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.

An extremely active club, the Latin Club participates in many service projects and ac- tivities throughout the year. Under the leadership of its sponsor, Mrs. Wagstaff, the club had a very successful year. The Latin Club traditional- ly participates in many con- ventions and activities in- volving other schools as well as our own. This year was no exception. In November, members of the Latin Club attended the 1984 Virginia Junior Classical League Con- vention held in Norfolk, Vir- ginia. Monacan was well re- presented, capturing sixteen arts and crafts awards and having several delegates among the top winners in var- ious Latin tests. Other activi- ties around the state were the certamia competitions in which some club members participated. They captured many awards in these compe- titions and thus, provided Monacan with more recogni- tion. The Latin Club also hosted a Ludi Volleyball in Septem- ber consisting of twenty-three teams from various partici- pating schools. On a national Mary Ann James, one of the Co- Presidents of the Latin Club, speaks at the initiation of the new members of the Honor Societies of the foreign language department. Latin Club.

Page 104 Latin Club A Classical ‘Touch scale, the club sent five dele- gates to the National Conven- tion in New Hampshire over the summer. Additionally, some students participated in the National Latin Exam and the Classical Association of Virginia Test in March. Within the club itself, the main fund-raising event was, of course, the annual, school- wide M M candy sale. The club participated with the other language clubs in the foreign language events throughout the year, but per- haps their most exciting event was the annual auction- ing of slaves. Every year the first year members of the Lat- in Club are auctioned off as slaves. They must do whatever they are told by their owners until their service ends one week later with the Saturna- lia Banquet. The year was a great suc- cess for the Latin Club as they continued their activities and continued to excel in the events involving other schools. All the members had a wonderful year in the Latin Club and hope next year will be equally as fun.
