Computer Club The Saint Stanislaus College Computer — User’s Association (S.S.C.U.A.) was founded during the ’SB¬ ’S? school year. This new club’s inception was a col¬ laborative effort between five S.S.C. students, Mr. Franklin (who would become moderator), and Brother Paul Montero. The S.S.C. Constitution states the club’s purpose as: “. . . providing information and support to student computer users of all systems, providing a forum for members to share interests in an informative setting, and providing a function wherein spiritual, moral, and cultural interactions could be promoted.” As a member of Apple Computer Clubs interna¬ tional, S.S.C.U.A. is involved in various merit competi¬ tions. Members are encouraged to participate in several service projects throughout the year. The most important social service involves sharing computer literacy with elementary school students in the Bay Area. In addition to service projects, the club tours local businesses to see “hands-on” usage of computer facilities. This year’s most memorable visit was to the N.S.T.L. computer complex, which proved to be very educational and exciting for all the members attending. Club Members: William Franklin moderator, Truman Schultz, Scot Pfaff, Greg Keife, Mike Switzer, Alex Helwig, John Swider, Chris Arcement, Mario Alessi, Eric Hill, Key McKinnis, Bruce Barker, Chris Gilbert, Carl Bolian, Greg Blanchard, Will Falcon, Jarrod White, Wedon Brown, Mesute Atimtay, David Gianechini. 26 Features

Drama What is Drama? Drama is the soul of the stage, the life of an actor, the essence of the script. 1986-’87 saw drama in the form of Joseph Kessel- ing’s three act comedy “Arsenic and Old Lace.” The play concerns two eccentric spinster sisters who have the habit of murdering their guests with spiked elderberry wine. The 15 member cast was composed of students from our school as well as Our Lady’s Academy. The cast included Abby Brewster played by Sabrina Ker- sanac; Martha Brewster by Leslie Gleber; Teddy Brewster by Robert Maynard; Mortimer Brewster by Colin Schmit; and Jonathan Brewster by Scott Com¬ eaux. The play was under the direction of faculty moderator Walter Damiens. 28 Features
