These were the words heard as the DC Flyers took off during their first year of existence. A flying fan himself, advisor Russ Abbott started the Flying Club because he felt there was a real interest in the aviation field. The Flying Club attempted to provide activities and projects for all people interested in general aviation. Each member had his own reasons for joining the club. These reasons ranged from building model airplanes, to hang-gliding, to a career in the Air Force, but each member agreed that the sensations of flying are totally unexpressable. The freedom from soaring across the never ending sky , said Sam Hubbard, club president, gives a sense of power that can't be compared to anything else. We have all caught the Aviation Bug said Jenny Masterman, an active member of the club. The Flying Club went on many field trips to explore the different aspects and career opportunities of the rapidly growing aviation industry. They also brought in many speakers to talk about the different fields of aviation. Flying Club members watch as Marc Schwartz demonstrates the delicate techniques of hang-gliding 96 A ,,.

The 1975-76 school year was the year the Minorities and Company Club was created. Many of the school's minority students felt that there was too little recognition of cultures other than the White- American . For this reason MAC came into existence. The main objective of MAC's primary creators, Debra Johnson, Sharon Franklin, and Debbie Gibson, was to inform the general student body and the faculty of Del Campo of the Mmorltles Contributions of in the United States. During National Black Week the first Black man to join the Air Force came to D.C. to speak to students. On the anniversary of Martin Luther King's assassination a very moving speech made by Mr. King was heard by all during the daily bulletin. By playing music performed by Black artists in the B-Multi-purpose Room during both lunches throughout National Black Week students were exposed to another part of the Black culture. During that one week many eyes were opened to the Black's contribution to American Society. MAC members were planning to further their influence by showing the many other minority culture s affects on our society in the past and the present.
