Dragonslayers create imaginative characters for role-playing game A group of Clark students met weekly to create a fantasy role for themselves in the game Dungeons and Dragons. The only equipment necessary to play is sets of oddly shaped dice and rulcbooks which contain numbers and tables. Each member portrays a character who travels through an imaginary dungeon encountering beasts, earning gold and experience. All of the characters possess certain traits which help or hinder them in their adventures. The degree of each trait is determined by rolling dice; thus each character is unique in every game. The player himself decides other aspects of the fantasy role. No player actually wins the game, but the amounts of gold and experience earned determine the levels of success. Members of the club enjoy the game because it allows them to act out their fantasies. mslaycrs a « out fantasy roles 2 Dragow ayn. Knitting Todd Embrec. Mike Preston. Todd Miller.

DECA attains goals, promotes leadership among club members The Clark High School chapter of DECA, which stands for Distributive Education Clubs of America, belongs to a nationwide program that focuses on developing skills in the areas of advertising, marketing, distribution, merchandising. job interviews, sales, cash register procedures, and management. DECA is taught as a class by Mr. James Hoffman, and students arc not only given the opportunity to further their knowledge in the areas previously mentioned. but they arc also given the chance to earn credits for work experience. In order for a credit to be given to a student for a non school-related job, he must work a minimum of fifteen hours a week. In November the members of DECA attended a Regional Leadership Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah; and in later months they participated in district, state, and national competitions. DECA 111
