'it' XX 3 iv sr .. .4 Clubs Add Spice And Smarts by: Nina Trias Clubs spiced up the lengthy days of doing home- work and taking tests, Clubs also promoted spirit as well as intelligence. Students' spirits were lifted in the Pep club advised by the inseparable duo, Mr. Bruce Dexter and Mr. Jim Wagner. Pirate pride increased when rallies were held in the gym before athletic activities and once held in the Little Theater before the seniors took their CAP test. Presiding officers were: Maria Vossos - president, Debra Green - vice-president, Trina Walker - secretary, Vicky Hunter - treasurer. Chess club tested skills and intelligence and was advised by Mr. Ted Delmar. Members were able to improve andfor master their game of chess. Unfortu- nately many students with potential neglected to sign up or participate in the club's activities. The only presiding officer was Louis Martinez - president. Cartoonists showed off their hidden talents in the Cartoonist club. Members drew or put comic strips together while Mr. Harry Marsh, advisor, showed them different techniques and styles. The cartoonists faced a member shortage because, a lot of people are not willing to draw because they don't think they're good enough, claimed member, Jude Ledesma. Along with a member shortage, Cartoonists were also faced with an officer shortage. Thanks to the hard work on the part of some very ambitious students, the Computer club began. The club, advised by Mr. Ben Lamay, did not get started until winter and had very few members. The club survived thanks to about five or six very loyal and ambitious youngsters who were building almost from scratch, said Lamay. No presiding officers were available at press time. ULIll:E

Money Doesn't Grow On trees by: Nina Trias Students found that money was hard to come by. Whether they worked hard at a job or begged their parents for money, they still came up with the green stuff that paid for their needs and wants. Money was spent for different things, however the most common was entertainment. One of the main reasons why weekends were looked forward to was that students spent their money on jollies like going to the movies, miniature golfing, and bowling. Students sometimes found themselves spending their money while shopping. Popular items that were bought were clothes, shoes, and surprise gifts for that special person in their lives. Responsible students had to spend their money on necessities. Those who owned a car had to pay their monthly bills, maintenance repairs, and gas. F ,Q st .fi 'Qi kt Q , A 1.
