The Girls FCA is sponsored by Carol Helms and Jennifer Lambert.

According to the club's charter, the main purpose is: to present to coaches and athletes, and through them, others, the challenge and adventure of living a Chris- tian life.

When you're playing on the right team, things will begin to happen, explained Roberts. Katrina Tencer concluded, FCA is everywhere, and we're proud to have brought it to Klein. , We Delai Robinson and Jeff Babitt muse over thoughts of fellowship and working as a team.

Science, Chess Club ixty-one students improving their train of thought could only make up two things - the Science Club and the Chess Club. Each year Science Club selects a theme to center their activities. The 1984-85 Science Club chose General Science. With this in mind they focused their attention on increasing their knowledge in science, under- standing the importance of science in people's lives and to perfect their skills in science. Consisting of thirty-five members, Science Club had many activities and parties. A couple activities were a trip to Baylor Medical College and they also sponsored the Klein Science Fair awards night. This year at the Science Fair they honored the veterinarians in the Klein area who have helped many students in the past. My favorite part of Science Club is the canoe trip to Try to develop interest in various areas of science. - Pam Greene Big Thicket, states Laura Christman. As an organization consisting of twenty-six members, Chess Club was a place to discover new moves and strategies which helped make each members game more exciting. The goals of the club were for each member to improve his game with the help and advice of other members and from sponsor Jim Liptrap. Outside activities included monthly tournaments at the Houston Chess Association. Member Otto Pedersen said, I try to be well rested before a tournament. l don't try to cram alot of chess books into my mind. The overall attitude each member had was to play chess as a hobby. Competing was thrill to most club members. Pedersen added, Sitting down for hours putting one's playing ability against others is exhausting, but also refreshing in the end. i 5 l i I il i 4 ,J -AWK Y . f Observing his opponents move, Pat Finley thinks of a decisive maneuver to outwit Tim Trammell.
