Clubs Math team adjusts to new advisor ust as an upcoming class brings new members with fresh ideas to VC's numerous clubs, changing advisors can also shed a new light on an old subject. With them, they bring novel approaches and untie ideas. In Sep- tember, 1978, our school saw students in search of clubs and clubs in search of advisors. Somehow they have found each other, and VC's extra-cur- ricular life flourishes. While some changes appear to have occured over night, in reality, the pro- cess was slow and tedious. Math Club's turn-over of advisors began two years ago as Mrs. Briggs assisted Mr. Shafer with after school sessions and meets. Although originally planned for last year, the end result did not occur until this year when Mrs. Briggs replaced Mr. Shafer. .Do adjustment problems exist? NI thinksof' replied Mr. Shafer. 'Well some of the kids I've worked I with two years. The first few weeks there were a few problems, but now things are working out because I'm staying out of itf' . Although she found no major prob- lems of adjustment, Mrs. Briggs did remark, I feel Mr. Shafer had one advantage over me. He's teaching more of the material that's on Math Club questions and he has more of the members in his classes. Mrs. Briggs also pointed out that the members had an advantage over her. I feel that since I haven't taken Math 11 and Math 12 in many, many moons, that some of the Math 12 students have more material fresh in their minds. The formulas come quicker. Did she have any doubts about tak- ing the position? No,t' she said, be- cause as a teacher it's expected of you to take clubs and other responsi- bilities. lt's part of your job.f' If fAbovej Various clubs involve physical activity and many hours of practice. The cheerleaders brush up on their routine for a weekend football game. fRightj The Halloween spirit flowed through the halls as October 31 neared.
