Monique Moxey, Linda Wallace Drama Creates Creative Illusions The Drama Club is really the nucleus of the Drama Department, explained Drama teach- er, Mrs. Saracino. The Drama Club didn ' t put on any of their own productions because it would have cut too many other students out of the picture. The club did, however, put on small performances for the general public around Christmastime. Eight Drama Club members went to University City Village and performed five scenes there. Mrs. Saracino was trying to get UCHS to become a chartered member of the Interna- tional Thespian Society. The members of the club had to earn at least ten points to qualify for admittance to the Drama Club. They earned their points by having a role in a play, working on lights, setting props and building the sets for productions. At the end of the year they finally had enough people to become chartered members of the UCHS International Thespian Society. Charmed I ' m sure Oh darling it ' s alright.

Fun, Credit And Experience It ' s one of the few places where you can see the results of your work, commented Bill Yeamans, a member of the Graphic Arts Club. The purpose of the club is to give graphic arts students the opportunity to finish and get ahead in class projects. Advanced students worked on production for the school and print- ed material for the community. Chad Neale reflected that Mr. Schofield ' s curriculum was demanding, but really helped us find our abilities. A few of the student monitors for the year were Eric Kay, Dora Barrett, Junior Williams, and Tami Lopeman. The club finished their year of production with a relaxing two-day trip to Magic Mountain, a well-deserved break from the schedule. Back row: Ayad Kazzazi, Bill Yeamans, Brian Engleman, Mike Boren.

Taking Care Of Business Tricycle races, apple bobbing, and balloon stomps ... To whom do we owe all these crazy memories? The Associated Student Body was the student government who helped bring about the fun side of school. They sponsored many of our dances, pep rallies, and lunch ac- tivities this year, and made school more excit- ing than the students ever imagined. ASB tradi- tions such as the Homecoming Parade were started, and past traditions such as pie in the face continued to be a smash. Besides all the entertaining activities, ASB also arranged canned food drives, blood drives, and had sev- eral other activities in order to raise money for the needy. The goal of ASB last year was to lay a strong foundation for future years, establish a sound base, and to maintain a good number of fantastic activities throughout the year. This year they accomplished all their past goals, and also got more people involved in school decisions, activities, and policy making. Mr. Price, the ASB advisor commented, We want everyone who leaves this school to be able to say that they had a part of it. . ' A -N —- Ken Park prepares a fun-filled A.S.B. activity. ' «■:»?
