hist a b brai %. Fantasy and fact come together in two clubs Why is It that the person who froze time can move? Time travel, light speed, and most espe- cially ' Star Trek ' were a few of the many topics discussed by the Sci- ence Fiction club. Not only would we discuss sci-fi issues, but we also talked about books we had read or movies we ' d seen, said adviser Donna Crisci. Many members en- joyed specific points in Science Fiction, but all agreed what goes on in the future was the most interesting thing in sci- fi. I like how books or movies show what could happen in the fu- ture, said club mem- ber Chris Ebmeier. Science Club also dealt with the future. but in a different way. The officers used this year to reorganize for next year. We started the club off too late to do any- thing, said president Quoc Nguyen. Science Club was started because advis- er Gary Fick felt there were many students in- terested in science. I thought that if people were interested enough, they might want to do something about it, said Fick. Member Albert Yuen agreed with Fick. Yuen said, Science interests me and I wanted to do more things related to It. story by Christina Mock: layout by Tessie l-lernandez: photos by Allen Odermatt.
