Cultural awareness enhances activities elling taffy apples, ac- knowledging Black His- tory Month, and planning the fashion show were hard jobs for the members of PUBS. With the help of Mrs. Bose Thomas, PUBS' new sponsor, the load was made lighter. Mrs. Thomas, Social Stud- ies teacher, really felt that she could help students as well as bring in new ideas for the club. 'tl think that black students need a club in school that they can identify with, she said. The members met every Wednesday after school to discuss future plans. PUBS' activities included decorating a car in the homecoming pa- rade and selling taffy apples every day after school for two weeks to raise money for club functions. February, Black History Month, meant the PUBS' members were at their busiest. Every morning during an- nouncements, PUBS' mem- bers acknowledged important black figures in history. l'm proud that we were able to have this chance to show how black people enriched Amer- ica, said Donna Parker. The club also decorated the book- store window with pictures and articles which were dis- played during the entire month. The spring talent and fash- ion show was a traditional PUBS' activity. Preparations started in early February as students competed for a place in the show. We looked for- ward to the show. lt was an opportunity for a lot of new ideas and talent to be seen, said Andre Tate. PUBS was not just a club, but a chance for black stu- dents to express their culture. From history to fashion, PUBS covered it all.
