Auto Club Starts It Up Scott Bracci was into cars, he said. The best way for him to learn more about them was to join Auto Club, and that ' s what he did. Auto Club was made up of every- one in Advanced Auto, plus a few others who were interested. Mem- bers usually weren ' t planning to go into an aulo career — they just liked cars. Besides being allowed to work on their cars during school hours. Auto Club members enjoyed other benefits, like going to the pit stops at the Winter Nationals.

GAA Opens Girls ' Sports To All Girls Athletic Association was the girls ' sports club. It was orga- nized much like the Lettermen ' s Club, right down to the fun- draisers, but its membership policy was different: Any girl was eligible for membership. Although members were usually active in sports, physical prowess wasn ' t necessary to be a GAA member. The club was trying to ex- pand its membership to include all types of girls, both those in and out of sports. Maybe that way they ' ll go out for sports, said president Liz Swyter. GAA is a fundraising club, like many others on campus. It goes for the profitable activities, the cream of the crop — fundraisers, ban- quets, etc. — and then it uses the money earned to buy athletic equipment the school can ' t.

Carl Giles called the Lettermen ' s Club a representation of athletic excellence. Mr. Warhurst called it a legal arm to raise money for sports, and then went on to add that it had nothing to make its members give their time to it. Any guy with a letter or who was in varsity sports was automatically a member of the Lettermen ' s Club — volunteered, as Carl put it. As one might expect, it was loosely or- ganized. Its members met about once each quarter to plan their various fun- draisers: the Donkey Basketball game, the Lift-a-Thon, and candy sales. Then they decided how to spend the money they ' d raised, usually buying athletic equipment and other things to improve the gym. Clubs 25

On The Go The International Club ' s pur- pose was to help people learn about other countries and cultures by see- ing them first-hand. They planned two main trips for the year: one three-day trip to Mexico and one five-day trip to Canada. We have a lot of fun going places, said Eric Thomas. Good Time The Art Club ' s purpose was to make its members and others aware of the diversity of art around them through trips to various art museums, historically interesting places, and other artful attractions. The club ' s activities included trips to the Los Angeles County Muse- um of Art, the Huntington Library, and the Art Center College of De- sign. Most of the club ' s activity was outside the school, but it made its presence known on campus through murals on the gym and front walls. The club also liked to pamper itself, designing its own T- shirts and having them silk- screened for all to see. This was one club that didn ' t do much fundraising — it only had one sale, of ceramics. International Club, Front: Sonya Gore, Eric Thomas, Tonette Gore.

VICA Does It Industrially VICA, Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, was one of a few national organizations on campus, but there was a difference: VICA was a club of achievement. It was an organization in which students could further and test their skills in their chosen fields. These interests included electronics, auto mechan- ics, drafting, woodworking, and other vocational and industrial classes on campus. VICA members participated in statewide competitions against oth- er members where they could see what others in their fields were do- ing and what job competition might be like. San Dimas members also kept themselves busy with such things as candy sales and a swap meet to raise money for their travels.
