Clobbered by other clubs?
Try these.

Boy, I just love Maine West. Isn't it the greatest? West has so much to offer its students: great teachers, good classes and clubs, oh all those clubs.

West has clubs to suit all kinds of different people, but unfortunately not everyone knows about all these clubs.

Have you heard about the new Madonna Look‑Alike Club that's being formed? I really think that I'm going to join it, because in my opinion, I bear a shocking resemblance to Madonna. I guess I'm just a "Lucky Star."

Don't tell anyone about this because it's a secret, but a Gossip Club might be started this year. I heard from a friend of mine who found a note in the hall, which was written by girl who overheard two people saying that they saw someone who was talking to a person about a rumor that they heard that a Gossip Club was going to be formed soon. I only hope that I'm enough of a gossip to join.

One organization I've really been thinking about joining is the Top Pops Club. The members sit around and listen to all the latest hits by the Bee‑Gees, John Travolta, and other hot singers. I can just picture myself doing the sun‑walk or is it the earth‑walk, well whatever, to "Staying Alive." Oh, I get tingly all over just thinking about it.

For the person who gets washed away by the soaps, West offers the Soap Opera Club, If a student needs a "Guiding Light" in his "Search for Tomorrow", this club is for him. During the "Days of Our Lives" we all need a good soap opera and a little "Loving" to get us through the week.

So, unless you're from "Another World" you know how much a favorite soap can cheer you up. This club is definitely for the "Young and the Restless." Remember that you only have "One Life to Live", so join now.
The Maine Modeling Club should not be overlooked. I've been in it for two years now, and I juuuust love it. We learn how to do hair flips and how to pivot without falling off a stage. I've really learned how to work with the camera, and I love to get shot.

The Pet Club is also a dog‑gone good organization to join. The club's plans for the year include constructing a petting zoo in D‑wing and setting up a "Neighborhood Watchdog Group" to guard local pet stores. Also, an added bonus of being in the Pet Club is that members get first dibs on which frogs they want to dissect in biology class.

For the student who might be too shy to join some of the more well known clubs, why not consider joining the Bird Watching Club? A "cardinal" reason for becoming a member is to learn more about our fine, feathered friends. Don't be a "turkey" and "chicken" out of joining. Just "swallow" your fear and "duck" on into the Bird Headquarters when you have time.

More active students might consider joining the Jump Rope Club. Members meet every day after school and have a jumpin' good time. So, to keep your head in the air and your feet on the ground (at least half the time) join this club. Get hopping to the gym and get ready to be knocked off your feet.

I'd like to mention one final organization, the Latch Hook Rug Club. I heard that the members are already planning on selling homemade Warrior rugs at the Homecoming game. All you have to do to join, is just latch onto a rug kit and come to our next meeting. You're sure to get hooked on this club.

This is only a partial list of the clubs which West offers its students. Pick a club, any club. If you feel like you're being beaten down by all this "clubbing" why not join the club that helps you decide what clubs to join.
