The lure of the wild blue yonder drew the Flying Club members to room 416 once each month. Mr. Al Hoffman and President Bret Humphries ar- ranged several exciting field trips. First stop — Tor- rance Airport Control Tower; second stop — Orange County Air Museum, where members saw the flying machines of the 1800 ' s; third stop — Weather Bu- reau, where they learned about hazards pertaining to flying; Fourth stop — Redondo H.S.

Snow-capped mountains drew students to one of California ' s best loved sports, skiing. The Ski Club helped promote skiing by offering films to all students on campus. The films taught members the techniques and safety rules of skiing without going to the snow. They cut down the risk of a skier get- ting hurt on his first Ski Trip. The films also showed, for more advanced members, the art of rescue, jumping, and racing. Kaulukukui, D. Oliver; (third row) : S. Stanfield, T. Clark, L. Johns, J. Galloway, K. Topel, P. Rogers, N.

Aglaia members strike a graceful pose as they might for one of their grand finales. The members are (top) L. Nehring, R. C:urry, J. Acre, L. Beverly, C). Carter, D. Rios, I. King, D. Deschaine: (middle) L. Waters, D. V ' ogler, L. Rotholz, L. Ditta, L. D ' Ambrosi, S. Svoboda; (bottom) J. Brown (Treas. ), B. Watson (Pres. ), L. Wheatcroft (V. Pres.), and K. Bautista (Sec). From Can-Cans to Modem Jazz Terpsichoreans Saddle-Up for Dance Honors A running angel. the hand shake. and the back-bend leap were name.s of several modern dance steps practiced by Aglaia members at their weekly workouts. Aglaia was formed for the primary purpo.se of enabling girls interested in dance to learn routines and to express their creative abilities in an atmosphere unhindered by grades. While not in- volved in club activities, such as practicing dance lifts with the Weightlifting Club or preparing for one of the school assemblies, many of the members found themselves engrossed in a busy exchange of nickles and dimes at the concession stand during football season. The profits made went toward schol- arships awarded to the best dancer and financing Orchesus. This newly formed club consisted of the outstanding dance students and stage crew members. With balance, grace, and fingers crossed, Kathi Garner exhibits a new lift as she is assisted by t)rchesus sponsor, Mr. Ron Miller. Orchesus members (top to bottom): S. Keating, L. D ' .Ambrosi, C. Banach, T. Carter, R. Gourley, L. Cobabe, and M. McDaniels were required to earn a total of 250 points in dance or stage activities. The members must have attended school dance productions, belonged to Aglaia or the Weightlifting Club, worked on make-up, stage crew, or publicity, had satisfactory citizenship, and must have been a mem- ber of the production class. Extra points were gained through assist- ing in a dance class, tr ing out for shows, making costumes, and at- tending outside dance programs as well as dance classes.

Communication has developed from smoke sig- nals to bouncing sound waves off of satellites. The Radio Club didn ' t bounce any sound waves, but it did offer a Morse Code class that taught the facts necessaiy to obtain a ham radio license. After ob- taining their licenses, .students broadcast and re- ceived sports event messages from other schools. The more advanced members also built a computer and radar set.

Meanwhile club members look on with amusement, certain that both officers are off their boob tube. Balls rolling and pins clashing were familiar sounds to members of the Bowling Club. The club, one of the larger groups on campus, had a good workout each Thursday after school at the South Bay Bowling Center, where it enjoyed special rates. The more active members of the club also formed a Bowling Team and practiced several times a week. The team participated in several tournaments under the direction of Mr. Curran and Mr. Draper. M.
