AS A Warm Welcome By Lori Raber Welcome to America! The AFS club did more than just welcoming foreign ex- change students. The AFS club provided a place where the students could go if they ever needed help or a friend who understood what they were going through, commented Sara Massengil. The club sponsored Christmas and other holiday parties as well as custom related activities. They did a number of small trips around the local area to help give the students a taste of America. AFS gave American students the chance to exper- ience other cultures in an indirect way. Each student was required to give an oral presentation about his country and its customs. This gave people in the club a better understanding of the individual and hisfher country. lt was party, party and more party along with a great exper- ience, commented an enthusiastic mem- ber. You did not necessarily have to have plans to be an exchange student to join AFSQ anyone could ioin. There are so many different walks of life here at PHS: it is a perfect place for someone to see vari- ety, stated Noel Mellon Mr. Amand tries to impress the women.

The truth was that Future Farmers of America was one of the oldest clubs on campus. The actual class was located far off from the hustle and bustle of everyday campus life. The agriculture area of our school was one of the most separate and secluded places. Future Farmers of America has grown immensely in the past four years due to the greater interest in animals and plants, commented President Ricky Ken- nedy. Most students did not realize that there are active FFA clubs in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. The students in this program learned personal leadership and development which was best achieved through the out- standing chapter of FFA here at Poway High. -my 4 Q J. DeBerry. S. Montgomery. K.

O'Connors MOG el Jr Civitan Positive Outlook By Chris Blackburn We have proved ourselves to be a club that does positive activities, stated President Eric O'Connor. This attitude could be seen throughout the entire year as the Junior Civitan participated in a va- riety of community services. One of the maior projects it was involved with was helping put on the Special Olympics in Westwood. The students helped organize the event and cheered on its participants in events such as modified track and field. The club's major fundraiser came in the form of gourmet suckers. Students found it hard to pass up these giant Iollipops. The money received from this fundraiser went to buy a van to help transport those who were physically handicapped to and from the Special Olympics. Poway High could be proud of the out- standing work that its Jr Civitan was en- gaged with in helping the community. FFAfCivilCln 131

I would really like to see bowling become a letter sport, we put a lot of time in and we represent Poway High School, comment- ed President Dennis Poon. The bowling club had a better consistant turnout than ever before. This year we finally beat our toughest competition, CML Carmeljf' re- plied a serious member. The main goals of these club members were to improve their own technique and to help improve the overall club. The bowling club added to the unique variety of clubs available to the students at Poway High. This club was more than a few friends getting together to bowl a few frames on a Saturday morn- ing. Helping each other and trying to influ- ence others to join was a main obiective of the club this year. lf you are strolling by Carriage Lanes, drop in and see the Bowl- ing Club. Math Problems? by Lori Raber From foundations to calculus BC, the Math Club was made up of people from all levels of math at Poway High School. This was a great club for those who were inter- ested in learning material other than what was offered in their classrooms, no matter what level, stated John Mayo. This club met at lunch to discuss different math problems and upcoming math competi- tions. These contests were not only open to the club but to the entire student body. This club contributed to my high school participation and prepared me for my fu- ture career, stated James Sze. This year the Math Club grew in size from the years past. All of Mr. Weiss' energy plus a true de- sire to learn helped make this club a suc- cess. They can only hope for the club to grow in the future. McithfBowIing 133
