Students fading from school activities, result: fewer clubs Why doesn ' t this school have any outside activities? Oh, I don ' t know, like what? Well maybe some clubs or something? You may have asked yourself these questions too. But the school did have clubs. There was the bowling and chess clubs, and there was the . . . well . . . there ' s the .... well that was about it. In past years, speech, drama, Y- teens, medical careers, and radio clubs existed. Where did they go? It seems that in recent years, a lack of student participation hindered clubs. Last year, Mrs. Suzanne Lamfalusi sponsored Y-teens. Commenting on why the club died, Mrs. Lamfalusi stated, There was a lack of interest. I would be willing to sponsor Y-teens again, if there were more interested kids. Even though some clubs died because of a lack of sponsors or members, the medical careers club languished, because it merged with the career center. School nurse, Mrs. Mary Earp, no longer sponsored it. Instead, medical careers had a full time director through the career center. The only surviving clubs were bowling and chess clubs. Even though Honor Society and Lettermens Club were student organizations, they were an honorary type club. To be selected as members of these, students needed good grades or athletic ability. In one of the remaining clubs, the Bowling Club, students participated on 14 teams. Bowlers selected names which ranged from Refer Rollers to the Untouchables, for their four-member teams. Mr. John Talley sponsored the Bowling Club, with the aid of Miss Nedra Lancaster and Mr. Lee Baldwin. The club, which consisted of 56 students, bowled every Wednesday for 20 weeks at Plaza Lanes. At the bowling banquet trophies were awarded to the best bowler, and most improved, for both boys and girls. ' Awards were also given for first, second, and third place teams. The second club that survived was the Chess Club. Although they didn ' t have the expertise of professionals Bobby Fisher and Borris Spasky, chess members met weekly to battle each other. With only 13 members, the chess club held a Round Robin tournament, in which Greg Lyman placed 1st, Mike Wilson 2nd, and Bruce Nelson 3rd. Why doesn ' t this school have more clubs? Would you join them even if it did? 28
