Vocational Industrial Clubs of America VICA Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (or VICA) club members were involved in many school activities in- stigating numerous dances that instilled both happiness and a feeling of belonging to all. VICA members also participated in a Rogue Community College Skills Day and the State Skills Olympics in Salem. Greg Rathburn took sixth place in the State Competition competing against the top 50 mechanics students in the state. The best aspect of the VICA club, however, is the ac- tual job experience that the members receive. Donations from cooperative customers are received from jobs finished to keep the VICA program productive. Although there were many members active in the club, the offers will be the only people acknowledge in the VICA tribute. In the president’s position Chuck An- son called the shots, aided by Vice-President Mark Camp. The Treasurer for VICA was Greg Rathburn while his cousin Don Rathburn was secretary and Jim Barnes filled the position of Parlimentarian. Left to Right: Richard Blunk. Lloyd Underwood, Jim Barnes.

Honor Society The Honor Society is based on four principles: scholarship, character, service, and leadership. This means the people who are accepted must have much more than the 3.4 minimum grade point average. They have to have the grades, personality, be willing to give of themselves, and be able to take constructive charge of things. The Honor Society displayed its helpfulness this year by organizing the job-a-thon, which was a complete suc- cess, especially with the efforts of senior Honor Society member Mary Krauss. This year has been hard work for them, including their annual induction, but prospects for next year look even better! Row 1: Susan Almond. Kathy O’Neil. Joyce Porter, Nancy Miller.

Literary Magazine A Literary Magazine is a major undertaking. It entails recruiting and organizing poetry, essays, short stories and artwork. The purpose of the magazine is to give students an opportunity to see their name in print and give them incentive to continue striving to express themselves in a creative manner. All who submitted their work contributed greatly to the success of the magazine. Editor Gina Miller deserved special recognition for her tireless efforts of artwork and layout. Advisor Steve Barrett was proud of the entire staff and was pleased with the final product. Row 1: Lori Berry, Maia Davis, Gina Miller, Robyn Haluser, Nada Lulic, Kelly, Steve Barrett. 19
