DI N TH E CLU BS From fluency in French Club to free rides in Friday Night Live, clubs provided students with forums for competition, interest and caring. Many students spent lunch or alter school in club meetings, parties and get togethers. Some students found clubs were a way to have fun and learn at the same time. 'I joined mathIetes'be4 cause I like math, and I get to do more of it on the team, said Mark Veglia. Still others enjoyed clubs because they provided a different type of challenge than classroom instruction. 'Spanish Club was a dif- ferent type of challenge, and I also thought it might be fun to do some real Spanish cultural activities,' said Spanish Club President Mike Wolfe. Competition and its benehts also provided some students with the motivation needed to join clubs. 'I joined Speech and Debate Club for the experience, the money, the com- The computersarecoming, Cecil Ftingenberg, Kathy Cavanaugh, and Joe Appleton play against a electronic chess set that has the tendency to humble most chess club members. petition, the money, the people, and for the money,' said Speech and Debate Club President Dave Sheppard. Improving college options attracted students to academic clubs. 'Clubs look good on college applications, and also they give me something to do at lunch, said Nicole Sanders a member of CSF, NHS, French Club and Speech and Debate Club. In addition, some students found clubs like NHS and CSF provide scholar- ship possibilities. 'I like the club jCSFj because it opens you up to scholarships,' said John Macias. Caring, concern, and a sense of the community attracted students to clubs like Friday Night Live. Friday Night Live members provide free rides to partygoers who have had too much to drink. 'My friend's brother was killed in a drunk driving accident, and I can't see people risk- ing their lives, and the lives of the people around them when they drink and drive,' said Friday Night Live member Jon White. Getting it together, Laura Reed, Shanna Bright, Stephanie Wla and Jon White help organize the first meeting of Friday Night Live. Making plans, German club members Brian Lobue, Lisa Morrison, Michelle Mays, Tamara Wills, Christine Pierog, and Casy Gordon make decisions about future club activities. Clubs

Candy was the most popular fundraiser as almost every club and organization on campus sold it. We sell candy because people will buy it. lt is easy to sell and makes the most profit, said NHS treasurer Mark Nichols. In order to sell candy an order had to be placed with Student Gov- ernment to ensure no two groups would be selling during the same two week period. This year after the first four weeks of school the entire fundraising calendar was filled. Students found selling candy a troublesome activity. 'I hated trying to get people to buy and keeping . mm You ITS H I , , owivlciue .... .... .... - ......... ,. cle- bf?-i' myself from resisting the temp- tation to buy, said Nicole Wright. There were other alternatives to selling candy. NHS sold pom-pons and student government sold ka- zoo's at the football games in the fall. After finding all the days taken for candy sales, CSF held a pizza party to help Hnance a possible ski trip. Unfortunately, the night was not a success. 'Only eight people showed up and I ended up washing dishes all night,' said Dorie Porter. Even though members of clubs and organizations did not enjoy fund- raising, they found it presented many more opportunities. 'We will use the money for scholarships, field trips, luncheons, magazines, film strips, and games, said Mrs. Elaine Eisner.
