A Variety of Campus Culture on Parade. What is culture? Culture is a pattern for living which people are expected to follow. Every person is born into a exist- ing culture, which must be learned and which shapes one's life. The parade of our culture on campus is made up of sev- eral unique clubs that center on the cul- ture and languages of France and Spain. Serrano also has an International Club which exposes Serrano's students to the varied cultures of foreign countries. Ser- rano also has an Art Club which intro- duces its students to the many forms of art in the world. French Club is basically all of the French classes put together. These students comprise the largest club on campus, consisting of over 85 mem- bers. Ms. Cindy Smith is the French teacher and the club advisor. Unlike most clubs, French club has the traditional president, Travis Munden, and period presidents as well. International Club's purpose is to send people away to other countries, Contrary to popular belief, this was not started by parents. Mr. Martin has led this group in fundraisers to help pay its way to Europe. These fundraisers included raffle tickets, a spaghetti dinner, message suckers, bake sales and candy bars. President, Darin Sehnert led the club in its many activities. Club Espanol is advised by Mrs. Vargas. The main goals of the club were to better the knowledge of the culture of the Spanish speaking people. Russ Herold was the club president and it was his duty to prepare the activities planned such as the trip to Mexico. Unlike most clubs, students must be enrolled in an art class to be eligible for membership in the Art Club, under the Ol.. user l INTERNATIONAL CLUB Left to Right, First Row: Spring Gonthier, Brenda Benson, Ross Nisley, Darin Sehnert, Paul MacAfee, Jett Fraser, Verna Gonthier, Second Row: Julie Bortvit, Shawna Wiley, Misty Metseff, Wendy Simcox, Suzy Null, Kim Jacobson, Nikki Metcaffe, Top Row: Jean Martin, Craig Thornhill, Jim Smith, Keith Coffey, Toby Powell, Russ Herold, Tony Andrews, Aaron Justice. iff' 1 1 direction of Ms. Balik, lt was a cultu appreciation club whose main interi were the beauty and pleasure of an int world around us.

S.F.S. was a program established to offera helping hand to students. ltwas a peer counseling class that stressed confidentiality and whose goal was to offer assistance and some guidance to troubled students. Trained listeners would deal with such problems as grades, family members, girlfriends, or boyfriends. Ms, Kane was the advisor for this dedicated group of students. Another new activity was Mock Trial, advised by Mr. Brown and Mrs. Schlegel. Mock Trial, as the name im- plies, is Iike a pretend court case in which Serrano competed against other high schools.
