Success of Clubs KEY CLUB CRASHES WHILE CHESS CLUB RISES During the membership drive, Key Club tried to attract new students. It was important to the club to get stu- dents who were task oriented to fulfill the club's objectives. The Key Club which usually par- ticipated in charities such as UNICEF and senior citizen dinners, found it had to meet their goals because of low par- ticipation. The enthusiasm of the Key Club's motto, Caring: Our way of life, along with the help of Advisor David Little- ton, allowed the club to maintain a maximum attendance of eighteen members. On the other hand, Chess Club was at it's best this year. Things got started in the right direction for the club, but the most unsuspecting item was the touraments and matches. Chess Club Advisor Ted Delmar com- mented, We had a lot of good player. The major events for the club were the San Raquel trip and the form- ing of the Chess Club at Hillview Iu- nior High School. The officers were: Dave Bohannon, President: David Sanchez, Vice President, and Allison Reed, Secretary. - Iulie Clark

Students Get Involved SADD SHOWES COMPASSION Every other Tuesday, SADD fStudents gainst Drunk Drivingj met to promote safe riving. The approximately 50 students eld their meetings in room 402, which was r. Bruce Dexter's room, SADD's advisor. Our SADD chapter had three main oals. They were to alert high school stu- ents to the dangers of drinking and driv- g, to conduct community awareness pro- rams, and to eliminate the drunk drivers nd save lives. Drinking and driving is the number one killer of teens.

Presiding officers were at follows: President, Casey Chaseg Vice-President, Kevin Williamsg Secretary, Ira Estesg Trea- surer, Rick Cruz - Audrey Anderson Youth Educators Help Others PHS IUNIORS AND SENIORS GIVE DRUG EDUCATION Each year, a group of students from Pittsburg High School are cho- sen to participate in the Youth Edu- cators program. A program where teens go into the junior high's and talk to them about drugs, alcohol, and peer pressure. Youth Educators go through 50 hours of training and also give up one period of class time twice a week. It was a lot more work than I thought it would be, but it was all worth it. I didn't realize how at- tached I would get to the kids in my class, commented Evelyn Salazar, senior. The group worked together as a team. Since they spent so much time together preparing to go into the classrooms at the junior highs, they quickly made strong bonds of friendship with each other. Everyone got along because we all had a common goal, which was to prevent junior high kids from us- ing drugs and alcohol. Throughout the program all the Youth Educators became close. This is something I'm really proud of doing. The memories of me being a Youth Educator will last, but hopefully, what we taught will last longer, said Shari Lind, ju- nior. - Casey Chase YOUTH EDUCATORS Bottom row: R. Cuya and V.

Computer Club Attracts Few SPORTS INTERFERE WITH PARTICIPATION Computer Club had been ar- ranged for those special students who enjoyed programming compu- ters. The members strived to reach their goal. The computer club met on Thursdays in the computer room with Advisor, Ben Lamay. Club meetings were postponed during wresting season because many members belonged to the team. After wrestling had ended, the club re- turned to its weekly computer activi- ties. They held fundraisers, such as candy sales, in order to raise money for a computer modem which would allow them to communicate with other local systems via telephone. The officers of the club were: Ice Acedio, President, and Phillip Coker, Vice-President. Their goal was to let the computer take them wherever the spirit moved, con- cluded Mr. Lamay. - Theresa M Heredia C.S.FfComputer Club . . .
