Have you committed yourself to a club for this last year of Lone Oak?  If not, you’re definitely missing out on some major potential fun.  But don’t start counting your afflictions just yet!  Though the original Mr.T was hesitant to discuss club formalities, claiming, “I don’t talk about chess club; first rule.”, Sir Timothy Whitley did confirm the acceptance of latecomers with somewhat open arms.  Dues for new members are $5.00 and $1.00 for returning members.  Depending on your history with the chess club, either go dig four quarters out from your cup holder or postpone that Hot-N-Ready pizza until a later date.  A date when your $5.00 isn’t so pivotal to the future of your chess success.

    This year, the upstairs Morris of room 207 is offering the premier of the Writers’ Club.  They are said to be starting an online literary magazine solely for LOHS students and are attending the Atomic City Student Film Festival.  “We are just a place to grow and share in the field of writing,” declared Morris.  Though, in order to keep it interesting, clever members are vital.

    If literature isn’t your style or cup of tea, then try out Biology!  Mr. Wallace claims that the Biology Club will take two trips this school year.  “We’ll be taking what I like to call the Tennessee trip,” said Mr. Wallace.  “The Tennessee trip” entails the possibility of museums, aquariums, and much more.  He also mentioned traveling to Mammoth cave and seeing an old tuberculosis hospital.  “They’ll enjoy being in biology club anyway, but we take two trips to ensure it,” confirmed Wallace.  Who doesn’t love field trips?

    If you’re hesitant when regarding travels farther than down the street, Geocaching is where it’s at.  Mr. Fountain didn’t share who, but apparently some clever cacher found the first hidden item on the first day of school!  Most geocaching events take place within a mile of the school.  Though, with a mischievous gleam in his eye, he did say, “We just might exceed the mile.”  Nothing crazy I presume, so, don’t be discouraged.

    “Work, work, work, crazy hours of the night,” provided Mr. Gill.  That’s what the Robotics team intends to do to bring home the last win for LO at the robotics meet.  Rumor has it, special trainers are even being hired for the last year. Sounds droidful!

    If none of the above mentioned clubs appeal to you, but you have excessive club based energy just pouring out, have no fear, love, there’s flash cheer club; designed with you in mind.  It’s evident that there’s an abundance of clubs to choose from which all in unique ways will ameliorate their members’ school year.
