Frank Samuels 31 ii xg S271 I-I ,A f 2 Frank Frank Samue uality ot uantit By Deborah Freeman f all the service clubs that West Forsyth offers, there is a lot of concentration on three minor clubs. These clubs are AudiofVisual, As- tronomy and Junior Civitan. Their strong points are that students must earn a high grade point average and maintain an ex- cellent mark in conduct. AudiofVisual Club has been a part of West Forsyth for three years. A small group of students that were interested and saw the need for video taping of classroom and athletic activities urged Mr. Amund- son to sponsor the group. Many school related events were recorded by the club this year, including all assembly programs and athletic events. Audio taping for the yearbook sound sheet and photographing l44fOther Clubs students for the Outstanding,' academic bulletin board program were two new responsibilities. The Astronomy Club, sponsored by Mr. Van Buren, consisted of a study of the cosmos and space exploration. The As- tronomy Club is the creation of Mr. Van Buren and Samuel Phelps beginning in the 85-86 school year. Asked why he became involved with the Astronomy Club, Samuel Phelps stated, With our economy entering the space age I felt a student should know more about astronomy. With the need for an additional service club and to provide the opportunity for more interested students to become in- volved with a service club, the Junior Civi- tan Club was brought into existence in late January. The Junior Civitan Club worked in con- junction with the Winston-Salem Civitan Club. Service activities that benefit both the school and the community, fund rais- ing events, and some activities just for fun were planned throughout the last semes- ter. In order to participate, one did not need to maintain a certain grade because, at this point, only those students who were encouraged to join were those that were doing well academically. One of the main concerns of the Junior Civitan Club was to make sure no necessary study time was taken away due to club activities. The AudiofVisual, Astronomy, and Ju- nior Civitan Clubs should not be over- looked. Although one may have noticed these smaller clubs, they played an impor- tant role in the every day life at West Forsyth.

STAY ON THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE is the theme the membership committee of SADD decided on for this display in the library. Their objective was to catch everyone's attention and provide them with basic information about the club. EAT UP, EVERYONE!: Cary Roope wraps up some baked goods as Michelle Morgan gets change for Mr. Frank Samuelson who has just purchased two choco- late cupcakes from them.
