Members of Oasis put their beliefs into practice through service projects in the school and community. President Shawn Wal- stad described F.C.A. this way. “The ‘F’ stood for fel- lowship with students and coaches from all over the state. The ‘C’ which stood for Christians, was the cen- tral theme of the club. We strove to place Christ in the center of all we did. Finally, the ‘A’ stood for athletes. God shows us how to make the most of the talents He gave us.” Both Oasis and F.C.A. were a source of encourage- ment and friendship for the students who attended.

Two clubs added a splash of cre- ativity, originality, and color to the campus. One such club, the Visual Arts Promotion Associ- ation, VAPA, was estab- lished to promote student art on campus and in the community. VAPA was unique to Dobson and tried to increase its membership as well as getting more mem- bers involved. Some of its outstanding activities includ- ed art shows and sales, a fashion show stage set, and other Fiesta Mall projects.

Students interested in designing, modeling, or pho- tographing clothes were en- couraged to participate. Members worked all year to organize the year’s high- light, the annual fashion show. Despite the hard work required by members, they had time to become a closer group as they discov- ered their individuality. “Fashion Club isn’t about trends. It’s about wearing what you feel,” stated Khrystyna Brinkman, fashion show coordinator. Design by Allyson Bowman. Photos by Steve Dunstan.
