Go Mecha plans mura Media members began their active year by participating in the Homecoming parade. Dressed as clowns, club members rode on a colorful float and sold balloons to interested by-standers. By organizing a carwash, the club raised money toward the purchasing of club sweatshirts. They also sponsored the traditional Christmas dance which was very successful. Some of the cultural activities of the club included the organization of Cinco de Mayo festivities and the planning of a Mexican mural to be painted on the wall. Kk M 1 ' h i f ' .-Jm. 1.

Go climb a rock Trecking across mountain and desert ter- rain, scaling rocks, and repelling from cliffs were just a few of the ventures of the Bonita backpackers. The first excursion was a trip to Algiers Creek at San Gorgonio Mountains. The trip was very successful and almost perfect except for cold mornings and evenings . Anza Borrego was the locale of the second expedition. Both trips were two days and one night long. The group also planned a day hike . Several backpacker meetings were held, during which such necessary subjects as equipment, foods, cooking and safety on the trail were discussed. ■■ j» 1.
