FCA — Living and Growing Guest speakers, fund raisers, and trips to places such as Black Mountain, North Carolina are activities typical of most school clubs; FCA is no exception. The Fellowshop of Christian Atheletes is a school club that meets every second and fourth Friday morning of the month. During these meetings, students have de- votions and Bible studies. Sometimes stu- dents viewed films, listened to guest speakers, and have business meetings. FCA members are given opportunities to travel to camps in Pennsylvania, Mar- shall, Indiana; and North Carolina. Stu- dents also help usher at ballet perfor- mances and serve as camp counselors at muscular dystrophy camps. Students don ' t have to be athletes to be in FCA, although it is recommended. Officers are elected and are allowed to run the meetings. This year the officers were: Jim Plumb, president; Tina Toirac, vice-president; Brian McNeal, treasurer; and Amy Jackson; Secretary. FCA gives students an opportunity to make friends, help the community, and strengthen their faith. — Jane Kurtz Members listen to one of the many guest speakers who visited FCA this year. photo Tami Clark FCA — (Row 1) Stacey Hughes, Mark Wilson, Sandra Ray, Rick Confer, Scott Kruger, Mark Stoner.

Caring Students Seek to Save Lives The S.A.D.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) chapter kicked off the school year with the purchase of several hundred mirrored keychains. One side of the key- chain says Students Against Driving Drunk, and the other. Northrop High School S.A.D.D. Chapter. They were awarded to the first lucky 50 students inside the doors at the Winter Semi-For- mal oance in January. Scott Bojrab, pres- ident of the chapter, said, Their purpose was to help remind students to be re- sponsible and not drink while driving. There is always a need for teens to drive safely, but especially during the prom and graduation season when teens are most likely to drink. This year S.A.D.D. made available a certificate for students to sign promising not to drink and drive during this time. Students who signed this card received a brochure with valuable coupons inside. Future plans for S.A.D.D. include pro- ducing a commercial to be shown on local television promoting the need for safety while behind the wheel. — Nancy Zumwalt President Scott Bojrab works on campaigns against drunk driving. photo Tami Clark Sharon Collins and Tammy Rugman examine key- •.- ■-. ■ 9 and slogans for operation Prom Graduation. photo Tami Clark 206 S.A.D.D.

Positive Peer Pressure Partying, alcohol, and sex are all things teens are faced with during high school. These things have become a major con- cern for parents. An organization that helps teens find answers for their prob- lems is Campus Life. Campus Life, a branch of Youth for Christ, brings high school teens together to talk about their problems. Senior Mark Roussey explains, We meet every week at a different person ' s house. We talk about parents, drugs, anything we might have problems facing. We also do things like hayrides and bananna split parties. Students don ' t lead the discussions completely by themselves. They get help from Greg Crim, Campus Life Sponsor. Campus Life isn ' t exclusive to Nor- throp. There are branches at various high schools throughout the community. Meet- ings are open to all high school students from freshmen to seniors. — Shannon Hagerty Pass the chocolate!
