THE RT CLUB SHINES O AS A EW ADDITIO TO WEST V LLEY HIGH SCHOOL. An active new Art Club was started this year by an active new teacher, Bev Byington. Ms. Byington describes the club as an 'iindiviclualized interest groupf' lt allowed students to come after school and work on art projects for extra points or, in many cases, money. Some students received art pins as rewards for their efforts. One of the Art Club's primary interests was stimulating school interest in art. One method it used to accomplish this was the doodle banner contest. Students from the different classes competed by drawing on their respective banners during lunch periods. The Art Club also participated in useful money making projects. They manufactured Wolfpack note pads, as well as banners and posters for other groups within the school. To promote a more positive school atmosphere, officers Osvaldo Ruiz and Ron Jones along with Ms. Byington decided to design an award for scholastic achievement. There is great artistic ability at West Valley. The Art Club sponsored art contests to showcase this talent. This is why the Art Club was such a welcomed addition to West Valley's after-school clubs.

WITH A FRESH START, THE BLIZZARD STAFF PRODUCED With a helping hand, hard working Sheila AN OUTSTANDING PAPER M C 'v B'i a' Working long and hard, the West Valley Blizzard staff was able to produce a reliable and accurate source of information. The staff decided to make format changes early in the year. The paper was no longer made in tablet form but went back to the conventional size paper of earlier years. Also, many features from last year, such as UCollege Corner, Rock Review, USenior Stars, 'LCrosstown High, and Did I Really Eat That? , were no longer a part of the monthly issues. With the help of their advisor, Mrs. Green, the staffers raced all around school and outside of school digging up current material that they could print. They reported factually and accurately the goings on around school and also anything that happened in the community that would possibly effect the school. Even with all the changes that had to be made the 1980-81 Blizzard staff adjusted well, put their experience in journalism to good use, and produced yet another great school newspaper for the 1980-81 school year. 42 BLIZZARD Ever dedicated to his task, Jay Weaver stamps out return addresses.
