Science Club Takes Off . . . Front row: Deanne Welch, Heidi Nagel, Lisa Pratt, Gretchen Schulenburg, Kim Pierson, Erica Murray, Donna Curnutt, Cheryl Burdick. Second row: Bill Knouff, David Robledo, David Roberts, Corey Staddon, Kent Potts, David Odle, Mike Sayers, Chris Bufkin, Wade Shuey, Mike Frailey. The science club was organized in the fall of 1987. The purpose of this club is to develop an interest in the field of science and to learn how it relates to the world around us. Their first activity was a camp out at Indiana Dunes State Park in late fall, the last part of October. They visited a fish hatchery, studied the formation of the dunes, and went hik- ing on the trails. A trip to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago was enjoyed by many of the members during Christmas break. Plans are being made for 1988- 1989 projects and trips. Their goal is to have some money making projects “so we can go camping in Florida over spring break.” BADD Educates Members of BADD are: (front row) Lisa Murphy, Ruth Odle, Debi Shearer, Kim Haun, Paula Herre, Angie Jordan, Cathy Lane; middle: Alesia Killmer, Terri Hicks, Renee Woolley, Kathy Hodnett, Melissa Killmer, Tracy Justice; and last row: Corey Staddon, Brad Rodeffer, Marcy Robledo, A.J. VanMeter, Mike Skynard, Elaine Reyes, and sponsor Mrs. Messman. BADD officers are from left to right: Marcy Robledo, Corey Staddon, Elaine Reyes. BADD members have tried to get their point across in many ways. One of these was a trip to talk to the 5th graders about the effects of drugs and alcohol on a person and the family. They also put fliers on lockers at Christ- mas time and give away information at Prom. They feel that this information is very vital in preventing this terrible disease which affects so many people and is so dangerous. 17

RCHS Clubs: SERVICE TO SCHOOL , COMMUNITY Many clubs in our school are interested in promoting concern for those at RCHS and in our community. Such clubs are Hug, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Interact. Hug is a group of students working in cooperation with guidance counselors to help students with the prob- lems that they may face. During the ’87- ’88 school year, students seeking advice wrote to the club members and found suggestions in the Rensselaerien. Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a group made up of those students at RCHS taking part in sports and wanting to support those at our school and in our community. Led by Mr. Ryan with Lori Murphy, Heather Louck, Edwina Hughes and Ken Hickman as officers, the group planned to relax with a party later in the year. Interact, a new organization at RCHS during the ‘87-’88 school year, was involved in many activities including the Rotary foreign ex- change program and providing community services. The students of this group had many plans for aiding others, such as finding toys to give to or- phanages and working to wash cars.
