President of the self-defense club, Gordon Marantz added, it ' s partly fitness, but mostly an addition to your life. The art of self-defense was carried out by the advanced members of the self-defense club. They worked on different types of Martial Arts such as Kung Fu, Karate, and Tae Kwon Do. Putting on a demonstration is one of the activities they were involved in. Basic Karate forms were taught in the beginner sessions which lasted for ten weeks. Consist- ing of mostly boys, the group mastered ele- ments of Karate such as blocks, striking, and kicking. Watch out snow here we come! this was in the minds of the 120 ski club members before a ski trip to Snow Summit. With help from mother nature the ski season was ready and so were the skiers. Two or three trips were planned because of the early snow fall. The starting membership was $3.00 and later additional fees for the buses and rentals were added. This didn ' t make it inexpensive but didn ' t stop the fun either. I ' ve never been skiing before and I ' m really looking forwardjo it. Adriana Cracian, sophomore, said. ▲ MARTIAL ARTS are mastered by the more advanced members of the Self-Defnese Club, but both parts learned the art of Self-Defense. Jeff Venable and Joe Hamasaka demonstrate a kick and block. ▲ BURR-RR-RR.
