Vietnamese Club Keeps Tradition Going Every year, Edison High School administered from five to ten Viet- namese students, and the number l eeps increasing each year. Though the club has long been present on campus, it was never as fully active as this year. Because of the numer- ious Vietnamese students in school plus the incoming ones, the purpose of the club is to unite all the Viet- namese together, and to aid the new enrollees in adjusting to the school system both in and out of the classroom. In addition, the club abd the members try to retain the tradi- tional holidays and customs by par- ticipating with other Vietnamese clubs of nearby schools. But most importantly, the club ' s purpose is to share the Vietnamese culture and bridge the gap of understanding be- tween the other American students with the Vietnamese in school. The idea of the club is centered around helping each other and shar- ing the culture, so there is no com- petition or challenge involved; how- ever, an award may be given to the member who shows a true spirit for club activities, of if in sports, the most valuable player. f • Girls involved in the club (Top; perform traditional Vietnannese dances.

Clubs Create Interest While attending Edison, the students tound that getting involved in a club was probably one of the best ways to forget about the hussle and bussle of school. Clubs ranged fronn AFS to the Ski Club to the very popular P.R.I. D.E. Club, which promoted school spirit. The Key Club, which was for boys only, and the Keywanettes, composed of girls, showed much effort in helping the community and doing many other local services. Other clubs do many projects on campus such as the Woodworking Club, Electronics Club, and the Com- puter Club. Some clubs, which re- quired some sort of skill to get in, were the Tuba Club, Quill and Scroll, and the Spanish Honor Society. Getting in- volved in a club was really one of the best ways to fight off that hussle and bussle of E.H.S. Alice Becker (above) relaxes after an AFS ban- quet.
