That's what the Physics Club was all about. Launched two years ago by students who were interested in science, namely physics, the club in- reased its number of members by almost five times this ear. Club advisor, Mr. Oberle said, It's a nice way for Ludents who like physics, but don't have the class, to get igetherf' Club president was Shane Cooper, vice president 'as Jim Orten, treasurer was Shelby Heitman, secretary was ashel Mereness Publicity was Paula Glade, and activities irector was Nahn Vu. The club got involved in different ctivities which included many field trips, the two big trips of the year were Magic Mountain Day and the Laserium. Magic Mountain Day was for Physics Clubs all over the Orange County, and included many physics related games and contests at the park. At the Laserium, the laser show was a big event. These activities even lured students, outside the club, to participate. Obviously Physics Club allowed an entertaining and interesting way to learn science. Shane Cooper commented, I enjoyed being in the club because there were a lot of people there who enjoyed physics and could recognize that science could be fun. gp W1 Physics Club 5

Turning at the sound of hearing her name i Club Advisor, Ms. Schick. As French teache she encouraged many of her students to joi the club. Club Advisor, Tina Livingstone shows Emil Lopez where the Christmas Party was goir to be held. The Christmas Party was a nic time to learn about how other cultures cell ' brated Christmas. Culture come together hinese New Year? Oktoberfest? Mardi Gras? Cinco de Mayo? Many may have wondered what these things were this year, but not those in International Club. One of the most successful clubs on campus, the club main- tained a steady membership of sixty to seventy people. Many teachers helped in the planning of activities, but the main three advisors were Ms. Schick, Ms. Blanchard, and Ms. Livingstone. We got the idea for this club, because as three small clubs student participation was not very high, except for the ac- tivities which included all three clubs, commented Ms. Schick, The International Club provided a way to bring together the French, Spanish, and German clubs, but was not limited to only people who took or had been taking foreign language. International Club Junior Aaron Orullion said, I had a lot of fun in the clu because it gave more variety and wasn't limited to just o culture's holiday. Besides those mentioned at the beginnin other festivities included: El Dia de Los Muertos, the Chris mas Party, International Week, foreign exchange students a guest speakers, as well as other speakers from the commun ty, and of course the year end banquet. When asked if she was enjoying it, Ms. Schick replied, I' really happy with the club being international. Not only d it give a wider range of teacher leadership but stude participation remained quite encouraging throughout tl year. Hopefully things will remain just as encouragir through the years! :-

The number of teenage pregnancies increased greatly every year, and most of the teenage girls who became pregnant and attended school were not employed. The girls found that they were faced with three options, all of which would impact the rest of their life. Their options were abortion, giving the baby up for adoption, or keeping the baby. Out of the girls who did not terminate their pregnancy, the majority of them decided to keep their babies, which was the beginning of a new life for the teenage mother. If a girl made the decision to keep her baby, she usually has to drop out of school. Without earning a high school diploma, the girl could usually only get minimum wage work, some could not even find a job and had to go on welfare. For eight years the El Dorado Student Mother program had helped make a teenage mother's life a little easier. The main purpose of the program was to allow teenage mothers the chance to finish high school and earn their diplomas. The program also provided instruction for the care of their babies. The girls got a chance to discuss their feelings openly about the problems of being a teen parent. The girls knew that their babies were in good hands while they were at school. The program provided food, diapers, transportation, and, most im- portantly, advice. Ms. D'Arcy, the advisor, was not just a teach- er, she was a friend that the mothers could confide in. Accord- ing to Ms. D'Arcy, the girls felt confident that their babies were being well taken care of in a loving and caring way. Q Ernesto sits patiently while he waits for his mommy to return.
