,.- INTERNATIONAL CLUBXNATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, Electric Company, Zoom all of these shows have one thing in common-children learn from them. Just like these T.V. programs, some clubs are based on students learning. Foreign cultures could be fun and exciting to learn about. The members of the International Club had a chance to study the languages, cultures, and cus- toms of countries like France, Spain, and China. The club was founded in order to try to get foreign and American stu- dents interested in learning more in depth about other coun- tries, said the club sponsor Heather Otero. The club started out by giv- ing cultural presentations about each country. This gave the stu- dents a chance to get to know about each otheris backrounds. Other activities included cook- ing demonstrations and field trips to foreign restaurants like Mataam Fez, which specializes in Moroccan food and atmo- sphere. International Club members also visited the Bud- dhist temple and the Imax the- atre. International Club meetings were held about every two weeks, and anyone who was in- terested could join. The officers included President Navneet Singh, Vice-president Sheri Prud'homme, Treasurer Robert Martin, Secretary Jennifer Kuehner, and Foelke Bottinger as Publicity Director. National Honor Society was another club which was based on learning. Unlike other school-sponsored clubs, there were specific requirements the student had to meet in order to join. First of all, a 3.6 minimum grade point average was re- quired. All students who main- tained a 3.6 GPA automatically received an application to join the club. There were also four qualities that the sponsor and the club's officers considered Noelle Brown NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: FRONT ROW: Leslie Moroye, Jim Mattingly, Bryan Pepper, Rob Teich- man, Jeff Shesol, Chuck Wennogle.

If the ap- plicant proved to have all of these qualities, he or she was accepted into NHS. Being in the club shows that you put an emphasis on academics and community involvement, said Sr. Laura Protextor. Some of the activities the club sponsored included fund- raisers. NHS held a fund-raiser at Penguins to raise money for a Christmas party for children in foster homes. Another activity the club was in charge of was electing a Teacher of the Se- mester, where the members vot- ed on one teacher who excelled in his or her field. In a way, it's considered an honor to join NHS. It not only that you have an out- shows standing academic record, but also that you have definite lead- ership qualities, said the club sponsor Mrs. Dee Bond. The club met about once a month.

Creativit Getting Started For most students, join- ing clubs were common, but what about starting one? Starting a club was easier than most students thought. If the club is le- gitimite, itis fairly easy, said Activities Director Ron Castagna. First, one had to fill out all the proper forms, stat- ing the expected budget, enrollment, and a spon- sor. lt's a sort of consti- tution, said Mrs. Gayle Banyard. Next, the district com- mittee, AAA tActivities, Athletics, Advisoryj, re- viewed and accepted or rejected the application. They considered if it met the guidelines suggested, if it was open to the ma- jority of the student body, and whether or not it was dangerous to the students. Only one or two clubs tried to start new clubs each year. -Janet Stifflear MEMBERS OF THE Radio , Club, a new club, enjoy their float for the Homecoming pa- rade. t I...- -. t .I Bryan Pepper i Letterman When looking through the school handbook for clubs to join, students often wondered, Do any of these clubs ever really help people in and out of Overland? Well, the answer is yes! A club started by Mr. Harry Bull, called the O Club, was made to assist in community affairs and school events. It was a club made up of any Overland letterman who wanted to put more pride in their school and community. To become a member, one had to have earned a letter through a varsity sport or some other meth- od and also to want to help people in need. Al- though this was their first Pride year with a sponsor, they didnit have time to do much, but they did help the Athletic Office produce a slide show honoring ath- letes. Mr. Bull said, We want to help the school and the community in any way possible, but our time is limited. --Greg Wilhelmi Clubs Noelle Brown 1 i 2 f c e p t i n g thoughts, feelings, emotions - everything that you could possi- bly put on paper, said Sr. Stephanie Shearer. Those were the kinds of things the Literary Maga- zine Club was look- ing for in putting to- gether the 1987 edi- tion. The students pri- marily responsible for the magazines production were Srs. Janet Stifflear, Stephanie, and Aar- on Siegel, supervised by Mrs. Geneva Cor- ace, the creative writ- ing teacher. Their re- sponsibilities includ- ed contributing their own work, editing others' submissions, typing the entries and submitting them to the publisher.
