Writing Club Jeff VVeadock. Jess Meredith. Stephanie Phillips. Brent Johnson. Christian Kddleman. Kris Maples. The Writing Club is a weekl gathering of students who want to share their writing. It encourages students to develop their writing as an act of re-creation, not merely a means of communication. Poems stories, and journal entries that flow out of each person’s personal experience, ideas, and insights art read during the meetings. Wc discuss what the writing is saying and how it's being said. Occas- sionally, the writer asks for con- structive cirticism of his or hei work. While some students plan t enter careers which will involve writing, what we hold in commor is that we are all amateurs — w love writing and so we gather tc share it. Dr. Dan Rus Art Club This has been the first year for Trinity to have an Art Club.

Teen Missions Left to right: David Brookes. Jenny Kaspareit. O. J. Graves. Rachel Deffinbaugh, Barbie Carpenter During the summer of 1985. five Trinity students participated in teen Mis- sions. Teen Missions is a non-denominationa! group which sends teenagers around the world to serve the Lord in various ways. Each person becomes part of a work or evangelism team which is sent to a foreign country. The students who participated in Teen Mis- sions this past summer had the opportunity to learn about different cultures around the world. They also learned more about themselves as they served the Lord by building walls, repairing buildings, and spreading God’s Word to people in other lands. Office Aids Kathy Johnson.

They contributed to the school by helping with the operation of the library. They prepared new books, worked at the circulation desk, taught other students how to use the library, and produced audio- visual materials.
