Giving Out Oasis and FCA Share a Part of Themselves Don’t talk, be quiet! These were the usual commands ex- pressed by teachers, but in Oasis and Fellowship of Christian Ath- letes, members were afforded the opportunity to share their feelings about God and the part He plays in their lives. Although separation of church and state was controversial in terms of prayer in school. Oasis and FCA managed to overcome the obstacle by meeting as clubs during lunch. The members were able to openly discuss their ideas about religion at the meeting with- out forcing their opinions on any- one. Their main purpose was to con- centrate on personal growth with- in each of the clubs members. Da- vid Paul commented, The joy of Oasis was sharing in God’s place in each person’s life. Oasis experienced more com- munity awareness than in past years by inviting guest speakers to the meetings. On the other hand, Fellowship of Christian Athletes provided necessities for needy families at Christmas time, and was visited by the musical group, Undercover . The uniqueness of these clubs came from the fact that students could feel free to talk about their beliefs and personal, spiritual ex- periences. Design by Phi Nguyen and Pam De- Cain.

Sleuth 'n’ Search Sherlock Holmes and Science Clubs Detect and Explore New Ideas You’re walking down a dark, foggy street wondering who killed Mr. Rockefeller, a rich tycoon. You suspect it could be the maid, his nephew, or the butler, but you be- lieve it was the nephew. Why? This was the scene pictured in the new Sherlock Holmes Society. They took on a new case each week and attempted to solve it de- ductively. Although the Science Ecology and Sherlock Holmes clubs were worlds apart, both clubs very much enjoyed a mystery. The Science Ecology club stud- ied Arizona. One of the field trips was to Saguaro National Monu- ment and the Sonora Desert Mu- seum where they studied the mysteries of nature. I would like this to be a club where students can go on trips with different sci- ence teachers and get a chance to learn about different areas of sci- ence from people who specialize in those areas,” commented Ms. Parr. The Science Ecology club was very different than the Sherlock Holmes club, but the concept was still the same. Both clubs wanted to expand their campus roles and hopefully, reach other individuals.
