Correct positioning, perfect timing, great concentration. Now if only the ball hits the pins! As Mike Taranto releases his ball, he holds his breath in anticipation as it heads toward the gutter and suddenly angles out straight for the pins. As the balls thundered down the alleys and pins fell with a final slam of defeat, members of the bowling club took careful aim and let it roll! The club consisted of three man teams. These teams competed against other Fairfax school teams and their own for fun and unofficial categories. First Row: Kenny Jeffrey, Ricky Hill. Clinton Jeffrey. Sec¬ ond Row: Dwanda Patterson, Peaches Stevens, Regina Jef¬ fery, Julie Harrison. Third Row: Sharon Audry, Linda Chambers, Chelle Harrison, Andrea Mangrum, Trisha Hill.

The club members, with the help of their adviser, Mr. Johnson, organized an exhibition of art in celebration of black history week, during the second week in February. The paintings were borrowed from different un-named selected societies and the exhibition was open to the public. The club took a trip at the beginning of the year, to the Fredrick Douglas Museum. The trip was to see displays on Black American culture. (. ' lulls .mil ()rniiniz.ilions 77

f §)€!§ ll €@ Hours and days of practice enabled the V.I.C.A. Club, short for Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, to participate in many competitions. The auto mechanics branch of the club, sponsored by Mr. DeMalleville, competed in events such as a car rodeo and a car trouble shooting contest. The cosmetology division of the club, sponsored by Mrs. Sayers, raised funds on Wednesdays by offering shampoos, cuts, and ironcurls for $2.00 to students and teachers who were interested. The profit which was made went to pay for a trip to New York to view the International Hairstyling contest.

Ill It takes a lot of memorizing and practicing in order to oper¬ ate a ham radio. Ben White, Ken Bayne, and Bob Murphy seem to be keeping up with this art. d 6 u ?? yne il Stewart Wilkes - Steve Jones, Mayo Carrington, Tom Hoioos, Ben White Bob Murphy, John Milford, Robert Singleton, Tom Carpenter, Danny Magill, Peter Ohlhauer, Ken Gormally, Mr. Rodgers. Last November the members of the Amateur Radio Club revived a dying art, ham radios. After they obtained the equipment for the station the members built their own interface equipment, such as antennas and power consoles. In order to obtain their ham operator’s license, members needed a background in Electrical Theory and Radio Regulation and then memorized the Morse Code. The various frequencies enabled the amateur operator to talk to other amateur operators as far away as Spain, Puerto Rico, or Canada. In February 1976, amateur radio operators all over the United States were shocked when they were the only ones to receive a call for help after an earthquake in Guatemala, which killed over 18,000. For 24 hours they ran an information service to inform our government and the Guatemalan government of the disaster’s aftermath. At Lake Braddock Radio Club Members were on shifts to receive any further information concerning the earthquake.

Quill and Scroll provided an incentive for yearbook, literary magazine, and newspaper staff members. Members were chosen through class standing, and were recommended after having completed superior work in some phase of journalism on school publications. These students, inducted in the Spring, belonged to an international organization which increased their journalistic perspective. 78 Clubs and Organizations
