Academics merge with activities At 2:58 p.m. the ring of the bell meant home free to some, but to others it meant the start of the work in being involved in a de- partment club, one tied di- rectly to a specific aca- demic area. Jr. IAD, comprised of stu- dents from the SMA hearing impaired program, washed cars in the spring to help pay for a camping trip held at the end of the year. Students delivering floral arrangements were prob- ably members of the Horti- culture Club in the Science Department. At Thanksgiv- ing time centerpieces were sold, at Christmas wreaths were offered, and for Valen- tine's Day roses and carna- tions. The club had more success this year because we had more members, better attendance, and more projects, said Stacy Woodson, vice president. The language clubs were active. Gennan Club contin- ued to place in the Home- coming parade by winning 5rd in float competition. The annual Gummi Bear sale was held to raise mon- ey. With Mrs. Hodson leav- ing, there was a big change in the way things were run, but as Mrs. Leonhardt Knew sponsorl got more ac- quainted with us, things progressed nicely, said Ken Heritage, sophomore. Spanish Club attended a Mexican ballet at the Opera House and went on the an- nual trip to Great America. The French Club was not only for those who could speak French, but for oth- ers who wanted to learn about French culture. First place was once again taken for the Homecoming ban- ner contest. Some students attended a weekend camp- ing trip where French was spoken the entire weekend. Department clubs pro- vided students with social pursuit of an academic in- terest. Department Clubs

Hobbies provide group fu There was still a place for hobbies at Thomridge, as the Ski Club and PST con- tinued to attract student in- terest. Ski enthusiasts gathered in a special homeroom in D-205. Although no school- sponsored trips were orga- nized, students could plan trips of their ovim or just dis- cuss their favorite pastime. Downhill skiing to me was not just a sport. lt was a way of life. lt was a way of looking at that mogul-filled monster and saying 'Hey dude, let's party! ' said Tim Shellberg, senior. While Ski Club members were talking about swoosh- ing down the slopes, PST Il members were discussing F-stops and shutter speeds. Sponsored by Mr. Carl Lohmar, the Photographic Society of Thomridge met every Tuesday after school. They leamed the basic prin- ciples of taking pictures and developing film, as well as different lighting tech- niques. The ,students put what they leamed to work by taking some of the pic- tures of faculty posted on the faculty bulletin board. lt was fun getting togeth- er with people who share your interests and being able to share knowledge and ideas, stated Tim Sander, president of PST.
