Many club members joined with Student Council to work with the Elf Louise Christmas project. I think that having clubs meet dur- ing the day is a good idea because it lets us be together and it makes it easy for more people to participate in clubs. Ronnie Anderson Senior Club schedule provides a good opportunity to participate in a school function and help out our community. Stephanie Bixby Junior I thought the way the clubs were run this year was good. l believe a school club should take school time. The organization of the clubs and the way they were run seemed to be suc- cessful. Brian Strange Sophomore I feel that the clubs help students prepare for the future. The business clubs give an idea of what the working world is really like. There are also clubs that get imagainations going, like Drama. Clubs make a school by getting students involved.

B eing involved in clubs allowed us to spend time doing things we really enjoyed, without having to worry about such pressures as tests, assignments, or grades. During club schedule, held the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, we became involved in such events as intramurals, bake sales, and conventions. However, not all students were as interested in fund raisers as others. The three service clubs allowed these students to be involved with helping others while finishing a job with a sense of accomplishment. They participated in such events as visiting a children's shelter, sending volunteers to help with the Elf Louise Christmas project, and also 0l,lll.l stuffing envelopes for the American Cancer Society. For those interested in recrea- tional or leisure activities, the soccer, bowling, and table tennis clubs offered enjoyment in exercise with the main objective being to just have a good time. Students who simply could not get their fill of school, as well as those who had their fill but enjoyed academics, often became members of one of the academic clubs on campus. Among these were the four language clubs, AFS, and vari- ous science clubs. Mu Alpha Theta was also listed in this category, however, membership wasn't up to individual students. Members had to be either sophomore, junior 0 senior, and secondly, they had t have maintained at least an 85 avei age in all math courses. HERO, DECA, and HOSA wer just a few to represent the nume ous vocational clubs on campu Drama and Imagination Llnlimite were two of several creative clu that promoted enthusiastic origina ity. l E ach of us were a part of thi well-rounded whole, evenlj balancing each other. The distio types of members, as well as all th organizations, were different, yet important and essential to each stu dent involved. Kristi Webi

This was the main goal of Student Coun- cil-to get the students more involved. lt makes you feel like you're more a part of the school, said Chris Keefe. X Projects to help with school administraf tion were taken on by the group, such as pre-registration, third period an- nouncements and freshman officer elec- tions. These adminstrative duties helped take the load off of the people in the office. Many projects were organized and sponr sored by the Student Council to get the stu- dent body involved in the school. They sponsored dances, two spirit weeks fone in October, the other in April during Fiesta Weeki, club intramurals, the Supreme Ball, sold popcorn and exchanged football spiril gifts. In addition, they participated in many service projects for the community. Thes included the American Cancer Society' Great American Smokeout, the Elf Louis project, the Alcohol Awareness survey, th Christian Children's Fund, the March o Dimes Walk America, and the Easter Seal Blue Bell ice cream sales, This was th first time l've seen a student body s involved in the school activities, said Din Carpenter. lt was organized very well.' Teresa Brown added, They organized a lot of things to keep the students workin hard. B esides all these projects, they also ha things to do for the Student Council organization itself. They attended many workshops including the TASC worksho at San Angelo State University, the district workshop at Marshall High School, the ad vanced leadership workshop at Del Rio, the district workshop at La Pryor, the Trinity leadership workshop and their own Clark leadership workshop. They also at- tended the Student Council district ban- quet, the district meeting in Bandera, the district convention in Bandera and the state convention in Austin. Plus, they hosted the first district Student Council meeting and ran the district picnic. One reason for this large involvement was due to the fact that Clark represented the district as honorary vice president.
