Freshman Kirk Davis' rocket soars up into the wild blue yonder at the last rocket club meeting. Ski Club A Popular Choice Among Students With the arrival of winter and heavy snow, the time had come for yet another club; the ski club. Anyone could join. The chance was there for veterans and be- ginners alike. In the words of advisor Mr. Rick Nirshl, math teacher, it was set up to offer students the op- portunity to learn a sport they could continue the rest of their life. The club was well-liked by its members. Said fresh- man Krissy Ressigue, We got to go skiing with our friends, and it was a great time. It was better this time because it was easier to ski than my first time. Ninth grader Amy Dolinar stated her reason for liking the club, I thought it was neat that our school has a club where anyone can join. The members all agreed that it was a very fun experi- ence. Freshman Shone Fegan said this about the ski club, it was really fun because i was with all my friends. Amy Dolinar spoke of her experience. i was really looking forward to it. I thought it was scary at First, but after i went down a few hills it was easy. And so it was that this year's snowy adventure came to an end. Was it worth it? To the students, yes. 106 124 i5: ' 3w Ni, Industrial Arts teacher Mr. Robert Steinbrecher and Freshman Art Mowrer examine one of Art's rockets at a rocket club meeting.

French and Spanish Clubs Use New Skill Parlez-vous francaris? comment t' appelles-tu? Oulhabits-tu?, or how about, divertido, manejar, and? cuantas? These are just a few of the many words the French and the Spanish students learned and the French and Spanish clubs gave them a chance to use their skills. To practice their new found skills, the Spanish club went to some Mexican restuarants and to Cedar Point. While the French Club went to Canada during Spring break, where they visited such cities as Montreal and Quebec. Both clubs sold candy for all the different activities. The money that was earned for the trips and other activities was earned during the school day with candy sales. Both clubs also had a Christma party either in the French or Spanish tradition. Val Decker, Spanish student commented, til thought the party was really fun and I love the Spanish tradition during Christmas time. The Spanish club meetings wer held in room I, but because of the large number of people in the French club, the meetings were held in room 35. Ms. Snow said, The meetings were held once a month and lasted about a half hour to forty-five minutes after school. During this time, we talked about the activities we planned. Megan Jenkins stated, I thought the French Club was fun and we did a lot of fun things. freshman Julie Pelweckl sells candy for French Club during 5a unch. 105

$5 This kind of weather brought joy to the ski club members as they prepared for their trip to the snowy slopes of Alpine Valley. Rocket Club A Blast Say Club Members The industrial arts and rocket club may have been new, but it was an instant success nonetheless. Anyone was able to join. The club was set up on a come-in-and-work basis, with interested students working on rockets and projects 'til 4:00 after school. The meetings were held in the shop room, while Mr. Steinbrecher watched over the activities. The club was formed because, in the words of indus- trial arts teacher, Mr. Robert Steinbrecher, i1 thought itd be an enjoyable thing for the kids after school, since I know there are a lot of kids with rockets for a hobby. Students joined the club for avariety of reasons. Said freshman Darrel Skeins I wanted to make more shop projects while i was in drafting. Ninth grader John Sherman joined because . . . I wanted more time to work on rockets; to rebuild. Ninth grader Kirk Davis just went . . . to get first-hand experience. The rocket club was popular with all the members, though again the reaons for liking the' rocket club varied. Ninth grader Art Mowrer states his reason for liking the club, I liked it because I was grounded and it was better than staying home. Ninth grader John Sher- man enjoyed . . . Just the time to work on rockets. Freshman Brian Oberle patiently waits for the tail fins of his rocket to dry during a meeting of the Rocket Club.
