It may have sounded impossible, but with the aid of books and television shows the Science Fiction Club successfully accomplished their task. They also attended movies, lectures, and conventions when their funds allowed. Three members of the club, Jay Cramblet, Jennifer Spevacek, Jim Robertson, and the co-sponsor Ms. Unkel, attended a Star Trek Convention in August at the University of Maryland. At one of the bi-weekly meetings, Diane Webb points out the book’s highlights which catch her eye. Clubs and Organizations 43

Up, up, and don’t look down! The Highlife Club was busy doing things and going places during the Bicentennial year. The clubs sponsor Mrs. Gray, and the president, Steve Bishop, arranged and set up for weekend excursions to places such as Old Rag Mountain and trips on the Appalachian Trail. The trips took place on 2 to 3 day weekends and school vacations. The club members went mountain climbing and backpacking. Near the end of the day the members would set up plastic tarps under which they would place their sleeping bags and equipment. The club managed to plan their own meals and organize their trips from time of arrival to time of departure. They all felt that the trips were a great experience and that all their hard work was well worth-while.

Project A.Y.D. “Assisting Youth Development,” was an activity of the Fairfax County Red Cross Chapter’s Youth Program. The program was developed to provide sixth grade students with answers to questions they might have concerning drugs, drinking, smoking, the laws connected with these subjects, and any other anxieties which they felt related to high school. The team members of the program underwent training every Wednesday night which included sessions on leadership training, drugs and rehabilitation, the laws and their application in Fairfax County, and alcohol and tobacco. The A.Y.D. members coordinated and planned programs with the sixth grade teachers in order to relay information to the students and managed a “rap” session with them on subjects of their own choosing. r t r Bolfom Rotiin Twedt, Nancy Martin, Pam Hillary.

The class of ’77 moved into orbit this year by starting off with a car wash at Phillips 66 in September, which brought in money for the junior class fund. This fund was the basis of the payment for the junior prom and the junior ring breakfast which were both held during junior week at the end of April. In order to improve class spirit and identify the class of ’77 as being special, the juniors ordered “space cadet T-shirts” and wore them at athletic and casual events. As ctess spirit rose, so did new ideas for expressing it. During November, colleotions were taken for the making of the junior class flag. The proof ot the flag shows the juniors enthusiasm in supporting their class. Directing the Band is Betsy Thompson — President, Dennis Stewart — Treasurer, Regina Teffery — Secretary, John Warren — Vice President. Full of the anticipation of buying junior class rings in December, Brian Lee carefully scrutinizes his ring pamphlet for one that suits him. 44 Clubs and Organizations
