James Wetzel toaether Students express creative ideas through Calliope, Art Club, and Foren- sics. These clubs provide an outlet for talent in different fields. Calliope, the stu- dent literary magazine, contains art and literature submitted by students and is also sponsored by Mr. LaForge. Randy Oyler, the editor-in-chief, is looking for- ward to this year’s special twentieth anni- versary edition. “Calliope is an excellent showcase for students to display their lit- erary and artistic talents,’ Randy com- mented. The Art Club, in its second year, is sponsored by Ms. Judi Miller. Reed Adler, the 1984-85 club president, stated that the club is presently working on a mural which will be placed in the East Cafeteria. “The Art Club provides stu- dents with a creative outlet for expressing ideas through projects not available in the classroom.’’ explained Reed. The Foren- sics Team competed in speech tourna- ments in which individuals spoke in differ- ent styles. Sponsor Mr. Wolf, and coach, Ms. Kennedy, helped the students im- prove their speech techniques. “This team allows students to gain knowledge of world affairs, it also pro- vides opportunities for students to im- prove their speaking abilities and master rhetoric and the command of the english language,’’ stated Jack Hsu.

The Homecoming Parade was a great way for the Student Congress to help spread schoof spirt Members Michael Goroff. Craig Shparago. Mika Aualin, Joel Meyers, and Corey Footlik waved from atop a doubledecker bus lubs Support Good Cause Though the two organizations are not affiliated, the National Honor Society and the Student Congress shared a common goal during the ’84-85 school year. Both groups worked to benefit others. The National Honor Society achieved this through its traditional in-school tutor- ing system on a student-to-student basis. The tutoring committee was chaired by Society member Adam Lashinsky. During the holiday season some mem- bers of the group visited children wards at local hospitals bringing small gifts and es- pecially high spirits. After the project sen- ior Rosy Aronson commented. “I really think the children enjoyed it. One even said. ‘This is so fun!' That made our day.” The Honor Society also worked with the Response Center to develop and sponsor workshops and focus groups. They formed a panel which spoke and answered questions of the faculty in March. This helped both the students and the faculty to understand each other and the stress that is felt from both sides. The Student Congress helped a charity through its school cause committee. Ac- cording to tradition the Congress raised money through a silent in-school auction. This year however, seniors Faryl Simon and Darcy Frank organized a live auc- tion which was held on a Saturday morn- ing and opened to the community. The merchandise was donated by community businesses and more money was raised than in previous years. Elected Congress officers also showed concern within the school as members of EPAC and PTSA. EPAC representative Aaron Weiss stated. “The committee is a direct link between the students and the school board. The reps in the group —parents, teachers, and students— consider each other as equals and the students are fairly represented.” Darcy Frank 24 — Student Congress - National Honor Society (below) Congress President Mike Aualin and Treasu Mike Schachter explained a new project to Congrt members Cindy Lu.
