AFS HEADS FOR HOUSTON The AFS (American Field Ser- vice) Club met once a month to initiate and foster student ex- change programs. A highlight of the year was a short term ex- change with Stratford High School in Houston, Texas. During the fall and winter AFS club members met with their sponsor, Mr. Robert Snee, to discuss travel arrange- ments for the February 21st-26th trip. In March Stratford students visited George Mason. Mr. Snee and ten juniors and seniors flew via People’s Express to Houston where they were greeted During a French Club meeting, Ms. Alim considers plans for a party with the club members.

THE BRAINS For many “brainy” students, the challenges of their scheduled aca- demic classes weren't sufficient. They joined clubs that challenged their brains. The Computer Club, sponsored by Ms. Barbara Bussey and Mr. Mi- chael Driscoll, opened up the computer room to club members for a designated period of time ev- ery day after school. Monsey Fer- guson said, “I like the club because we have special time in the com- puter room when no one else can use it.’’ Club members either worked on their own programs or competed in computer contests. The Science Club, sponsored by Dr. (“Doc’’) William Robertson, met monthly to enrich students’ knowledge of an interest in the sciences. Students performed ex- periments and worked on pro- jects. The Math Team, sponsored by Ms. Nancy Williamson, met several times a month to review math skills and practice problem solving under competitive conditions. It participated in the Fairfax County Inter-high Math League through March. Using the blackboard, Dr. William Robert- son solves a scientific equation with junior J6rg Dobisch and senior Rob Munoz.
