and loe Speeczi took It's ez boys night out tirst tor the students. Turkeys were awarded to bowlers with high scores. As a first this year, newspa- pers were sold for twenty cents before homeroom. They were also delivered to hornerooms after the sale tor those who still wanted them. Selling newspa- pers was one ot the club's ways ot getting money. l thought selling papers was a good idea because kids like to read the paper as Weil as the teachers do, and twenty cents was a bargain, stated Tim Nelson, sports chairman. Both students and faculty became involved through the activities ot the Boys Club. Boys Club 99
