For math and science enthusiasts, 1987-88 was prosperous because the Newtonian and Mu Alpha Theta Clubs Calculated Success!! Mu Alpha Theta and Newtonians, Pittsburg High's only two clubs focusing on mathematics and science, may seem inactive, but were successful in their prospec- tive goals. Both clubs, sponsored by Bill Sullenberger, fulfilled identical objectives. Both were responsible to ad- minister the CAML contest, a series of six tests in mathematics in which the highest scores were sent to compete against other school's scores, and to ad- minister the AHSME test. Another event sponsored by both clubs that aroused the interest of participants from all grades were scientific con- tests such as: the egg drop, toothpick bridge, and the ping pong ball and tube com- petitions. In each contest, the objective was to withstand physical forces with contrap- tions consisting of the least mass. Through these clubs, speakers from companies such as Livermore, Dow Chemical, and Shell were ar- ranged to speak to the club members for possible careers in mathematics andfor science. The Newtonians hoped to organize a science fair in cooperation with the junior high school to preapre students for future high school science courses. They also antipcated the organiza- tion of a lab course at Los Medanos College to conduct experiments with e uipment not available at tlie high school. If we put our minds to it, the science fair can be successful. We are unsure because the planning of the fair is very intricate. The lab course should be a total suc- cess! stated Newtonians President, Eileen Aguba. Nevertheless, both clubs were triumphant in fulfilling their ambitions as well as pro- viding the traditional purpose of promoting interest in mathematics and science. - Dina Duran I A Note from the Clubs Editor... Due to pressuring deadlines, each club was asked to submit an agenda listing the objectives made andfor pro- posed to help the production of the clubs' layout. How- ever,it was clearly stated that clubs that didn't submit such an agenda would not get coverage in the 1987-88 Pirate yearbook. As a result, only six clubs responded. The other fifteen clubs are in existence at PHS, yet failed to comply with the clubs editor's request.

With a mild dose of bad luck, Fil-Am Members attempt to . . . Aim for the Top! During the 1987-1988 school year, the Filipino American Club had reached its goal: to accumulate a con- sistent amount of members at every meetin . For the past three years, Fi-Am had been struck with a mild dose of bad luck through poor membership attendance. Although there were very lit- tle members, the club came through by increasing their account by five hundred dollars. Fil-Am offered a scholar- ship to qualified college- bound students. This was one of the club's major goals, which was to widen its racial mixture of members. So, Fil- Am was not a club just for Filipinos, but a club for all students, and that was and is its ultimate goal. - Edelweiss Pentecostes and Imelda Pagobo Row 1: Mark Dolor, Louie Martirez, Imelda Pagobo, Faye Masangcay, and Carlos Lagarejos.
