eer Counseling and Maranatha , - were clubs that encouraged members to care for and understand themselves and others. These clubs were based on people revealing their innermost thoughts in a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. They also allowed an individual to take time out from life's everyday demands and be listened to by understanding people. According to Pat Croner, an advisor for Peer Counseling, the purpose of Peer Counseling was to have students available to help other students in a confidential manner to handle personal, peer, and family problems of a non life-threatening nature. The club was also available to welcome new students, tutor, and host on-campus programs pertaining to teenage topics. Some of their activities Members of Maranatha Club include L. Yik, C. lenierg, A. Hurley, G. Hart, K. Dalenberg, M. Morton, L. Adams, A. Gayer, I. Heiner, 5. lones, 1. Gayer, S. Hsi, B. Nichols, and T. Hutchinson. Mara- natha was a club which re- flected religious as well as secular beliefs. W Sin leton, 1. Hood, G.

Larry Bushner, Nancy Johnsen, and Tom johnsen were other club advisors, and Diane Gehart was the Peer Counseling chairman. The advanced group of 'Peer Counseling was a great way to help others while learning about yourself, too.' - Melinda Klayman -iii counselors met Thursdays during lunch and the new group, which was trained in part by the advanced group, met Mondays during lunch. Similar to Peer Counseling, Maranatha was a club where one could comfortably share his feelings with other people. Common occurrences in Maranatha were discussing topics and stories from a Biblical viewpoint, as well as current events. For example, they discussed creation, evolution, miracles, and the reasons behind them. Furthermore, all of the members cared about the problems their fellow members had, and it was definitely a place where you could open up and share your feelings. Gordon Hart, invited guest speakers such as former students. Maranatha met every Wednesday at lunch and always welcomed new members. Other advisors included Linda Adams and Gloria Burrus. As anyone can see, Peer Counseling and Maranatha were clubs that valued a person for his individual worth. -Steve Rich sara.-. ., . -.---vw.
