Space oriented video games were very popular to the Apple Users club. EXPANDING THEIR MINDS Computers are the basis for both the Apple Users and the Science Club. ENTER - - For Apple Users it stands for: Apple Programming, People, for Learning and Enjoyment. The Apple Users Club allowed students the use of the computers. They worked with the computers for outside activities as well. Consisting of 18 to 20 members, they did more than just play games. The club traded software, a type of programming disc, learned the basics in ac- counting and budgeting and held computer game tournaments. The tournaments were games where the Apple Users played against each other for a Dr. Pepper. RUN — Computers are fun! Computers are fun! Computers are fun! — Jeanine Twyford (Pres.) Refreshments! Refreshments! What ' s this? Science Club members selling refreshments during basketball games and wrestling match- es? In order to make enough money for trans- portation. Science Club members tried raising money for their field trip to the Griffith Park Observatory and Laserium, a laser light show. Not only was the club designed for such activities as the Laserium show and the Griffith Park Observatory trip, the Science Club gave the students who were interested in science a chance to gather and share ideas together. During the field trip the club also had a chance to see the stars with a very large telescope. They also experienced Laserium where rock music ran through the theater.

Choir had a slow beginning, but it had a fantastic ending! Chamber singer Suzy Macrae. Late night reahersals, after school soloists, and lunch time choir classes enhanced a successful year of singing for the Chamber and Brahma Singers. The beginning of the musical year consisted of only one choir, Brahma singers. In the hour class everyday Brahma singers were taught new and better techniques of singing in means of breathing and posture, this led to many excellent concerts such as Christmas Is and Cabaret Night performances. Soon after the Brahma Singers were settled into their choir classes, Larry Cline advisor of both choirs, de- cided to form a new choir group, the Chamber Singers. When I looked for students for Chamber Singers I looked for voices, personal- ity, and experience, commented Mr. Cline. Students tried out for the group during lunch and after school until Mr. Cline finally selected 1 5 couples for the choir. Until second semes- ter there weren ' t any school classes for the Chamber Singers, so the students compro- mised by gathering during lunch and some evenings after school to learn the music for both singing and dancing. Chamber Singer Larry Dillard commented, It seemed to take so much time getting Chamber Singers to- gether to sing, people were everywhere during lunch but in the choir room practicing. But once the class started during second semes- ter, everything was rolling along just fine! Together the choir classes had many fun- draisers such as singing telegrams during Val- entines Day, a jelly bean contest just before Christmas, and a Dill pickle sale during the Variety Food Day to pay for special effects at concerts, dance instructors, and instrumental- ists. Participation in Chamber and Brahma Sing- ers practically doubled through the course of the year. This in itself was proof enough to show how successful the choirs ' year had been. The choirs have been just great for their first year, commented Chamber and Brahma Singer Elva Padilla, And I know it ' s going to get even better! - ' ' V- ► Chamber Singers. Front Row: Jane Rhee.
