ariety of organizations Students join clubs in languages, sports, drama The students at Crown Point High School enjoyed a diversified social life during the past year because of the variety of clubs and organi¬ zations in which students can participate. The Spanish, Latin, Ger¬ man, and French Clubs sponsored their annual In¬ ternational Dinner on Thursday, March 6. Foreign exchange students attend¬ ing Crown Point High and other area schools expressed greetings in their native tongue. Six different kinds of food were catered from some of the area ' s finer res¬ taurants. The members of GVC, the Girls ' Varsity Club, spon¬ sored a food drive for the needy during the holiday season. The Lettermen ' s Club, meanwhile, attended a White Sox game on April 14. The club provided 46 tickets, lunch, and transpor¬ tation. As the other clubs con¬ centrated on the realities of lives, the Drama Club was not to be denied the chance to portray the make-believe. The Drama Department produced three plays during the year: The Importance of Being Earnest, A Christmas Carol, and The Fantasticks. SINGING WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG, a song written by her brothers, senior Dawn Lynch wins the vocal and overall categories at Classics ' 86.

xcalibur passes through ‘Another Phase’ Yearbook attains a new look through design Passing by E236, one might wonder what goes on in the room for publications. During third hour, each two-page layout transforms from once blank pages to living reminders of Crown Point High School — the Ex- calibur. After the distribu¬ tion of last year ' s yearbook, the staff organizes the book for the current year. Begin¬ ning with fresh ideas, the staff finishes layouts, ar¬ ranges pictures, and write copy to meet strict dead¬ lines. A group effort makes possible the completion of the Excalibur. The publication is a class of learning and teaching for the staff. A work schedule might call for cropping pic¬ tures, calling prospective advertisers, or correcting cutlines. With the develop¬ ment of each page, perfec¬ tion and skill are pressing THE PHOTOGRAPHERS work quickly to produce awaited pictures. Chuck Cohen prints pictures as Bill Belei reviews negatives for him. demands in which Miss El- eanore Britton and the edi¬ tors direct the staff. The staff learns dedication and re¬ sponsibility as the room fills with activity, switching from slow to hectic work as pictures arrive. Excalibur grows with the students in all aspects of another phase. The staff of 38 becomes experienced and skilled in their work. Work¬ ers overcome obstacles and develop a feeling of unity and accomplishment. Just as students and faculty have adjusted to many new re¬ quirements through the year, the staff adjusts to cap¬ tur e these moments of school life in the pages of this book. Excalibur itself ex¬ periences another phase as it re-creates the happen¬ ings of 1985-1986. This phase has been an evolutionary one as staff ex¬ perimented with design and layout to make this year ' s book as special as the people and the memories it records. EXCALIBUR ACTIVITY STAFF.
