County representative Kristy Geiger gains in- put from Kathy Hasset on unexcused absence penalties. Setting Standards This year, the SAC (Student Ad- visory Council) was more active then ever before. Members met once a month to discuss issues affec- ting the student body. Among the topics discussed were substance abuse, t-shirts bearing beer slogans and the penalties concerning unexcus- ed absences. The members spent many hours meeting with area SACs and students to discuss ways in which to solve problems within the school. In ad- dition, a substance abuse committee was organized to help find solutions to prevent and control drug and alcohol consumption. Ideas presented by the committee helped to form the illegal substance rules listed in the school pamphlet. Although the SAC wasn’t able to influence all rules, the group managed to contribute a great deal to the welfare of every student. SAC members Vince Santivieca, Trent Kubo and Kristy Geiger discuss the illegal substance rules. Before a meeting with area schools. Kristy Geiger and Trent Kubo discuss the agenda with Mr. Bailey.

Out Of This World Students with an interest in scien- tific research, discussion or lab experiments were urged to join the Science Club. The club covered a wide variety of sciences ranging from astronomy to physics. Experiments, lectures and guest-speakers were com- mon occurrences within the club, as students became better acquainted with the many studies. During the se- cond semester, a telescope was pur- chased and the astronomy club was formed. Members spent many evenings-, charting star patterns and moon phases. The results of the charts were later explained and discussed by the entire club. By the end of the year, members of both clubs had further in- creased their knowledge of astronomy and astrology.

Carlos Solares warms up during a pre game prac- tice. Paying Their Dues Before a tough competition with St. Stephens. Paul Busa perfects his skills. Unlike other athletic teams, Lacrosse was considered to be a club rather than a sport. Team members were required to pay equip- ment dues for the use of jerseys, crosses and safety gear. Dennis Stewart, sponsor of the club said, “Half of the county has to be active par- ticipants in order for Lacrosse to receive sport status. It'll take a while for that to happen. In the meantime, we’ll enjoy the competition.” Throughout the season, the club played highly regarded teams such as St. Stephens and DeMathis. Skill, ex- hibited during the games, proved that the club contained true athletic talent. By the end of the year, the team had demonstrated that Lacrosse was a sport in all but a name.
