Inscriptions Chat N’ View

A glimpse of four clubs to get involved with. Feminist Club BSU

Inscriptions is an art magazine that takes writing and physical art from students and the lit mag staff publish it toward the end of the school year.

Lit Mag meets every Wednesday in room 168. Sophomore Erika Spencer is in charge of lit mag and would like more people to join the club.

“It’s really fun. I mean, especially if you like journalism, it’s a way to do it, but not joining a journalism class or your schedules already full,” Spencer said, “And we get a lot of freedom literally, because there’s not very many of us right now. So it’s like in yearbook, you have the editors and you kind of have to follow with what the editor says. But in lit mag, everyone’s kind of an editor. So it’s really good if you want to get something of your own out there.”

Chat N View is a movie club where students vote on a movie and then they have a week to watch it. Then, at their next meeting they talk about it.

Chat N View meets every Monday in room 372. Senior Harper Pack is in charge of the club and enjoys the casual nature of the club.

“It’s really fun,”Pack Said. “Especially for underclassmen, who don’t really know what to join or what to get involved in because it’s such a casual environment. And you can come and go. I mean I haven’t been to the meeting in like, three weeks, and some people will just show up. Other people will be there for one time, and then you ever see them again.”

Feminist Club was started by seniors Gracie Peterman and Hadley Carson last year. The students in Fem club talk about intersectional issues and how they impact our community.

Fem Club meets every other Thursday in room 362. Junior Noah Vacek is the treasurer and they want more people to join.

“It’s really a good way to get involved and make a change in the school, if that’s something that you’re interested in. We really focus more than some other clubs in doing something in the school more than just talking in the club,” Vacek said.

Black Student Union talks about certain issues going on with the black community, and they try to bring awareness to those issues.

“A lot of the history that we have is not put out to the public. So we’re really trying to just bring that up underneath the dirt and enlighten people about what’s really going on” senior Kieron Smith said.

BSU meets Thusdays before school during late start in room 221. Kieron Smith wants people to join.

“When I say Black Student Union, that doesn’t mean only black people can go. anybody’s allowed to come into our meetings and be part of the club. It’s just we mainly focus on our black issues in the black community, and try to be more awareness to that.” Smith said.

Many studies have suggested that eating more plant foods, such as pumpkin, decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality. It can also help a person avoid diabetes and heart disease, promote a healthy complexion and hair, increase energy, and a healthy body mass index (BMI). - Medical News Today
