Eack Tc Easics Man) students trit-d the college bound or vocational graduation programs. When it came right down to it, everyone had to meet the same requirements. To graduate, students needed three years of social studies, two years of physical education, two years of math, three years of Eng- lish, one year of science, and a half year ot health. The Social Studies credits were filled by- taking geogra- phy World History, U.S. History and, U.S. Government in the sophomore, junior, and senior years, respectively. Physical Education require- ments were filled by taking two years of marching band, P.E., or ROTC. A combination of any of these courses could be used to fill the requirements. Many students went beyond the two years of math and took Al- gebra II or trigonometry. In most cases, science credits had already been filled before sophomores had entered the high school. Courses in natural sci- ences, physical and chemical sci- ences could be taken as electives. To fill English credits, courses in English I and English II were required, but creative writing, science fiction, multi media, Eng- lish III, rhetoric, Bible study, nov- els, or speed reading were avail- able to fill the final credit. A half year of health taken in the senior year was the final re- quirement. Students who fulfilled these re- quirements by the end of their senior year, found themselves holding a graduation diploma. t fp Miliie Sprague tries to help O. J. Sanchez complete his assignment.

A Piece cf Art The only prerequisite to join the Art Club was a vivid imag- ination and a passion for art. The Art Club dabbled in many aspects of art, a few being clay sculptures, watercolor painting, and wire sculptures. Art work evolved from the hands of the art students and was displayed in different areas of the school. The Library displayed pencil sketches of reflective ob- jects and clay sculptures. The Art Club made lively pep posters for Homecoming week and other school occasions which were dis- played in the Avenue of Knowl- edge. They also made colorful banners for assemblies and school dances. Being a very school-spirited group, they chose mainly blue and and white banners with such sayings as, Stomp the Tigers and Raid the Raiders. Mr. Ford, advisor to the Art Club said, We work on art proj- ects that are school oriented. We just have fun on Thursdays mak- ing art together. This was Mr. Ford ' s first year back after a year long absence. The Art Club met every other Thursday to work on various projects or to think up new ones. They had many creative ideas such as turning a lump of clay into Papa Smurfs house or mak- ing an abstract head. ART CLUB: Betts.

Still others didn ' t really think about it. One group decided to do some- thing about it. They called them- selves S.A.D.D. (Students Against Driving Drunk). S.A.D.D. had many goals. Their main purpose was to wipe out the problem of drinking and driving. To stay active, members at- tended weekly meetings. They were also required to sign a con- tract with their parents stating that they wouldn ' t drive drunk or ride with a drunk driver. When asked why she became a member of Students Against Driving Drunk, Junior DeAnne Goertz said, I joined because, 1 think it is a good program. Hope- fully we can save some lives. In their second year, the Stu- dents Against Driving Drunk chap ter held many fundraisers. They held a poster contest, spon- sored the homecoming dance, passed out Halloween suckers, so- licited pledges to sophomores to encourage them to join, and died during the ghost-out. When asked about S.A.D.D.s ultimate goal. President Jennifer Comstock said, Their purpose was to make CHS a school against driving drunk. Involvement 169
