History Club Digging Up The Past In joining History Club, students have expected any amount of explo- ration as it relates to events past. Whether members contributed to the location of graves and the catalogu- ing of gravestones at Coats Bluff (as in 1986), or simply to the sponsorship of a history theme party (as in 1987), an appreciation of historic accounts has existed within the organization. it seemed that the general purpose of History Club was to enjoy leaming through experience, whether that ex- perience be self-lived or illustrative. Vice-president Amy Ratcliff named her most enjoyable experience with Histo¬ ry Club as Going to Jefferson (Texas) and the T.C. Lindsey Store. Such ex- periences have certainly been valu- able in leaming. Work was made into pleasure as History Clubbers found ease in study- ing with companionship. Teresa nix- on said, l enjoy working with the people in History Club. Teresa thought that enthusiasm and comrad- ship were just as much a requirement of the dub ' s functioning as anything. People insuring a future by securing the past; That is History Club. As Cic¬ ero said, Mot to know what hap- pened before one was bom is always to be a child. HISTORY CLUB OFFICERS secretary treasurer Randy James, president Linh Mguyen, and vice- president Amy Ratcliff make it their business to organize interesting ways for members to par¬ ticipate. 232 • MARKIMG DIFFEREMCES HISTORY CLUB MEMBERS are (sitting) Shelly Phillips.

234 Gearing Up For Another Odyssey Yearbook Is Ready For The Round Trip P-PO-POWER! We got power! Ohhh Pica power! What is this! I ean t believe we are actually doing this. ' ' What in the world is a Pica anyway? Well, a pica is a measurement in Yearbook and this is only an example of the weird things that happen in a Yearbook room. The staff begin their work at camp in the second week in June (it ' s where the cheer came from) and didn t fin- ish until the first week in the next June. Yes it took a year to lay the baby to rest, but it was worth it com- mented Editor Annelise Christensen. At Christmas time the staff had the experience ofstaying up into the weee hours of the night finishing pages. But with dedication the first deadline was met. Maybe the Christmas break could really be enjoyed. But alas more pages were assigned. Some tried putting them off, others did them right away, knowing the future held more for them to become a part of. Yearbook was a fun class too. The annual staff picture was one of the many high points. Plans were made to take the picture out at Royale Airlines, the dress code would be tourists clothes. Some of our more outspoken members decided that terrorist was more to their liking.. So the ODYSSEY was overtaken by renegades! But we knew that already. Boy, were they suckers. Speaking of. Do you know how many suckers Yearbook sold this year. 176 boxes, 50 in a box at a quar- ter a piece. That s roughly 8800 suck¬ ers. Their official name is Double Fruit Pops. So the year came to an end and the book was delivered. But the camara- derie of the staff would go on. In years to come members would look back on those Yearbook Days. CHAOS REIGNS IM THE AIRPORT! That dirty little terrorist drug smuggler JEFF ANDREWS (1) has everybody fooled by his gun, cleverly disguised as a camera, except GiriA H1LL (3), whom Jeff has dead in his sights. Meanwhile, back at flight control, BETTYE WALKER and VERNI WRIGHT (2) fret over botched flight pians, as NATALIE WHITE and PATRICIA KADAIR (4), not to be bothered with such menial things, dismiss the whole matter entirely. Will Jeff let Gina live? Will Jill fix the flight? Will Nat and Pat ever care? Tune in next week ... ■ MARKING DIFEEREMCES
