X 1 yi ' :W Ea A 83 A Interact Being There by Lori Raber Students helping the community was a popular interest at Poway High. The Inter- act club was another newly established club that emerged on our campus this year. Student initiated, this club was a service club that had an amazing turnout of members. The club came in seventh place against a large number of local schools in a food drive for the poor and homeless. We felt great helping others and we learned a lot about ourselves in the process, stated Greg Stampfli. lt's neat to know that students are interested in the needs of others in our worldg they are very aware of problems that need to be solved, commented Mr. David. With over fifty active members, the Interact Club had a variety of people to work with even more in future years but now we are happy to have helped bring about a great c u rltel' Anon mous Top.

Shen WK haring by Lori Raber What do you think of this? was a common remark heard at Writers Anony- mous meetings. This was a brand new club started on campus this year by Tami Marko. The club was established to give students at our school a chance to write and get a creative response from their peers. We could write about anything and get positive comments and construc- tive criticism about our writing, com- mented Rich Haggerty. It was a relaxed academic club which really promoted self- expression and creativity. lt was a great feeling to have people who wanted to of- fer comments about what you wrote W people that really cared about writing, mentioned Jennifer Stampfli. Writers Anonymous was an example of a success- ful student-initiated club. We learned a lot about expression and each other. Inlerdclfwrilers 139

I Surf I Hang'Ten by Lori Raber Surf's Llp at Poway High this year with the newly re-established Surf Club. The club was brought back to life this year with all the new members, com- mented Chip Forkenbrock. Some of the activities that were scheduled this past year were tournaments against other schools and trips to Mexico. The club met approximately once or twice a month to discuss upcoming contests and beach trips. lt was hard for our Surf Club to com- pete frequently due to the fact that many of the local high schools did not have ac- tive surf clubs. The club increased greatly and ended up with over thirty members. Whether we were competing or just surfing for fun, we had a great time. commented Jim Jones. The club showed definite improvement from the past years. Now one of Poway's most successful clubs, the Surf Club went on to make its new debut. Skin Di in bottom: J. O'Brien, K. Davey, T.

We all needed to learn how to use the equipment so we practiced in the pool, explained Bridget Gast. Mrs. Behrhorst taught basic procedures of diving and safety precau- tions. I joined this club to give me hands' on experience that will benefit my career in the future, I also made a lot of friends, commented Matt Guerena. This club had several dives at places such as Misson Beach and La Jolla. lt was an educational way to spend a Saturday, and I learned so much, stated Kristin McCarthy. Kids in- terested in learning about the ocean and having a great time really have kept this club alive. This club has become an active part of Poway High School and a great off-cam- pus hobby. 138 Skin Diving fSurf Club bottom: S, Chesterfield. S. Fanta, C. Chambers, M. David, middle: A.J. Miller, J.

'K B Beheve by Lori Raber Together we can't fail if we believe : This year's Emerald Brigade was success- ful as well as unique. Their field show in- cluded Latin chanting. a fluorescent may- pole, a flute quartet and a piccoloftympa- ny duet. These were aspects of a show that had never been seen before. This year l felt our show was artistic and excit- ing? it was great to have a totally unique show that stood out, commented Megan Murphy. The Emerald Brigade was led by Drum Majors Chris Blackburn and Hector Valenzuela. We put in an average of .. twenty hours a week of practice and com- petition time, replied Laurie Elias. lt was well worth it when we won and improved each week, she concluded. The Emerald Brigade was made up of the band, color guard and the percussion section. We are all a team, and we celebrate each oth- er's victory as well as the overall award, even if it is just knowing that we are im- proving, commented Michelle McClure. As a climax, this year the band went to the Fiesta Bowl representing Poway as one of the top-ten bands in the nation. 7 , ' w :rw wrt . tttt .T -,is lrl. .ff ..,.t . ..,,t. ,nada Sweepstakes ,,,..... ..f .... ..t s ......,,.. t.,..,... ,,.. ..,... ,,..
