As vice-chairman of the State Youth Council, junior Becky Fleser served as counselor and selected speakers for the separate two week, five day camps in August. She participated in volleyball games and voted in the mock House of Representatives where members passed serious and sometimes silly laws to learn more about the legislature. Other summer activities included working four days at their booth at the Ohio State Fair. Elected for one year, Becky attended S.F.B. board meetings once a month and traveled to other regions to meet the other seven members on the State Youth Council. She was also elected to the ten member Pike-Scioto Youth Council. Fleser said, For a while we didn't have a local one, but we found out that other places did, so that started us on the idea of starting our own. We give answers opinions to questions they send us such as our views on abortion and Star Wars. They take our answers, combine them with other councils' answers and turn them into statistics. They send those to Washington D.C. All the activities we sponsor, go to help farmers. My parents belong to the Bureau, so some people asked me if I wanted to go. At first, I didn't want to get involved, but the other counselors from camp write to me, and we're all good friends. Mistletoe Ball Dancing for money. On December 27, the Rainbow Girls sponsored the annual Mistletoe Ball, a dance to raise money for their organization. Stationed at the Senior Citizen's Building, the dance began at 7:30 p.m. with the scheduled ending at 11:30 p.m. Due to poor attendance, the dance prematurely closed at 10:30. With 1986 graduate David Strickland dee-jaying, the dance netted approximately $100 for the Assembly. Junior Val Williams said, Mylar was everywhere and it was beautifully decorated. But after the fourth or fifth dance, people had ripped it all down. Attendance was low and the music was awful. But the dancers who were left at the end seemed to enjoy themselves.'V Rainbow Girls This semi-religious, public oriented organization for girls could be round meeting the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Meetings and formal initiations were secret while dues for the newly initiated cost $13 and for other members, $6. Fund raising constituted a large part of the Rainbow's time. Selling Luv-Pops and assorted nuts combined with sponsoring chicken noodle and pancake dinners brought in the money. The Brag Rag ribbon told about the awards that each member earned. The highest award was to earn 50 Honorable Mentions, resulting in a Bible gift. Junior Becky Fleser said, We're in District 16. We get to attend meetings at Chillicothe, Lucasville ana Portsmouth. We have a lot of fun meeting new people. Junior Tabby Williams, headed the Waverly Assembly as Worthy Advisor, and as Past Worthy Advisor. Jennifer Detillion followed Tabby as Worthy Advisor. Required test Be all that you can be! In the First week of November, the Armed Forces of the United States, gave a required test to all juniors and seniors. The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) took students first through fourth period to complete the eight section test. Vocational students took the test at a later date at their school. Some juniors and seniors disliked the idea of the required test. If one missed the test day, he or she had to take the test on the makeup day. I thought the test was basically easy, expect for the auto shop and electronics section. I don't know why they put an electronics section on the test because most high schools don't even offer electronics, said senior James Mustard. 26 Mini-mag
