The club had meet- ings to inform the members about the trip and to give everyone a chance to get to know each other. The bus ride was an incredible twenty-four hour experience, by the end of the trip we were bouncing off the walls and we had a great time, stated Tony James. The bus ride was only the beginning. The hotel parties and the various dinner expeditions added to the raging time.

F Back To Basic Writing Writing seems to be spreading across the campus like a forest fire. Clear writing is the essence of clear thinking, stated Mrs. Ghafur. This enables people to think clearly about anything in life that can be associated with writing. Many of the teach- ers at Poway High School have been encouraging writing in every subject matter, even in areas where one may think writing has nothing to do with a particular subject, it does. For instance, Mr. Mello and Mrs. Wagner include writing into their classes, by asking the students to write a journal on given daily topics. Writing throughout classes would broaden our society, stated Dee Dee Holden. Writing was also promoted in foreign lan- guage classes. Mr. Easter, a Spanish teacher, stated, Even though one might think Span- ish is mainly an oral class, we have devoted a lot of time to writing. I require a student to listen to a tape and then write a com- position relating to the subject. The importance of writing could also be seen through the teachers. For the first time in history a meeting off campus, for two days, a writing workshop, was attended by the English teachers of Poway High School. The idea of the workshop was to grow as instructors of writing, and to develop a scene of unity. A new club, as well emphasized writing as a whole. Writers Anonymous, which met every other Monday, enabled the students to express their feelings and emotions, stated Tami Marko. The students during the meetings, would share their particular ideas with other club members who would state their opinions and give input toward their writing. Writing was encouraged in many different sub- ject areas, as well as through new writing activities. As Jon Andrews stated, Writing has benefitted me in being able to express my ideas clearly, it also has let me state my emotions on paper, as well as en- abled me to express my innermost opinions.
