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.

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.

With agonda in hand, Kevin Mosley calls the meeting to order. Want to sign this petition?” ‘‘What's it for? An Honors Govern- ment class? Sure, let's give the ris- ing Seniors a choice next year.” Establishing an Honors Govern- ment course was the first objective of SCREAM, the brainchild of Mike Thomas, Peggy Wright, and spon- sor, Mrs. Helen Price. The acronym SCREAM stood for the Society for the Creative Reform of Educa- tional and Academic Matters. The Honors Government petition was a success. The administration at- tended an “issues and answers session where they were presented with the outline of the course as well as the 250 signature petition and they later agreed to consider the course for the follow- ing year. Another SCREAM project was lobbying to get money set aside to pay for rented films since teachers were no longer able to charge students. The ultimate goal of SCREAM was to establish honors courses in all academic disciplines and to establish some form of recognition for achieve- ment in those courses. Pres. Peggy Wright gives Teresa Stefanelli and Lynn Euler time to present their ideas and gesticulations. SCREAM Sponsors: Dr. Bill Johnson and Mrs. Helen Mom, Price: Pres.: Michael Thomas and Peggy Wright: Vice Pres.: Lyn- nie Euler; Sec.: Teresa Stefanelli; Members: Mr. John Alwood, Mr. Ron Axelrod.
