After carefully planning his position, the defense attorney stood to face the prosecution. With a simple nod from the judge, 1986 Mock Trial had begun. How did the case turn out? Well, that all depend- ed upon how both sides of the case were present- ed, and that, in turn, depended on the students participating. The Poly Sci club was an organization for stu- dents who wanted to acguaint themselves with law and government. The members of the Poly Sci club were particu- larly interested and enthused about the Model United Nations program at UCR. The Model con- gress at Cal. state San Bernardino, and the Mock Trial simulations. Now after all of this, you are probably thinking that only students that are determined to become an attorney or work for the government would be- come a member of the club. Chris Malafa ex- plained a simpler motivation: Right now, I don ' t plan on becoming a lawyer, I joined Poly Sci main- ly just for fun! e Eric Mittman contributes to a Poly Sci discussion.

Patience and Care Askance to atience and care, that ' s what Pthey had. Although they used their caring attitude to have a voice in school activities and their patience to work together to solve important school problems, PAC actu- ally stood for Principal ' s Advisory Council. PAC was a group of students nomi- nated by other PAC members and staff, then chosen by Doug Huckaby. These caring students had a lot of say in mat- f ters concerning the fate of our school. Not only were they involved with over- crowding, but also subjects such as bur- glary and student complaints. Mr. Huckaby ' s idea of PAC is a good one. It gives students the opportunity to voice their opinion. claimed 7j ' na Bold, a Sophomore on the council. Like other clubs, the success of PAC cannot be linked to one person. It takes the entire group ' s hard work and deter- mination to solve an important problem. Being on the council also helped stu- dents understand the work involved with keeping a school in tip-top shape. It takes a lot of work to keep a school going, but all of the setbacks don ' t mat- ter when you know that you helped your school to improve! concluded Ja- nie Ringdahl. e O PAc 81
