■10 out I aient VMVw %WAW vwwv Montage and Speech were excellent in communicating - A W When people tnink of student communica- tion, they tend to think of the school newspa- per. But there were other forms that dealt with communication. They were Montage and Speech. Montage ' s all-con- suming goal was the successful publishing of Walnut ' s very own literary magazine. Montage was a collec- tion of poems, photo- graphs, prose and art submitted by students or English teachers for students. The club had more time to meet with the return of Jim Stratton from teaching at Cal State Fullerton. Last year we basically did things on our own, said Art and Photo Edi- tor Maricar Estrella. I didn ' t know high scnool-aged students were so talented, said staffer Kristina Kim. That ' s why the staff worked with such intensity — to show everyone the talent of Walnut High. Montage wasn ' t the only club that worked towards student com- munication. The Speech Club was very serious about their competitions. In the fall, the city of San Bernardino sponsored a weekend competi- tion at San Bernardino City College. Brian Gil- lespie received an hon- orable mention medal. The club also partici- pated in competitions by the Rotary Kiwanis, and Lions Clubs. story by Mary Ann Ca- barlo: layout by Alicia Rodri- guez: photos by Paul Mal- danado and Jack Elliot, f ▲ SPEECH CLUB.

Oh Myi Honoring athletes and relaxing recreation basis for clubs There are many dif- ferent honors a student can receive academi- cally, but few can one receive athletically. The adviser of the Lettermen ' s Club, Jim Polite, felt there should be something more for athletes. I started Letter- men ' s because I felt there was a need to recognize athletes and their achievements, said Polite. The club was in charge of handing out etters and the 400 club. To be on the 400 club, you got so many points for participating in a sport, said Letter- men ' s member Coby Polite. When you reached 400 points, you got a patch and were in the club. While not playing for points, another club on campus, the Table-Ten- nis Club, was started by president Eric Peng as a form of recreation. Eric enjoyed ping- pong and he saw that enough people were in- terested to form a club, said member Wil- liam Hsu. The club played tour- naments mostly during lunch and on a few weel ends. We didn ' t have any equipment at first to play any games, said Table-Tennis player Chan Chou Chuang. But we eventually got tables and now we play fairly regularly.
