Fishing Club Strikes Again In the 1981-82 school year, a new club was formed on the El Dorado campus. It was then that some students realized that fishing takes a little more than luck and a great deal of patience. Together, Tom Bette, representative of Western Outdoors Publi- cations, and advisor Charles Titus brought this organization into existance. Now, after their second season, the El Dorado Fish Hawks Fishing Club has shown its abilities on and off-shore. We had three casting derbies and three major fishing trips this year, said club President Dave Sims, one bay fishing trip and two deep-sea trips out of Helgren ' s Landing in Oceanside. We also kept busy with some professional guest speakers, several film productions, and a rod building clinic. Many prizes and awards were given out at the club ' s awards banquet to the most out- standing Fisherman of the Year.

Seniors Who Know It All College representatives have been coming to El Dorado from the time school started, and now more than before. El Dorado students are in high demand because of their excellence in academics and athletics. Over the past two years, Mrs. Ann Test has reorganized the pro- gram of college recruitment at El Dorado by creating the College Advisory Council. This group, which consists of one representative from each Senior English class, meets with Mrs. Test twice a month to learn about coming visits by recruiters. These students then inform their classmates of these opportunities. Mrs. Test has expressed pleasure over the student responses to the council: We are 1 |i A ll m having more stu- dents coming to hear the college counselors; thus our students have a better picture of what college is all about before they go. That is what the Council is all about. Judy Van Den Bosch restrains herself from outbursts of joy be- cause sfie is so happy to be a member of the council Jim Pope and Lonnle Haralson ore as amazed by the wonder of college as they are by Sunny Delight.
