t was off with a bang as the German Club mem- bers kicked off the year with a get-acquainted social at Pizza Hut. While there, the club members discussed the goals of the upcoming year. Their primary goal was to establish regular meetings and set up fun- draisers. Their most suc- cessful money-making project was selling Gummi Bears, a school favorite. Due to their success in raising funds, the mem- bers go on field trips - touring California and having a German-style Christmas at the Old Heidelberg restaurant here in Las Vegas. Con- nie Gellert states, 'xWe get a chance to go out and enjoy ourselves while we learn about the German cultures. Learning about the history, culture, cus- toms, and language of the people in German speaking countries is what the German Club is all about. To join the German Club, you must have been given the vote by at least two members who have been in the German Club for two or more years and you Was Ist Los?t ' What's Happening?

he Cave Crawlers are very adventurous. It's a great opportunity for students to learn new skills and basic essentials to live off the mountains. Some of the caves they go to are high on a moun- tain so they need to know how to get to it and how to come back down. The most outstanding trip that all the crawlers are waiting for is Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. Carlsbad Caverns is the biggest cave in the United States. This event takes place at the end of the year. Some other places they plan on visiting are Mitchell Caverns and Desert Cave. The deepest cave the crawl- John Hines is waiting for the mas- ter serve. CMIE Tammy Z 'e'mn Shows he' sw - - - as she does a menacing kick, The Cave Crawlers have been very busy this year selling loads of candy for their end of the year trip. They are very much looking forward to going on a trip to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. ers have hiked into is 500 feet. Caves are usually found in valleys or in little hill sides. The best caves are in limestone moun- tains. This school year the EHS Cave Crawlers have been to many places, North Umer- lend, Cnear Tonapahj, Ari- zona Strip, and Pishqua Crater, California. At Pish- qua Crater, there are lava tube caves. The cave crawl- ers took a rapelling train- ing course at Red Rock Canyon. This betters their ability to climb mountains. The average time spent on a trip is two to three days. When they go on over- nighters, they take a cave pack with them. This pack has a gas mask. lt also has all the basic essentials that someone would need to survive. Some of the things it consists of includes: can- dles, little snacks for ener- gy, and other basic essen- tials. Limiting the number of items in the cave packs helps the Cave Crawlers learn to survive in the wil- derness on just the bare essentials.
