From Astrology to Zoology Monacan’s Science Club does many things throughout the school year to benefit both the school and the stu- dents to go beyond the nor- give opportunities for stu- dents to be beyond the nor- mal science curriculum with experiences, lectures, and trips in order to foster more creative thinking in this area of study. This past year, the school benefitted greatly from the many community and service projects performed by the club. Also during the 1984-85 school year, they set up a bike rack in collaboration with the SCA in front of the school to enable students to have a safe place to park their bikes and to encourage biking over driv- ing as a form of transporta- tion for those living nearby. A bulletin board was perma- nently set up in the science hall to communicate and to display information about the field of science. In addition, a topographical map compiling nine maps of the area is under construction and will be placed in the science depart- ment. Furthermore, the club has future plans to relands- cape the area between the two entrances to the science hall. As an additional activity, the club worked with the county on a trail in Rockwood Park. Page 102 Science Club Members of the club hiked the trail once a month per- forming repairs and main- taining upkeep as needed. The Science Club also went on many field trips through- out the year, promoting sci- ence as an enjoyable past time. The club journeyed to Hampton, VA, in the fall for the purpose of observing fos- sils, which were seventeen million years old; thus, dating back to the period when the Hampton area was still sub- merged in the seas. Addition- ally, the club took a trip to the mountains of Virginia to go caving. They visited the Falls Cape State Park for two days, observing the physical and chemical oceanography. Also, the club enjoyed a visit to the cardio-pulmonary unit at Johnston-Willis Hospital and went to the WWBTY 12 Stu- dio to talk to meteorologist Jim Duncan. Other trips of the club included a trip to the Science Museums in Wash- ington, D.C. and a weekend at Smith’s Island, MD, near the Chesapeake Bay Area. The Science Club promot- ed an interest in science throughout the school year through community and school services and enriching field trips. In doing this, the club had an extremely suc- cessful and rewarding year. Science Club.

Pep Club For only the second time in the history of Monacan, some boisterious students, with the guidance of Mrs. Sabo, formed the Pep Club this past year. As members of the Pep Club, these crazy and fun lov- ing people exhibited the true Chief spirit, leading Pep Ral- lies and stirring up the home crowd at various athletic events and by supporting Monacan’s honorary chiefs, Calvin Tutwiler during the football season, and Cabell Anderson during basketball season. The Pep Club did more than its share in making everyone proud of being a part of the Monacan “Chief Challenge” with such spirited individuals. The Pep Club, however, did not limit itself solely to the purpose of getting the home crowd rowdy and enthusias- tic. Little did people realize the great amount of effort the Pep Club put out in helping the cheerleaders construct the signs and banners used to lift team spirit, and last Christmas, the Pep Club sponsored the picture taking event with Santa Claus, his Snow Queen (Laurie Max- well), and Ice Princess (Amy Gauntt) as helpers. So the Pep Club did indeed have a great year and their unending spirit was greatly appreciated not only by the crowd, but by cheerleaders and athletes alike. With such spirited and rowdy individ- uals involved in the Pep Club, the “Chief Challenge”’ will continue to live on for the 1986 year. (above) During basketball games, you will find that spirit is created by the Pep Band. Pep Club.
