A Helping Hand The Booster Club to ttie rescue! Have you ever wondered how the baseball team got a pitching machine or the football team got a blocking sled? Thanks to the U.C.H.S. Booster Club, which has been aiding the school for three years, we were able to have those conve- niences. A few of their other contributions were loop films and starting blocks for track, a communications system for football games, and socks for the soc cer team. The Booster Club was organized in 1981 by Joe Tefoya, former vice-principal of U.C.H.S. and Majorie Johnson, an active parent. Our purpose is to assist coaches financially, where the school can not, in getting equipment, said President Bob England. The club started out with a hand- ful of parents contributing a five dollar annual membership fee and has grown to a member- ship of about twenty families with over two- thousand dollars in their account. The Booster Club raised most of its funds by sponsoring dances and social functions like banquets and the ever popular Dr. Dean. These funds were put aside until a coach or parent approached them with a need and the club helped them out. As an all-school booster club, it welcomed input at its meetings which were held when- ever there was an issue to be discussed. The Booster Club is an invaluable asset to the school and with continuing support it will keep on doing its best for U.C. High. Pat Schneider, Werner. Sue Wilson, Sunny Pippin. Bob England.
