VICA, Vocational In- dustrial Clubs of America, was a club with two main purposes: to sharpen leaclership skills, ana to sharpen skills in a field in which the student was interested. Club members were re- quired to pay $10 in fees which covered national, state and CHS chapter fees. The state field Olym- pics, usually held in Car- son, were held in Las Vegas in April. This gave students a chance to test their skills by competing in their chosen field. They were able to win scholar- ships, medals and other prizes. New categories such as rafting and computers were brought into VICA this year. Club officers were Presi- dent Marc Lepire; Vice President Aeryn Donnelly; Secretary Mike Croghan; Treasurer Mike Anderson. 168

' m -baboratory Language - The tardy bell rang, and thirtv students sat staring at the blank blackboard while Mr. Hunter took roll. This was the daily ritual for the first period chemistry class. Some had problems staying awake, paying attention, and getting into the mood of listening to confusing lectures about organic chemistry. Many had fun listening to Mr. Hunter ' s aah-mm lec- tures. Students agreed Mr. Hunter was a good teacher. Senior Don Works said, I like Mr. Hunter as a teacher because he is so lax in class. Another part of the class that some students enjoyed but others didn ' t was the many different labs. The labs ranged from testing Boyle ' s Law to trying to find out what an unknown mixture was. lunior Jim Elliot said, My favorite lab was when we did the odor lab that made a whole bunch of different fragrances. Students took chemistry for many dif- ferent reasons: a science credit was needed; their friends took the class; the teacher was popular; it was a require- ment for college. I took chemistry because I needed it to fulfill my college prep requirement, and I didn ' t want to take human anatomy, said Junior Rene Martinez. by Kim Smith Don Works, Spencer Mellum, Trishd Smith and Holly Kauffman test whether a compound will burn in pure oxygen in first penod chemistry class.

Let ' s Draw Together Although the Art Club turned out to be very small, many clubs and organizations found them to be a big help. The Art Club Increased spirit towards the football team, the wrestling team, and the ski team by making huge posters that were hung in the Avenue. Members also provided decorations for school dances. The Art Club had their own choice as to what they wanted to do. Some activities they chose were making pottery, printing T-shirts, painting, and drawing album covers. A major project the club tackled was making the life- sized Senator Man that was displayed during games and assemblies. The director of the Art Club was Mr. Turpie, who was, as described by Sophomore Matt Fisk, ... a great guy and a great artist! I joined the Art Club because I wasn ' t able to take art as a class, said Sophomore Eric Brugger. The club was a good outlet for artists or just creative people who found art to be fun. The Art Club ' s Senator man hangs in the teacher ' s lounge. lulie Maldonado and Carol Muldoon, both seniors, share each other ' s company while painting a valentine. Sophomores Matt Fisk, Eric Brugger, and Brian Percival begin work on the Art Club ' s Senator man. Art Club VICA ;t
