Travel Clubs Hit The Hi h Roac fyou want to see the world, the French and Mountaineer- ing clubs are for you. Yet, there are certain requirements to acquire. ln order to join the French Club, you must have at least two years of french instruction plus an under- standing of the culture. In order to survive in the city of Paris, these are necessities. Equally important are the quali- fications for the Mountaineering Club. They are the love for snow skiing, camping in the rain, riding in cramped vans and hiking exhausting trails. Don't forget, this is all fun! The people are what create the unique experiences. Mrs. Larsen leads the French Club, and admits that she does it solely for the students. Cari Orr and her crew peeled, sliced, and fried over one thousand apple fritters for the Baywood Oktoberfest. They satisfied many empty stomachs and taught the students how to cooperate for a common goal. The grand events of the French Club are the annual trips to France organized by Mrs. Larsen. We go to a different part of France each year, but you can never see it all, she said. As most students who have gone can attest, lt is an exper- ience that changes you like nothing else can. This yea those who can afford it are going to Paris and Madrid fc twenty-three days. The Mountaineering Club has been led by Mr. Behrman since the forming of the mountains, and always has a fi, roster of events. On the weekend following the first seme: ter finals, the die-hard skiers of the group went to Mammot for four days of skiing and came back sunburned, but happj During Memorial Day weekend the annual bear chasing fe: tival was held in the Yosemite valley. According to the clu president, Bob Baxley, The Mountaineering Club gives chance for getting away from people and getting back t nature. Besides, there's nothing like snow to bring out tl' animal in you. Since any form of travel is expensive, Mrs. Larsen and M Behrmann try hard to keep costs down and make it easy fc everyone to go to someplace they've never been. Said Ml Behrmann, l'For such a small world, there sure are a lot l mountains to climb. l e 1 . 148 lg

-Clubs Sharpen Speaking Skills hat are the characteristics that the Drama and De- bate Clubs have in common? They both require the courage and ability to stand in front of an audience and perform. This year, MBHS is attracting an assortment of talented young individuals to these clubs. Drama is , accord- ing to Sherry Wright, the director of their first pIay, literature that is performed, a visual art where the only instruments used are the body and voice. The Drama Club's adviser, Dennis Bailey, organized the club in hope of getting enough interest to eventually form a class, so that more students have a chance to expand their knowledge of the theater. The first play ofthe year was The Man Who Came To Dinner. The club found out how difficult it is to put together a play. Not only do sets need to be constructed, costumes made or rent- ed, lighting worked out, tickets printed, there are a thousand other details. Hours of rehearsals compete with homework, jobs, and sports for priority. Just when it appears that every- thing is under control there is the inevitable personality con- flict or the discovery that dress rehearsal is scheduled the same night as Bingo Night. lt is enough to make a director lose her sense of humor. Jane Tanner, the president of the club, is hoping that the support of the Drama Club will increase every time we do a play. Skills learned in Debate Club are similar to those learned in drama and can be helpful to the success of a student. lt gives practice articulating and helps keep ideas in an organized fash- ion to prepare for higher demands in college, said Bruce Badrigian, the adviser. The Debate Club had a lot of assistance in its first year. Mr. Bud Zeuschner, a debate professor at Cal Poly, contributed his wide range of experience and knowledge in the field of public speaking. This year bred an incredible variety of different clubs. Of those, the Drama and Debate Clubs gave the students a wide range of possibilities to expand their talents. 1 4 'V V4 V: ,,, 150 DramafDebate 'Bc- -i ' 'an- A
