Programming was done by the student deejays themselves, and playing an assortment of music was encouraged. The Radio Club was not the only club that enjoyed success. The Octagon Club, a community service organization sponsored by Mrs. Becky Lenhart, also had a very busy year. They have helped serve food at Daddy Bruce's Food Kitchen. At Christ- mas they went downtown and gave underprivileged children presents. Jr. Lakshmi Nair said, The main reason I joined the club was that I thought it would look good under community .TO A F RICA M Daddy Bruce's kitchen on Thanksgiving, buying presents for underprivileged children, and entertaining-these were only a few of the activities participated in by the Political Awareness, Radio, and the Octagon Clubs. The Political Awareness Club, sponsored by Mr. Bill Bliss, re- searched and discussed such con- troversial topics as the Bork trials Terri Lundin I wanted to make myself more aware about current events, and I thought it would be more fun leaming from my peers than from teachers.

B uddies, brains, and brillance... normally the three would have little in com mon, but in actuality the three de- scribe clubs at Overland. Unlike last year, Blazer Pals was a club that consisted of stu- dents and handicapped students alike. The sixteen members met every Tuesday for a fun activity such as roller skating, bowling, or seeing a movie. New sponsor Averi Schaubman became in- volved because she was commit- ted to having students develop friendships. One of the special Blazer Pals, Shawneene Cooney Debbie Traudt said, The best part about it is meeting and talking to new friends. Csee story p. 2285 Another club, National Honor Society, took not only communi- cation skills but brains, too. Stu- dents with a 3.6 grade point aver- age or better were automatically given an application. Both grades and a person's activities in school as well as the community were looked at for entrance. It's a lot differ- ent from last year, partly because we have a new sponsor, Mr. Poland, said Sr. Amy Sargent. One activ- ity that the s tu d e n t s took part in was wrap- P 1 U 8 them about anything on an equal level. The counselors provided guidance and advice as well as being a friend to students. In April, a ceremony of induc- tion took place for all NHS stu- dents. Each member received a certificate and pin. Sr. Laura Struckman said, We didnlt do too many activities this year, but NHS certainly looks good on a college application. The Gift of Flight .... what's that? It was just one of the proj- ects constructed by the Odyssey of the Mind students. Small model airplanes were made that could miraculously perform dif- ferent feats. This is just one ex- ample of the mindboggling long term projects that were con- structed. Not only must they do a long term project, they also do a spontaneous problem without VER MATTER Christmas gifts at Aurora Mall. Additionally, at one meeting Mr. Poland gave the opportunity for members to partake in the High Trails Outdoor Education Center Camp. Jr. Lisa Hardin, Sr. Jarod Trow, and Soph. William Newsome all jumped at the chance to be involved. While at the camp, these three students acted as counselors for the ele- mentary students attending. Jarod said, For sixth graders, their level of maturity was supris- ingly high. I found I could talk to any preparations, said sponsor Mr. Tom Keefe. Mr. Young, Mr. Keefe and Mr. Pugh were the sponsors who each had a team of a maximum of seven students. They performed the long term projects as well as spontaneous problems in front of a panel of judges. The top two teams made it to state. So what, you ask, do these three clubs have in common? Nothing , except friends who had fun together-- friends who leamed from each other. Debbie Tnudt 7 Mr. Gordon Young 1' es Srs.
