Take the goals of community involvement and service, add in a little hard work and a lot of fun and you have the ingredients for ser- vice clubs such as the Rotary sponsored In- teract and the Kiwanis sponsored Key Clubs. The Interact club established itself as a ser- vice club through participation in communi- ty events and social service. Under the advi- sorship of Miss Masters, they have set a trend that will be hard to follow. As if these hard workers were not enough, a new kid on the block was the community service oriented Key Club. Their advisor was the new Career Center Coordinator, Ms. Warn. One thing that makes Key Club differ- ent according to Ms. Warn is, our member- ship is by application only. Our school represented the country of Chad in the UCR Model UN conference which is probably the largest and best at- tended conference of this type. Model UN advisor, Bill Payne revealed, I consider this an open forum for students to discuss inter- national issues, but for them it ' s just interest- ing. Charter member of the club, Phil Sum- mers worked very hard to prepare for the UCR conference and was partially responsi- ble for their outstanding performance. Being a foreign exchange student can be very exciting, and going to school with American kids can be quite a challenge. Third year exchange student Sanae Fujimoto said, The people here are more independent than in Japan, but I really like the school, teachers, and my friends. Another ex- change student from Japan is Aya Kato. When asked how she liked being an ex- change student, she replied, I like it, but it is very different. The studies are harder in ja- pan and they don ' t have any parties in high school. Key Club members Gay Ramsey. Janette Doughton. and Charlene Petrasek, proudly display their flag during Club Day. Third year foreign exchange student from Ja- pan. Sanae Fujimoto was crowned Winter Homecoming queen. Exchange students Aya Kato from Japan and Cea- sar Martinez from Spain enjoy life in America.

The twenty plus members of the Renais- sance Club were charged with raising funds and keeping the Festival on our minds throughout the year. They helped put on yet another electrifying Festival on May 9. Mr. and Mrs. Walker and Mr. Burch were the cre- ative and dedicated sponsors of this club whose goal was to make the celebration of the Queen Elizabeth Renaissance era an en- joyable one for all students. Fund raisers in- cluded bake sales and cake walks. The stu- dents even signed up to clean house and were auctioned to faculty members to be slaves. Just imagine swooshing down the slopes of Lake Tahoe, Mammoth, or enjoying the beau- tiful surroundings of Utah! Well, if this sounds fun, then the Ski Club is for you. There were about 25 members and they were guided by Mrs. Prescott. During Christmas vacation, they went on a ski trip to Utah. Park City and Snowbird were just two of the resorts they visited there. When asked about the trip, kamikaze skiier Shawn Pitt- man claimed, It was one of the most excit- ing skiing trips I ' ve ever been on! Selling pencil decorations during Halloween and Christ- mas at Mrs. Walker ' s direction, helped the Renaissance Club earn funds. The club member slave sale with famous auctioneer, Mr. Kielty, gave big spender, Mr. Ford, some students to clean out the English book room. Ski Club Renaissance
