German Club fund-raisers included the close kin of the Gummy Bear, the Gummy Fish, and Advant Calendars. The German Club also competed in the annual Foreign Language Fair and the Ger- man Convention held at Amphi High School. The German Club met every Wednesday in C-T O to discuss various ideas and topics to promote the German Language and culture in Cholla. German Club officers were: President- Lamont Nesbitt, Vice President - Robert Spyres, Secretary - Mike Jennings, and Treasurer - Jennifer Shivers. French Club Sponsor Mrs. Marty Smith has been able to organize, along with her French students, the T985-86 French Club. The goals of the French Club is to make the students aware of different cultures and language of the world. The French Club was very involved with student exchange and had many speak- ers, who have been exchange students. There were no fundraisers this year due to Mrs. Smith's busy schedule with her new beautiful baby. Any student was welcomed to join as long as they had an interest in promoting other cultures. - By Warren Wong CA GermanfFrench Club Top Row QL-RJ: Kim Flynn, Johnett NewCorner, Jennifer Shivers, Grey Waid, James Danley, Louie Gutierrez, Heidi Leonard, David Whittier, Rhonda, Robert Spyres, Michelle Morrison.

Computers The second year Computer Club was ad- vised by Mr. Sam Westmoreland. Progress for the Computer Club began later in the year, with the members becoming actively involved in March due to the late delivery of uSoftware . The purpose of the club was to allow students who could not work a Com- puter class into their schedule the hands-on- experience they desired at a more conve- nient time. The Club met in E-l throughout the year. The only expenses were due to the club's purchase of the boxes of Computer paper. - By Kim Affolder G. Kornelle iiii 'i :Q illiii fi M. Lewis g C.

There were over 200 people in- volved, mainly Seniors and Freshmen, who were actively meeting twice ci quarter. This system was more like fun and less like work. The Buddy System has been in existence at Cholla on and off but never such a success as it was this year. It was started by Ms. Clay but Susan Hooper and Kenyon Moe were the one's in charge. It makes school more fun for the students involved because it causes all different types of people to become friends. Senior Buddy, Bianca Gonzales stated, 'xlt's a neat experience to be a Buddy and to help QI the new freshmen. - By Kim Affolder Ray Arrona Stacy Ballah Pamela Becwar David Borquez Donald Bustamante Tommy Leon Carlos Castellanos Ceci Castro Stephanie Codd Lisa Contreras Jennifer Cook Marisa Coronado Curtis Crigger Leslie Crum Sean Cvitkovich Nicole Daigle Jeff Dollar Sandra Dominquez Veronica Esquibel Jeff Fields Shannon Files Anna Flores Steve Flores Jessica Friend Diana Galavez Bianca Gonzalez Yvonne Green Donya Griffin Misty Hack Willie Hess Susan Hooper Sylvia Hoyos Michelle Jones Sue Logan Jay Lopez Kathy Lopez Jacki Luna Barbara Maiors Rene Martinez Debbie Matthews Chris McBride Kenyon Moe Cha-Cha Molina Julie Munoz Evelyn Navarro Lamont Nesbit Lisa Norzagaray Mark Nunez O Clubs Maribel Olivares Madrid Rand John Otten Letly Reyes Kelli Phillips Leila Rico Claudia Portillo
