F CA, architects Aspirations of becoming a renown- ed architect or craftsman may never be met, yet members of the Industrial Arts Club have gained at least local recognition for their talents. The club was organized for students enrolled in metalshop, woodshop or drafting classes. Members of the club represented Memorial in various contests. Com- petitors entered woodcrafts, metalcrafts or architectural designs created over the course of the year. Local winners continued to regionals and then traveled to state. We were kind of at a disadvantage because we only have 17 members. Schools like Spring Branch enter loads of people and several other schools in Texas enter hundreds of kids, explained President Senior Larry Garrett. However, We've cleaned up a few times, he added. In order to reach the contests, gas money was raised through candy and peanut sales. They also held get togethers for relaxation, socializing and a poker game or two, joked Secretary Senior Robert Boyd. Officers included Vice President junior Trey Pratt, Treasurer Senior jim Sanderson, Sergeant-at-arms Senior Rusty Webb, Reporter Senior Mary Tritico, Garrett and Boyd and sponsor was Mrs. Crystal Howard. Few members planned careers in the Industrial Arts field. Everybody was in it mostly for fun. The people in drafting will probably go into ar- chitecture, but the other stuff is just hold fellowsh1p like an extra hobby for everyone, commented Garrett. Another religious group, consisting of aspiring Memorial jocks and jockettes, was the National Fellowship of Christian Athletes IFCAI. This group met on every other Tuesday night and topics ranged from speakers to just discussions among members. Our purpose was just to get a bunch of guys together who shared the same bond - whether it be foot- ball, basketball, track or whatever, said President johnny Kennedy. Speakers for the meetings have been of a wide variety. We've had a bunch of different professional athletes and also some people who weren't athletes, it all depended, said Senior George Coltrin. A new diversion was the addition of girls to the organization. In former years the club consisted only of males. There are a lot of girls in athletics, also, and we wanted the same chance to meet that the guys had, said Senior Vice President Michelle Fontenot. A convention in january was at- tended by one member of each of the groups. The convention was held in Dallas and we voted on who got to go. There were kids from FCA groups all over the nation, said Michelle. The people who went really got a lot out of it, she added. 1,-U by Mary Lynn Korvelo Ind. rts
