Brothers United backs post-game entertainment Our main goal was to try to establish a better re- lationship between students of different backgrounds, stated Angie Dirton, president of Brothers United Club. On November 24 members of the club provided a needy family with a Thanksgiv- ing dinner. They also donated money to the Greg Bennett fund. Mrs. Laura Southerland acted as advisor of the Li- brary Club. Its main goal was to encourage students to use Library facilities and to stimulate reading in- terests. The only requirements for membership were regular attendance at all club meetings and a maintained passing average. Wade Hampton Action Team member Susan Can- trell stated, Even though there was a lack of student participation in the club, l feel that it was a worth- while organization in which we accomplished some improvements around the school.
