To promote the idea of a
united student body, the club has
had T-shirts printed that feature
the society's name and a picture
of white and black hands shaking.
The club began in February,
which, appropriately enough, is
Black History Month. "We got
people to join by word of
mouth," says club President
Tammie Caldwell.
Since the club began so late, its
membership hasn't had much
I time for many activities, but
Caldwell says "next year will be
different."
The club has, however, had
time to interact with similar clubs
at other schools in the city.
Recently the club held an oldfashioned
cookout with North
I Forsyth's Ebony-American
I Society.
I The society's officers include a
EL president, vice president,
secretary, assistant secretary and
treasurer. According to the
utasuici, onarun savage, me
society will keep the same officers
for the next school year.

The credit card fraud act of
1984 increases the penalties
leveled against those caught in activities
that involve the illegal use
of credit cards or other similar
financial "access devices."
The Better Business Bureau
notes, however, that credit card
fraud remains one of the most
widespread forms of crime practiced
against consumers and
businesses, costing in excess of $1
billion each year. The BBB urges
consumers to observe the following
precautions in the use of their
credit cards:
Guard your credit cards at
least as carefully as you would
cash.
Sign new cards immediately
upon receipt.

twice each month unless
something comes up and she has
to call an emergency meeting.
She notes that the organization
by no means intends to
discriminate. 14We decided upon
adding the name American to the
organization to prevent
discriminating against other races
in the school who might like to
join," she says.

adds, "Next year we will be

In addition, the club plans to
observe Dr. Martin Luther King's
birthday with a student body program
and party. The members
also plan to continue educating
other students with black history
bulletin boards.
Since the school needs a dark
room for the printing of its own
yearbook pictures, says
McMillan, the club would like to
set up a fund for a dark room and
and invite other clubs to donate.
What's more, the club
members intend to enhance their
own awareness of black culture
by touring several black
businesses. I
And, as part of their community
service they plan to visit local I
nursing homes and put on V
musical programs for the elderly.
