Ralston High School’s Green
Club focused on environmental is­
sues in the school, community, and
worldwide. In its second year of
existence, the club grew in both
members and in accomplishments.
The 1992-1993 was, however, pri­
marily a growing year.
The officers for Green Club
werejuniors Ann BertrangandJulie
Spears. Math teacher Linda Hayek
was the sponsor. The year began
with a recycling drive, which gave
community memebers an oppor­
tunity to drop off saved newspa­
pers, aluminum cans, and glass.
Some other activities included a
trip to the Lied Jungle, clean-ups of
the high school grounds, and an
environmental “scavenger hunt” in
honor of Earth day in April. As a
fundraiser, environmental t-shirts
were sold by club members. The
money raised was then used to
purcahse an acre of rain forest.
Green Club attempted to help
in many areas of environmental
concern. “I think we’ve really ac­
complished a lot this year,” club
officer Ann Bertrang stated. “...I
think it’s really important to recog­
nize the problems with the envi­
ronment, and try to do something
about it. That’s what we try to do,
even if we can only help in small
ways.”
