Athletes get support from FC ' 'Bringing together like-minded athletes for a time of fun, food, and fellowship was one purpose of FCA, commented advisor Tom Hewitt. Al- though Fellowship of Christian Athletes was an inactive group last year, it has been at Milwaukie for several years. The club met the first three Thursdays of every month at 6:15 a.m. at the Mil- waukie Covenant Church. Breakast was available with a S1 donation. There were also guest speakers at the meetings. Brad Smith, girls basketball, spoke on total release at the November 7 meeting. Guest speakers relate to high school students everyday situations. They also emphasize the way Christ influences the obstacles in our life, commented senior Carol Pisaneschi. It was kind of early in the morning, but the speakers were interesting and the food was really good, said freshman Angie Nyberg. Hewitt had been involved in FCA since college. As an athlete in college, he spoke to several groups. FCA focused on sup- porting athletes from different high schools. The commitment is hard to uphold every week. I don't mind though because it's worth it to me, said senior Evie Redler. FCA is fun. I like seeing all the people and talking with friends. I also get a chance to express my beliefs, exclaimed Pisaneschi. There weren't student officers when the school year opened, but they had hoped to elect some. There were 30 members from Milhi, but Hewitt was sure the number could easily grow to 70. Total number of parti- cipants of Milwaukie and Clackamas combined was about 100.

Students differ Cars, trucks, scooters, school buses, Tri-Met, or the old trusty feet were all modes of transportation to and from school for students. Commented senior Dayne Rau, I liked being able to drive to school be- cause I didn't have to get up so early to catch the school bus. ' ' During the early fall and spring when the weather was warmer, Honda scooters popped up in the parking lot. The small brightly colored scooters provided an economical, fun and a carefree means of transportation During the cold, windy winter, stu- dents turned to warmer options such as cars and the bus. Many students relied on the school bus to get to school and back home. Besides providing a way to get to school, students used their modes of transportation to get to work and for leisure time. :-an-uv, X , ,,,., T. y I 2.27 53, ,-W. V in transportation Cars allowed the student body the op- portunity to leave school for lunch. Senior Cindy Belles stated, I liked to go out to lunch with the gang. We usually went to Burger King. Stated junior Steve Street, I liked to go out for lunch and to get away from school. Also cars helped many students to get to the Skills Center, instead of tak- ing the bus. Steve Street, junior, com- mented, I drove to the Skills Center and stopped off at 7-11 for a Big Gulp before class. Driving to school may have been a luxury, but it wasn't cheap. Many stu- dents had to get jobs to pay .for car payments and insurance. Some students received the old family car that no one else wanted or they chose to go car shop- ping in used car lots.
