. f l Shes Bringing hobbies into school, Coin, Ski and Chess Clubs gave students an oppor- tunity to share outside inter- ests. The Coin Club was impor- tant to students who were in- terested in coin collecting. lt was a place where members could exchange their dupli- cate coins, increase their knowledge ot coins, and learn how to grade coins. The Ski Club had over 50 members and combined with Thornwood to run ski trips on weekends and holidays. The one-day trips included Ameri- cana, Little Switzerland and chool groups dbvekqz hobbkw Timber Ridge. Weekends were spent at Whitecap and Big Powderhorn Mountain. The ski trips gave us some- thing to do with friends instead ot just sitting around inside, stated Kacey Paw. The Chess Club started a third consecutive season in contention tor the SICA East title. The team finished its sea- son l2-O with a clear win in the SICA East division and turned in an impressive tenth place in state out ot over 70 teams. The special-interest clubs in- vited students to develop their hobbies while bringing torth new experiences. CoinfSki!Chess Clubs 89

School, Work, home - repea tl Get up, go to school, go to work, go home, eat, crash out, and repeat. Many CEA stu- dents can relate to this every day routine. To some, CEA meant get- ting out of school early. To oth- ers, getting two credits and be- ing paid were what CEA was all about. However, Lisa Sie- bert, treasurer, said, HCEA gives me a great deal of exper- ience. l have the advantage of being in a work program. I now have a job and unlike oth- er teenagers, l'm not still look- ing. To give the 21 enrolled stu- dents a chance to get out soon- 9O CEA at er and start working faster, CEA started at 7:25 a.m. Stu- dents worked at such places as lBM, Ingalls Hospital, and Northern Trust Bank. CE gave students a chance to experience leadership roles such as being classroom offi- cers and area officers. Mary Ann Peck and Lisa Seibert were area officers as well as class CEA officers, stated Mrs. Mildred C'Rourke, coor- dinator.
