The answer was depart- ment club members. Students who participated in German Club, French Club, Spanish Club, Social Studies Club, FTA and Ornamental Horticul- ture Club all had one thing in common - fundraising. Members of the foreign lan- guage department clubs sold t-shirts, candy, and calendars to earn money to attend a for- eign language camp. Social Studies Club held several candy sales. Profits from the sales went toward funding members participat- ing in an organized trip to Eur- ope. Horticulture Club highlight- ed special events by selling flower arrangements. During the Christmas season, wreaths and center pieces were sold. Top p1'i01'1'ty funds Extra wreaths were made and donated to local nursing homes. Money from the Good Luck Flower sale went to var- ious club activities. FTA set up a scholarship fund for graduating members. Posters were sold to earn mon- ey for the fund. Unlike the other department clubs, Great Books Club and lr. IAD did not sponsor any fund raising activities. Great Books Club met on a regular basis to discuss pieces of litera- ture. As a special activity, lr. LAD, a club that offered hear- ing impaired students a chance to participate in school activities, had a roller-skating- pizza party. The department clubs fund raising activities provided stu- dents with a large selection of goods at reasonable prices. As a result, the entire student body profited from the sales.

. f l Shes Bringing hobbies into school, Coin, Ski and Chess Clubs gave students an oppor- tunity to share outside inter- ests. The Coin Club was impor- tant to students who were in- terested in coin collecting. lt was a place where members could exchange their dupli- cate coins, increase their knowledge ot coins, and learn how to grade coins. The Ski Club had over 50 members and combined with Thornwood to run ski trips on weekends and holidays. The one-day trips included Ameri- cana, Little Switzerland and chool groups dbvekqz hobbkw Timber Ridge. Weekends were spent at Whitecap and Big Powderhorn Mountain. The ski trips gave us some- thing to do with friends instead ot just sitting around inside, stated Kacey Paw. The Chess Club started a third consecutive season in contention tor the SICA East title. The team finished its sea- son l2-O with a clear win in the SICA East division and turned in an impressive tenth place in state out ot over 70 teams. The special-interest clubs in- vited students to develop their hobbies while bringing torth new experiences. CoinfSki!Chess Clubs 89
