Hunger Task Force Science Science-Fiction Clubs Hunger Task Force Under the direction of Kevin Harkey, the Hunger Task Force was an organization de- veloped to provide Woodward students with the opportunity to be part of the solution of hunger in our community and our world. The most important activity of the year was Hunger Awareness Day in December. On that day, students agreed to give up their lunches so that the money for the food could be used to feed the hungry. Six hundred and twenty-five students and faculty participated in this successful special event. The Hunger Task Force also conducted a canned food drive. Approximately 1500 pounds of canned goods were collected and delivered to the Atlanta Food Bank. Among other events, the members of the Hunger Task Force conducted a trip to a local soup kitchen to help serve meals to the hungry and experience relief efforts first hand. Science Club The Science Club was a new organization for those students interested in the sciences and those who wished to experience as many areas of science as possible. Under the direction of advisor Martha Muir, the Sci- ence Club participated in a wide variety of activities, such as the State Science Bowl, and the Georgia Junior Academy of Science. They visited several scientific resources in the Atlanta area, and sent members to the Women In Science Conference. A subgroup of the club was a member of Gamma Chi Epilson which is the State honor society for Science. The highlight of the year was the club ' s presence at the launch of the Space Shuttle and visit to Epcot. Faculty involve- ment included Mr. Dearolph, Mrs. Gibson, Miss Babcock, Mrs. Carroll and Mr. Howick as heading one or more committees. Offi cers of the club included President Jin Kyung Han, Vice-Presidents Jennifer What ley, Vinay Desai, Rena Craig, Sally Smith The Treasurer was Lisa Henry, the Secre tary was Susan Kim and Scrapbook Editor was Beverly Banks Science Fiction Club Although established only this year, the Science Fiction Club had a strong year. Led by advisor George McKelvy, the clubs pur- pose was to learn about science, science fiction and fantasy through various activities throughout the year. The year began with role playing games and as the club grew, it was invited to Dixie-Trek ' 84, a Science- Fiction Convention at Oglethorpe Universi- ty. The future plans of the club include a trip to the tenth annual seaga ' 84 Atlanta Gam- ing Festival in June.

Debate Team Math Team French Club Debate Team One of the most prestigious clubs on cam- pus, the Debate Team once again brought awards and honor home to Woodward Academy. Directed by Cleo Hudson and Ron Walker, the debate program instilled the qualities of self-discipline and dedication in its members. Because of the intense dedi- cation of team members, the Varsity estab- lished itself among the very best in the state, region and now the nation. The experienced varsity team won more than 70% of their rounds in major tournaments and competed against the nations top debate teams at na- tional tournaments at Wake Forest, West Georgia, Mercer University and Northwes- tern University. The Junior Varsity Novice debaters had a successful season in that they won more than 80% of rounds and had several 1st place finishes. The debate team attended workshops during the summer for two four-week periods and also attended a four-day mini workshop for Woodward de- baters held on campus the week prior to the opening of school. The teams also spon- sored and hosted the Woodward Academy Invitational Forensics Tournament attended by 400 debaters from fifty schools. The teams also participated in The Barkley Fo- rum and State competition in February and District qualifications for Nationals. Math Team The Woodward Academy Varsity and Ju- nior Varsity Math Teams experienced an- other year of hard work and successful meets. With the coaching of Mr. Paul Meyers and Mrs. Nancy Bunker, the two teams received several awards from major tournaments. The two teams also hosted their second annual Math Tournament which was held on Woodward ' s campus. The tour- nament brought over 60 schools to Wood- ward. French Club New to the Academy this year, Le Cercle Francais, the French Club, with advisor Bun- ny Renkin, gave students in second year French and higher a chance to enjoy the French culture.

Also planned were trips to see French movies. 1 JV MATH: FIRST ROW - All a Jagdale, Nabuko Yamaki, Sally Smith, Lisa Emerson, BACK ROW - Amy Carter, Alan Scales, Charles Edmunds, Orlando Cano. 2, VARSITY MATH: FIRST ROW - Ann Askew, Jennifer Fahey, Lisa Merritt, Sheila Mobley, Sally Faulkner, Becky Benton, Jennie Oliver.
