As their name implies, these peo- ple were students who were in- terested in the Republican view and who desired to learn the work- ings of the government. Taking ad- vantage of our location, the calen- dar of the members included talk- ing with Virginia's congressmen and meeting the President. Chang- ing the focus to within the Old Dominion, the Young Republicans traveled to Richmond with Delegate Jim Dillard during the year. Even staying closer to home, these members managed to fulfill their purpose by inviting some well known political speakers to lec- ture. If all these political and governmental activities sounded interesting, then membership in the Young Republicans was all that it took. The words of the president.

Imaaine CONFLICT SIMULATIONS CLUB: Sponsor: Dick Lisi. Pres: Joe Jurinski, V. Pres.: An- drew Frie, Sec.-Treas.: Keith Czelusniak. Members: Bryan Baldwin. Roel Cuejilo, Jay Gruendi. Ken Holtz, Mike Jurinski, Chris Lerche, Carter Rodgers. Carlos Solaves. From ‘Afrikakorps’ to Dune, any student with an imaginative and creative mind could have found en- joyment in the Conflict Simula- tions Club or the Science Fiction Club. Conquest and victory were the key words for the wargaming enthusiasts of the Conflict Simula- tions Club. This club met every week to promote the playing of wargames and to introduce new players to this hobby. But, the members’ zeal for the games was too strong for just these weekly en- counters, so a tournament was held in the spring for all interested. If a less active, but equally im- aginitive. role was desired, the search ended with the Science Fiction Club. As with their strategy-minded counterpoints, the members of this club sought to acquaint more people with their in- terest and to further the field of science fiction. Among other events, the club held their annual science fiction writing contest to encourage new fans and authors. If other worlds and other times were to be conquered, or merely contemplated, one needed only to join the Conflict Simulations Club or the Science Fiction Club. SCIENCE FICTION CLUB: Sponsor: Rudolph Rumlik. Pres.: Marc Beebe. V. Pres.: Jim Lampton. Members: Tae Im. Neil Keller. Phil Plait. Robert Schafer, Mike Thomas. The results of the day's 'Time Tripper' game are explained by Joe Jurinski. The cover of 'Amazing Stories' and the characters of 'Star Trek' allow Robbie Schafer and Thomas to show their knowledge. 254 Time Out

Extra 5pecia The National Safety Council had an important purpose in mind when it was organized years ago and that purpose continued to be honored in the 1981-82 school year. The Safety Council’s message of “Safety First” was relayed to both the student body and faculty through verbal communication, handmade pictures of injured ted- dy bears, and professional Red Cross safety posters throughout the school. The Council was also instrumental in recruiting donors to the Red Cross blood bank. The Safety Council, and their sponsor Mrs. Hilda Hall, attended county meetings of the National Safety Council once a month to find out about new trends in safety educa- tion. At the end of the year, the Safety Council could be sure that the student body had benefited from their care.

Junior Civitan was a service club made up of high school students who cared about the welfare of the handicapped. This year they devoted their time to raising funds in order to aid the mentally retard- ed. During the holiday season, the Junior Civitans, in connection with their Senior counterparts, sold fruit cakes and donated the profits to the Northern Virginia Training Center. They also wrapped presents that were exchanged the Center’s annual Christmas p; ty. In addition, the Civitans he bake sales and car washes to rai even more money for the benefit the retarded. However, not all the Civitan's projects were fur raisers. Members of the club • ficiated and acted as “Huggers” the Special Olympics. In their o right, these energetic studer were special, themselves.
