 . . . to join . . . to relate . . . to enjoy School seems to be full of extra-curricular activities. There's always something for everyone ranging from dressing up for Mardi Gras, as shown on the left, to preparing you for the outside in FHA or FFA. Or if you prefer, you can scream till you're hoarse in Pep Club, think of headlines for a yearbook page, or plan a dance. The great thing about all these organiza- tions is a member not only learns something of value for the future, but they're given the chance to develop lasting friendships. Common interest and goals are found when an organization turns many into one. When joining with our friends, we've all felt that sense of unity because it's agreed among all of us that, One Are We. 25
