Together Club members partici- pated in many activities during the year. Marching in the Homecoming parade, making a banner for spirit week, and putting up decorations for Christmas were only a few of their enthusiastic endeavors. ln order to raise money the club held a gym jam in October and ran the concession stand for a basketball game. In spite of a few set backs, such as cancelled activities, the club felt they achieved a successful year. Together the members planned new activities and as one member stated, found a group of new friends. i l-if amiga-NERQ X A X..11 .... or ' - 'tjysfah A , ir Above: Together Club members enthusiasti- cally march to show their school spirit.

Trekkies discuss sci-fi ideas R2D2, space warp, and Trekkie were words often bantered about during a gathering of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Society, spon- sored by Engish teacher, Mrs. Shar- on Snyder. The main objective of the club was sharing ideas about science fiction and fantasy through discussions, films and books and playing games that stimulated the imaginations of its members. Commanded by officers Rich Fos- ter, Grant Miller and Julia Martin, the club took excursions to such sci- fi movies as Altered States, Excali- bur, Flash Gordon, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Incredible Shrinking Woman. When not at- tending film showings members as- sembled for an interesting game of Dungeons and Dragons. To fund activities members sold candy and refreshments at the bas- ketball game and used the profits to subscribe to sci-fi magazines. When asked what she liked most about the club, Mrs. Snyder stated, I like the feeling that people with an interest similar to mine have a chance to meet, talk, go places together and exchange ideas. gf' SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY Front Row: Laura Gannot, Communications Officer Grant Miller.
