Hidden Talents Every year, hundreds of fascinating, intelligent, pieces of art and literature were drawn and written by creative and not so creative students of Lake Braddock. Much of the talent was often hidden away in notebooks, diaries, doodle pads and minds. But then came Chimera; Lake Braddock’s art and literary magazine compiled by and for students. In past years, students didn't hear about Chimera very readily and weren’t sure how to go about submit- ting work. This past year, the idea of a submission box placed in all the subschools evolved. Students could submit art. including photographs, drawings, and designs; and literature such as short stories, poetry, or essays. Much of the work in the magazine was created by students in English and creative writing classes where they had time to write, revise, and perfect. When a work was submitted, a staff member (or members) rated the entry on a point scale of 1 to 5. After being sorted with other writings, members chose which works would be used for publication. The staff of twenty members were all interested volunteers and were lead by the re- maining staff members from last year. The editors were Katie Stafford and Wendy Hirst. Sponsors were Ms. Mur- ray, Ms. Duffy, and Mr. Evelyn. Chimera: Sponsors: Ms. Murray. Ms. Duffey, Mr. Evelyn. Editors: Wendy Hirst. Katie Stafford. Members: Kathy Almstedt. Anthony Beverina.

Although copying information is a tedious job. it is important that Lynne Litterio write down the titles of submitted literature according to their rating during a staff meeting. Enjoying humorous short stories is a fringe benefit for Jin Kim as he reviews a recent submis- sion. 348 Chimera

Rick Frazier, Betsy Hare and Virginia Heimericks practice a Halloween safety skit to be performed at Orange Hunt Elementary School. Safety First Students interested in protecting the school and community from needless accidents joined S.A.D.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) and the Safety Council. Throughout the year, both clubs placed specific emphasis on driving hazards. While S.A.D.D. pointed out the dangers of drunk driving, the Safety Council stressed the importance of wearing scat belts. In addition, both clubs sponsored a safety week. At this time, students were encouraged to drive with good judgment and to obey the speed limit. Safety Council members also visited Orange Hunt Elementary School to put on a play ex- hibiting good safety measures to be taken during Halloween. By the end of the year, members of both clubs felt as though they had made a significant contribution to the school. S.A.D.D. member Christine Juliano is pleased with the cut down of student related accidents on Burke Lake Road. Safety Council members Trent Kubo and Marianne Helms await the results of Safety week.

Creation Wednesdays and Thursdays pro- vided special days for some students at Lake Braddock. Those days brought the meetings of the Art and Photography clubs. For students who had no room on their schedules for a variation of any of these classes, they provided a terrific chance to excercise their unique in- terest in the subject. For students who did take art or photography in school, their club let them refine their talents. A name better known as the Art Club became the Lake Braddock Design Company. Creating art and beautifying the school, yet at the same time teaching students various skills, was the main purpose of the Design Com- pany. They held a craft show in the spr- ing selling different crafts they had created. A workshop was held for mak- ing silver and porcelain earrings for anyone who had a personal interest. The Photography Club was an organization that was comprised of students who took a photography class. Members enjoyed using the time for personal reasons. It gave them a chance to be more creative in their work than they could in a class assign- ment. This time was also valuable in preparing for the Scholastic Photography Contest in which many photo students competed. Whether it was art or photography, students had an opportunity in both clubs to add per- sonal style to their work without the pressures of a class. While searching for the right color to paint a re- cent clay sculpture he made. John Base discusses his ideas with another club member. Between breaks, photographer Julie Robinson cleans one of her lenses. The thought of having a spring flea market in- terests Lori Harney as Ms. Morgan explains the details Design Club members will need to know. ART CLUB:Sponsor:Mrs. Morgan. Members: John Bari.
