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.

Thomas Hardin, shows he can be a superior worker not to mention a class act breaker. Last year there was a new class brought to Pflugerville. Mr. Kelly Miller, the new teacher, brought knowledge of wood working to the students of P.H.S.

Sophomore Keith Baumgart prepares himself for the hard work ah » and other odd-n-ends were very much needed. Mr. Miller and a few others helped in the building of tables and painted the rooms. The ones who participated in the building of tables, and painting were Rodney Bray, Jason Candelas, Charles Tallman, Mike Smithe, and Tom Spoonmoore. These young men were very ap- preciated by Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller hopes to have many students enrolled in the future years. He also hopes to take these students to the youth fair, and begin competition with other schools. During the year, Mr. Miller and his classes were able to make small projects such as hot plates and clocks. The hot plates were given to their parents for Christmas gifts. After a lot of hard work the students were able to help in the making of the exten- sion table, arm saw, table saw, finishing room, tool cabinets for INDUSTRIAL ARTS 57
