Clubs Build Interest SCIENCE AND MATH TAKE ON CHALLENGES Advisor, Bill Sullenberger cre- ated interest in science for members of his classes. Newtonians competed with oth- er local schools in science contests and enjoyed learning at the same time. Contests included an egg drop- ping games. The winning egg was at- tached to a hand made paper para- chute that dropped without break- ing. Officers were: Sonia Ramos, presidentg Lidia Stiglich, vice-presi- dentg Monique Mondragon, treasur- er, Evette Castillo, secretary, jenni- fer Sawick and Andrew Alatorre, ICC representatives. Sullenberger advised the math club, Mu Alpha Theta, promoting competition between schools in local math contests. Meetings took place in his 5th period class as some time was de- voted to new math techniques. Officers were: Ken Allen, pres- dientg Sonia Ramos, vice-president: Maria Estanol, secretary, Ion Iones, treasurer, Stacy Harris, correspond- ing secretary, Ed Bokinski and Den- ise Dyer, program chairpersons, and stephen Ahrendt and Bridgette Mar- tines, ICC representatives. MESA, Mathematics Engineer- ing Science Achievement, is an orga- nization aimed to encourage stu- dents to strive and excel in the math! science. lim Wagner, formerly a chemis- try, biology, and math teacher, advis- ed the club. Presently, he teaches computers. MESA offered students the chance to dwell at UC campuses on weekends and attend summer workshops organized by the UC campuses at Berkeley and Davis to increase minorities' interests in engi- neeringfscience fields. I think more people should join because Mr. Wagner is a great help in geometry, chemistry, and other math related courses, said Lorna Salazar, a junior who had been in- volved in MESA for 2 years. Club members gathered every Tuesday and Thursday night at Los Medanos College. Senior Felicia Lilly, added, MESA was beneficial because it helped students with col- lege challenges. Officers were Sonia Ramos, presidentg Raquel Ramos, vice-pres- identg Cynthenia Russell, secretary, April Torres, treasurer, and Bertha Ramos, ICC representative.

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 . . .
