As Mrs. Minerva Kimbell, club sponsor, put it, The highlight of the year was our trip to Monterrey. Students prepared for the trip by selling M8cM's throughout the school year and carnations at Christmas time and Valentine's Day. The group spent their five-day tour shopping, exploring the city and visiting various attractions around town. Gifts, souveniers and something special for each individual were all that the tourists had to show for their trip, as shopping played a major role in activities. Everyone enjoyed the good value they got for the dollar. One day was spent at nearby Horsetail Falls in the mountains. Here the group had a chance to view the beautiful falls while some went to the top and explored caves. After their day at the falls, the group dressed up for a night out. After dinner, a few of the people went for buggy rides. Late nights were spent in the hotel talking with friends and playing cards.

ARC HEMEDIAN Know-how n this technological day of computers, the metric system and impersonal lifestyles, culture was rarely witnessed and very difficult to find. Although traveling exhibitions drew some culture-seekers, the largest multitudes seen around the three-museum area were not attracted by a new exhibit, but by the golden gloves competition. Yet, humanities, a compact lesson in art, music and philosophy attempted to provide interested pupils with a healthy, and perhaps, initial, dose of cultural education. In the unfamiliar environment of Mr. Rolf Eklund's Cfacultyj classroom, music, art and the great philosophies of the world were traced to their geneses. The somewhat unusual beliefs of thinkers Kauf and Sehoepenauer were discussed and applied to today. By injecting his odd humor into the laid-back environment, Mr. Rolf Eklund created a somewhat painless senior English substitute. Between dabbing in the periodic chart, constructing isomers and cooking for K- Students create a better understand- ing of things unknown labs, chemistry and physics students merged with the minds to create the Archemedian Society. With aspirations to vacation in the comfort zone of Florida, Archemedians sold M8cM'S and mugs in order to finance the costly venture. The group visited the Noble Planetarium in Fort Worth for a solar adventure. But perhaps the most enduring project of the Society was their before- school tutoring offered to all interested. In this' way, the talented members of this elite club shared their know-how with those who truly needed it. Katie Eklund The Archemedian Society sponsored a NASA assembly.
