Varsity Club for boys; girls stay with FCA Boys Varsity Club was once known as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes but they changed their club name and no longer conducted meetings on the school premises. This was because of a decision by the Supreme Court. Sponsor and Treasurer Coach Fyke says, “We do not intend to fight this situation. We are going to follow the guidlines outlined by our administration, but I feel we can continue to grow.” The boys F.C.A. has proved itself successful participating in projects such as a stadium clean-up, selling conscnssions at athletic events, and a car wash. Girls Fellowship of Christian Athletes made the decision to keep their original name. “Changing the name is going against what the club stands for,” says Mrs. Marti Hatfield. The girls are no longer allowed to meet at school. This year the girls F.C.A. has been successful in their bake sales, a car wash, and a Jog-A-Thon for the Heart Association. by Rhonda Brookshire F.C.A. meeting at Mark Shindlcr's. P.

Members share love of performana The Speech and Drama Club is a combined organization that involves students from both fields of study. Both speech and drama share a love for performance and hard work. This year, Elsik has built a strong chapter of the National Forensic League, which is a national speech organization. Sponsor, Ms. Corolyn DeLccour comments. “1 am very excited about the growth of the National Forensic League. When a student is eligible for NFL membership, it reflects a great deal oftime and work. We started out with two members and now have eleven. With this kind of energy and dedication. 1 see great things ahead for Elsik Speech students.” Thespians is also a national organ- ization that recognizes talented and hard working drama students. During the spring, the beginning of Thespian initiation began for new- members. Mr. Neil St. Clair also sponsors the speech and drama club. This is his last year at Elsik and he will be missed very much. by Laurie Boydstun The outstanding cast of “Trifles . Anne Beveroth, Lujean Krcisner. Chris Ayers.
