Softball games were held on Sundays, giving Torrey Pines Interact members an opportunity to compete against the chapters from other high schools, Through the year, Interact proved themselves o service club were personal growth was a result of community efforts. - Elaine Waldmen he Torrey Pines Table Tennis Assocl ation has gone through many changes rn its short history lt saw its country runners who wanted to find a sport that didnt require brains brawn and especially running. But it did not become a reality until one of the runners decided, What the , l need something to put down on my college application! At first the purpose of the club was to play the lazy man's sport of ping pong, but the club soon increased its activities ininclude tackle football and search and destroy waterballon wars. These battles took place on local golf courses at night and were a high point of the meetings until several sherrifs discouraged these aggressive conflicts. As one can imagine,the words Dont move or l'll have to shoot! , are quite persuasive. But we could not let this interfere with our nightly military expeditions for fear that we sould suffer withdrawal symptoms from the adrenalln highs that accompany these adventures. So we con- tinue, oonstantly on the lookout for other aggres- sive men in uniform, equipped with guns and 7 pound flashlights. The club that started out as just an excuse for some friends to get together on weekends, has origins as a joke of several cross- OVER 14 MEMBERS, plus several part-time DCNICI' pants. The Torrey Pines Table Tennis Association is certainly one of the more unique clubs, and possible one of the most exhilarating ever! - Erik Johnson

For several years, The exislence of The club was ThreaTened by whaT The adminisTraTion Termed unaccepTable behavior on The ski Trips. The adminisTraTion refused To supporf The coniroversial club, so sponsorhsip was Transferred To The Boy ScouTs of America. For The mosT pari, sTudenTs followed The Boy ScouT's regulafions, and for a while, The issue of whefher The club would conTinue or noT was dropped. JusT when if seemed fairly cerTain ThaT The club would continue, iTs exisTence was ThreaTened by a new problem: The lack of sTudenT enthusiasm for The ski club. AfTer years of sTudenT inTeresT keeping The club alive, The absence of enfhusiasm was surprising, but quiie obvious. Four Trips were cancelled This year. including The four-day Trip To Lake Tahoe, because noi enough sTudenTs signed up. When The Ski Club was scheduled To have iTs yearbook phoTo Taken, only eighl members showed up. Said Senior club member Mark DeWeese. This reflecls The lack of sTudenT enThusiasm. We had several posTers up announcing The phoTo and we even called many people To remind Them. Those sTudenTs who did aTTend club Trips and meeiings were very disappoinfed Thai The club has a dismal-looking fuiure. Said Brian Lang, DisconTinuing The club is a preTTy sfupid idea. l know ThaT a lol of sTudenTs are inTeresTed in going on Trips, even if iT doesn'T seem Thai way. Despite The lack of inTeresT in The club, The sTudenTs ThaT did Travel wiTh The ski club on The Trips could noT help buT enjoy Themselves. A Trip To Brianhead in IaTe aufumn was aTTended by sophomores Brandy Smifh and Mandy BenedicT. Over The winier holidays, forly-Three skiers wenf To Park CiTy UTah. We wenf To four differef mounTains in Park Cify. The variefgwas greaT! said Lang. Presideni Jason Moli sTaTed ThaT genera ly sTudenTs were cooperaTive, although noT all reguIaTions were followed. Tara Baldwin elaboraTed, Some guys were Throwing raisins oul of The hofel window, and a conference was called because anoTher guesT complained. ln March, skiers Took The 24 hour bus ride To Sun Valley idaho. There sTudenTs sfayed in large, luxurious condominiums complete wiTh fireplaces, balconies. and a view of The The slopes. A fourTh Trip To MammoTh cosT only abouT S90 per skier. These successful Trips noTwiThsTanding, The exisTence of The SKT Club remains queslionable. Advisor Debbie EliioT will noT lead The club nexT yeOr since her efforfs, and Those of club officers To enTice more skiers To join, seem fulile. iT is impossible To gei chaperones and skiers. We have almosf no suppofl form The adminisTraTion. I love The kids, and The Trips,H EIIioT said, 'lBuT l'm geTTing Too old for The headaches. - Angela Hastings
