new business I I ' joined the Business Club because l have taken business classes and have really enjoyed them, said Laura Deck, senior. There were many reasons that students joined the Business Club, but the main reason was to learn more about business. The purpose of the Business Club was to see how businesses run in the country. The advisors of the club were Karla Maez and Kevin Pat- terson. The president was senior Amy Grammer and the vice president was senior Danny Cota. Basically, we were trying to reform the club because we thought the Business Club had more potential then had been show thus far, said Danny Cota, senior. One activity that the Business Club worked on was a charity event for Easter. The club made Easter baskets and donated them to people at Lanterman State Hospital. Before they delivered the baskets, the officers of the club went to the hospital to see what it was like. We didn't want this event to be blindly charitable. l'm really glad we did this because it was an eye-opening ex- perience, said senior Donte Henry. I The Business Club met every Thursday at lunch, and were very dedicated to the ac- tivities of the club. Our goal is to get everybody in school a leg up in the business world. Whether you plan to be in the business field or not, business knowledge will always be a valuable tool later on in life, concluded Cota. 4 GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS - Business club advisor Karla Maez prepares for the meeting.

To get a letter or not to get a letter, was the Thespian Club's question. The Thespian Club was an international drama organization which consisted of the most experienced drama members on campus. ' 'fThey're the stars of the drama program, commented Mack ' Gilliland, drama coach. To get into the club, the student must have completed at least 225 hours of drama work. Due to the heavy requirements of the club, the members felt that they should have received a varsity letter. I feel that it is a good idea that we get letters because we i l dfserve recognitionf' said senior Anita Paryani, secretary of the l c ub. Certain criteria had to be met before the student could receive a letter. Some of the criteria included that the student had to be an official member of the Thespian Club, and they also had to have been in two major plays. H According to drama coach, Gilliland, it was a good idea for students to get letters because they spent as much time practicing as athletics did. Aside from working on getting letters, the - N Thespian Club was also practicing for the State .,u, Conference. The conference was held at Cypress l College in the month of February. The Thespian N members spent many hours getting ready for the 5 many workshops that were presented there. li i l l 0 l l j l j 1 l -xi , is 7 r I KNOW I CAN - Junior Don Nyal looks toward another performance.
