STRATECT Serving as DM, David Turk prepares for a game of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. There was more to after school ac- tivities for members of the Games Simulations Club than just a routine club meeting every week. Mondays’ meetings meant mind- stretching competition where each player derived his own strategy and tactics before testing them out against an opponent in the form of a war game. On into the month of December, tournaments began on Monday afternoons and were often continued on Saturday mornings. Who knows...perhaps the strategic genius of the future now stalks the halls of Lake Brad- dock. GAMES SIMULATION CLUB Sponsor: Mr. Pete Hatcher; Pres.: Scott Bryden; Vice- Pres.: Jim Flemming; Sec.

During a basketball halftime show Stacey Gupp swooshes her pom poms to the 7th grade team routine to Dallas.” Anne Myong, April Buckllnger, and Christine Julliano do can-can kicks in unison to the 8th grade half-time show. A shrill whistle blew and the sound of marching feet began. Dressed in matching purple, gold and white uniforms, they marched in unison to the center of the football field. The whistle blew twice more; they turned and hit a stance facing the home crowd with smiles on their faces. Over the loud speaker, music blared as a routine of tac- tical precision began. No, it wasn’t the U.S. military forces but the thir- ty members of the Eighth Grade Drill team. With a position usually held by a teacher, Junior Stacey Staats sponsored and taught the Eighth Grade Drill team routines to “Don’t Stop Until You Get Enough,” Pop Music,” “Give Me Some Lovin,” and the theme from “The Force.” They performed these specially choreographed routines at all the home J.V. foot- ball and basketball games. The thirty-two members of the Seventh Grade Drill team practiced on Mon- days in the Gym Hall on routines choreographed by Juniors Cindy Ackerman, Julie Gillespie and Karen Zaterka, to the music of “American Bandstand,” the theme from “Dallas and “Burn That Disco Floor. All of the routines were performed at home freshmen football and basketball games. Both the Seventh and Eighth Grade Drill teams showed their talents in performing with spirit, tactical precision, and of course, a smile. 8th GRADE DRILL TEAM Sponsor: S. Staats; Members: T.

eesntc cnuiAiiiiii Bob Robinson and Marc Beebe participate in an arid discussion on the works of Michael Mour- cock. Encouraging students to become more aware of Black American Culture, the Afro American Culture Club involved itself in various ac- tivities each month. The club, open to students of all grades, par- ticipated in a Soul Food Banquet in June, a Career Month in April, in which professional people were spotted in various careers. A trip to the Museum of African Arts in December enabled members to view the multiple contributions of Africans in world society. February brought an opportunity to demonstrate black ingenuity as members arranged the showcase during Black History Month. One of the most interesting events dur- ing the year for the club was when they sponsored a policeman specially trained in seeking out il- legal drugs and drug traffic. Ex- periencing an increasing awareness of the American Black Culture kept the club active throughout the year. Students interested in unusual aspects of science fiction were en- couraged to join the Science Fic- tion Club. In-school activities in- cluded a book exchange and the annual Short Story Contest held in the spring. Furthering their in- terest, members attended Science Fiction and Fantasy Conventions in the area and traveled to local places of interest throughout the year.
