There's brownies, and Betty Crocker's homemade chocolate chip cook- ies, all for a good cause ladies and gentlemen! The Social Studies Club has been actively in- volved in many fundraisers. They started with the refreshment sales at the Fall Play and ended with their popular Annual Carnation Sale in March. The Club provided the Headstart Program with many toys for the less fortunate children in the Los An- geles area. They also opened up the Annual Phil- hamionic trip to the school in January. This year, the French Club furthered our school's knowledge of the French culture by dis- playing French movies and having compiled a French cookbook. As President of the Club, Jenni- fer Courter put it, We want to do things to help us understand the French people. On the other hand, the Latin Club attended the Latin Banquet at Gardena High attired in their self made togas. I felt like a fool, but so did everybody else, re- marked President Derek King. They also presented their Second Annual Latin Club Foreign Language l T shirt Sale, which ranged from French-designed l collegiate sweatshirts to Spanish-worded, long sleeved tees. 1 Copy and Layout by Pearl Liu i Photos by Kelly Yokoe l i l .

presenting the 44450 student motions in with reluctance, wishing he could go home instead of occupying such late hours. Pressured for time, he saunters into the infamous pub , where scattered leftover trash collected throughout the day is strevim. He stares at the blank screen of the computer until a light bulb goes on and he brainstorms for creativeness. Hours later, the finished product is ready for the next issue of Smoke Signals. With so few returning members, the group started inexperienced. Although there were a few handicaps, the staff had a successful year. They were open to new ideas and criticism, as well as praise. Smoke Signals reflected the year with serious issues dealing with drunk-driving, gangsters, and condoms. Under the guidance of lnez McGee, the cooperation of the photogra- phers, reporters, and editors made each issue new and exciting. Late night paste-ups thrash up your mental- ity, replied Editor-in-Chief senior Sharon lshikawa, but then you always have three weeks to gain it all back before the next issue COYHES OULU Copy by Helen Yoo, Layout by Pearl Liu Photos by John Auyeung, Bill Hardy -17 1987- '88 Smoke signals.
