Quten Tag! ' Although this year ' s German Club could not boast great numbers, several dedi- cated members held the club together. Ta- bitha Keener, Jodi Mendrix, Andrew Mulse, John Bader, Todd Mouler, Colleen McQin- tey, Michelle Reiner, and Cati Chabafy vis- ited the Swiss Chalet in San Clemente to experience the German cuisine. In March, numbers gathered at Tabitha Keener ' s house and made Swarzalderkirsche, a Ger- man torte. Through these activities the stu- dents experienced facets of German cul- ture not acquired in the classroom alone. -k.g.

Semper Ubi Sub Ubi Latin isn ' t the only language, just the best, inscribed on a poster in Room 604, greeted each student as he made his daily entrance. A few students took this to heart and chose to enroll in Latin, giving them the option of join- ing the Latin Club as well. The Latin Club attended the annual Latin con- vention in Concord, California, where they en- joyed a Roman banquet, ' Olympics, chariot races, and ' Certaman, a Latin version of Jeopardy. Ms. Dickey, Mona Wang, Scott Fredrickson, Don Sutorius, and Cara Tyler, the club ' s lead- ers, organized the DMHS boxer shorts sale as a major fund-raiser. The colorful, spirited shorts were a hit among students. Proceeds of the sale were used to defray expenses for the convention and the traditional post-Sat- urnalia banquet. The Latin Club hoped to instruct students in Ancient Roman culture: mythology, how to build a decent chariot, and how to wear a toga properly. Latin proved applicable out- side of school also. Although the language increased vocabulary and improved gram- mar, Scott Fredrickson felt that the best part of learning Latin is translating college mot- tos. -k.g. 1.

Curiosity Cures Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to see a spider crawling three inches away in the snow. Or how about stepping on a stingray? Members of Science Club were offered these and many other novel exper- iences. The sole requisite to join was to be enrolled in a science class. Led by President Fernando Crespo-OTieil, the Science Club went on numerous outings designed to apply classroom knowledge to the real world. Morro Bay was the first of these exper- iences. After a canoe trip across the bay and a fruitless search for the gourmet gooeyduck clam, the group settled down for an evening of food (the students claim it was food) and song. Sierra Survival saw a band of students brave the bitter cold to ski, ski, ski. The second winter trip, to Yosemite, provided a week-long opportunity to escape the rigors of school and exper- ience nature and learn about them- selves. The biggest event undoubtedly was the annual week-long spring trip to beautiful Baja California for the ma- rine ecology students. All in all. Sci- ence Club had another very active and successful year. -e.c. KU
