Cameras, skis needed for hobbies re you going on that ski trip this weekend? Yeah! Maybe we could get someone to take pictures. We could get PST to do that. The Photographic Society of Thornridge QPSTD and Ski Club were two hobby clubs that attracted many stu- dents. PST began the year with a new sponsor. Mr. Chet Chy- linski got the club oft to a good start despite the use of only one camera. By the end of the school year, the club grew and people began taking interest with their own cameras. Events such as pep assem- blies and basketball games were covered by this group of amateur photographers. The club was very interesting, and it would be nice to apply what I learned here to later life, stat- ed Kim Kyser, senior. The Ski Club was under the supervision of Mr. Don Bush. During the special homeroom and at several meetings the club planned various trips. Some places attended were Ski Americana, Little Switzer- land, and Timber Ridge. The highlight ofthe year was a trip to Aspen, Colorado. Despite the club being smaller, the en- thusiasm ot the members was still strong, stated Mr. Bush. These two clubs proved that hobby enthusiasists were still very much in existence.

Answer: Department clubs which were Ornamental Horti- culture, Social Studies, Span- ish, French, German, and Jr. IAD club. Added to the traditional centerpieces for Thanksgiving and wreaths for Christmas, Cr- namental Horticulture sold roses during February for one's sweetheart. The Social Studies Club had new members who continued the selling of suckers, Star- bursts, Skittles, and held weekend carwashes to help pay their way abroad. The club enables me to experience the excitement and thrill of travel at a viciously low price, said Denise James, junior. The foreign language clubs also had fundraising activities which ranged from calendar to candy sales. The money went for club activities like attend- ing plays, parties, and field trips. Spanish Club held a special bake sale to send money to help Mexican earthquake vic- tims. Fundraising was the real backbone of French club. Without it outside school ac- tivities would be impossible, stated Anne Larson, senior. Jr. IAD was a club for the hearing-impaired students. Money raised went for camp- ing, a trip to Great America, a donation for the famine vic- tims in Africa, and sponsoring a student in the deaf olympics. No matter what club a per- son joined he was assured of having to sell something and having a good time in and away from school.
