4 7 c 0£ fa£eaU Senses such as seeing, hearing, and feeling were used every day by everyone; but some talented students used their gifts, turning to drawing, singing, and acting. The art club was a way to improve d rawing and painting while having fun at the same time. Art is so relaxing and I ' ve loved to draw as long as I can remember, said sophomore Ginger Kerames. The club, consisting of 15 artistic students, raised money by selling calendars which, of course, they had designed themselves. It ' s great to see people enjoying something you ' ve created, said sophomore Andrea Martin. The club paid visits to museums or just to quiet scenic places where creative minds could work undisturbed. The members helped by repainting the mural at the front of the school, and each month they met to hear a guest — usually a college art teacher — lecture on a form of art. Hearing the harmony of singing was a pleasure in itself, and actually making the harmony was even more exciting. Consisting of Concert Choirists and Saint Singers, the club was full of talented musicians who made further contact outside of the club. Sophomore Ava Truitt said, I enjoy the singing, the people are nice and friendly because we all work together in either Saint Singers or Concert Choir, and so we have a lot of fun. The Harmony Club sold candy and worked bingo to earn their way to the World of Music Festival in April where they voiced their talents and competed against other schools. Contrary to past years. Thespians was labeled a dormant club because it did not have an on-campus advisor. It ' s purpose was to raise money for the two drama productions. The club was very important because without it, the entire drama department would have suffered. Whether painting, singing, or raising money. Art Club, Harmony Club, and Thespians gave students an opportunity to use their skills in more than the usual sense of the word. On the firs! Club Activity Day. Mr. Givens talks about the clubs plans to potential new members. 96 Student JtCfa

cutcU Oaf It ' s bigger and much more exciting! said senior Peter Chen of VICA. The VICA club grew because there were more students in the Drafting classes. They competed in local competitions against as many as forty others in each category — architecture and electrical drafting, auto shop, cabinetmaking, speech, leadership, and photography — hoping to make it to state competition held yearly at Sacremento where they could win scholarships and tools. To pay for the traveling fees, the students sold candy, and worked in snack bars. The competitions is helpful because it tells me what level I ' m in compared to others, and it helps me prepare for my future said architectual drafting senior Phil Sanchez. The Cabinetmaking club, working with Mr. Bremer, continued their tradition of promoting fine workmanship, and encouraging students who would like to improve. Even though membership was required, some students such as Craig Collier go out of their way to join the club because he said, I really like to work with wood. While making their cabinets in class, they learned to work with others and exchanged suggestions. The interest in repairing and modifying cars brought students together to form th Auto Club. Under the direction of Mr. Abbott, the club planned a car show which would help pay for their tickets for the Winter Internationals in February. President senior Debi McDonald said, it ' s fun to go, and you get to learn about cars and the drivers. While working on the computers, sophomore VICA memvers Jimmy Miii . i. Scott Pick, and Shannon Troncoso construct their floor plans during fourth period Drafting Tech. ?Z Student Jlt{e
