A new Catagory that was ad- ded to the talent show was lip synching. With students be- ing able to lip synch their fa- vorite songs the talent show turned out even better, stated Monica Tucker, PUBS mem- ber. The annual talent and fash- ion show was the main source of the club's finances. Other fund raising activities had stu- dents selling taffy apples and working concessions at basket- ball games. Talent Qmzts on hits' The purpose of PUBS CPa- moja United Brothers and Sis- tersl was to develop an aware- ness of Afro-American culture and to promote interest throughout the school year. By speaking on the daily an- nouncements, members of PUBS honored famous blacks and their accomplishments. Being on PUBS made me more aware of myself and my abilities. Also, as a member l was encouraged to set goals and meet them, stated Car- mie lackson, junior. Promoting awareness of black culture was only part of the PUBS emphasis, the mem- bers also found time to share their talents with others. PUBS 75

P ' as IZZ s u p port I C act1 Vlt Whether making pizzas, go- ing to the circus, or camping, AFS proved to be a valuable experience for its members. Money raised by annual piz- za sales was used to cover for- eign exchange students' ex- penses such as class rings, sen- ior pictures, and school sup- plies. Trips included l7 AFS stu- dents spending a weekend at a camp located in Berrien Springs, Michigan. They also traveled to a small farming community, located in Le- Cene, Minnesota. For the first time Thornridge sposored a student for an en- I 76 AFS tire year abroad as part of the AFS program. Chris Schae- flein spent a year in New Zea- land and attended Cashmere High School. Since it began in 1964, AFS has brought 33 students from 25 different countries to TR. The AFS Club allows Thorn- ridge students to have friends around the world. I'm amazed at how many of them keep in touch long after they graduate from this school, stated Miss loann Macander, sponsor. The doors to other cultures were opened through the ef- forts of AFS.
