 P'I, II Mr. Gary Anderson's photography as art classes continued to grow this year. His program which began four years ago has developed into one of the most popular electives available. I started from scratch, making my own water proof sink out of wood and fiberglass. Then I taped black plastic over all the possible light sources,'' said Mr. Anderson. The biggest problem which was how to finance the program was solv ed for me when I started talking to other photography teachers in the Austin area. One from Del Valle. Bob Davis, suggested that I make the students responsible for paying for the in-class necessities. I tried it and it worked.'' said Mr. Anderson. The students I have in class are highly screened and are therefore highly responsible. They understand that the only way to keep the pro- gram going is for them to help pick up some of the costs and they do. It is their personal responsiblity that makes this program work. added Mr. Anderson. This year Mr. Anderson said his goal had been to enter more student work in local and national contests. This year he had 50 entries and of those 11 won. Junior Jeff Bruzenak starts the water agitator used to do the final rinsing of developed prints.

Science, “TtlatA Campout a Big Success The Science and Math Club is an organiza tion of students who were interested in either a science or math class or the Explorers of America. The requirements to join the Science and Math Club were to be a member of the Ex- plorers of America and club dues. The Science and Math Club is a career oriented club that tries to educate students about various careers available. People from various careers were invited to speak about their profession. Last year some of the main speakers were a nurse, and a pharmacist, and also a neurosurgeon. Many field trips were taken during the year. A big request was campouts. Last year the Science and Math Club attended several campouts at Friday Mountain Camp in Oak Hill and also at Lost Pines State Park in Bastrop. There the students went on nature walks, canoeing, and many campfires. Steve Cho and Kelly Pfluger were the clubs firestarters for the year. Several of the projects burned during the year were glass bottles, aluminum cans, plastic, and potato chips. These campouts were a lot of fun and an educational experience for the students. Some of the sponsors were: Bill Hays, Starla Rivers. Sue Ridelhuber, and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Kelly. The Science and Math Club also went to NASA. Members rode to Houston in a van driven by Mrs. Kelley, toured NASA and visited mis- sion control. The highlight of the trip was when Kelly Pfluger and Chris Motlock took the keys to the van and moved it across the parking lot. The Science and Math Club also helped with the Science Fair. The club helped set up, register and clean up afterwards. The officers this year were Carrie Hays, Presi- dent; Melissa Nichols, 1st VP; Chris Motlock, 2nd VP; Pam Huebner, Treasurer; and Karen Lord, Secretary. Left to Right: Sophomore Renee Maddox, Senior.
