,f,. ,-G ,-. ,, f-r fihe Ski Club and 1 the Frisbee lc Club were two great additions to Agoura. Club members had a lot of fun and established new friendships in the process. The Ski Club originated from a large student interest in skiing. The club was formed primarily for fun, but, as in all sports, there is also a competitive element. Sometimes the members race against each other, but occasionally they get together with other local schools for combined ski trips. Most of their trips were to ski slopes in Utah, but a special trip was planned to Taos, New Mexico, The Ski Club was a self- supported activity, meaning that the club members had to pay for the trips themselves. john Anderson, club advisor since 1971, explained that the whole ski club experience benefits the participants by , 1 building new comradeships and giving the skiiers a chance to develop skill. Around 1980, a student named Brett Mackinga came up to Mark Goldstein and asked him if he would supervise a frisbee club, and that's how it 'The frisbee club is great! I really enjoy it because I get a chance to meet more people and it's really good exercise.' -Brad Lyerla all started. Goldstein feels that even though the frisbee club is a competitive group, having fun is the main objective. With no other local schools having frisbee clubs, most competition is between the club members themselves. For other challenges, the club has also played the Agoura football team, cross country team, and anyone else who wanted to have a ff,-N-X-A p j K. 1 fi l good time. An active participant, Brad Lyerla exclaimed, The frisbee club is great! I really enjoy it because I get a chance to meet more people and it's really good exercise. Frisbee was another self-supported activity, funded mainly by Goldstein and the club members. Members did receive group discounts for frisbees and wrist- bands at a local sporting goods store. The club also manned a booth at Mardi Gras to raise money for activities and equipment. Goldstein felt the frisbee club encouraged players to be a part of a sport with no academic eligibility required. The best part of being a member was participating in fast- paced games of ultimate during lunch on the Agoura soccer field. These games were a true athletic challenge and a chance to form new friendships. -jennifer Grossman 234 Ski Club glasser ga
