Going clubbing: Stop by Sequoia’s newest clubs

BY ADAM TRINKLEIN Staff Reporter

It’s easy to start a club. The presidents and members of newest clubs on campus told the Raven Report a little bit about what their club is all about.

Spikeball Club

Every Thursday, at lunch, Bagel Club meets in Gym two for bagels and a movie. Attendees vote on a movie to watch and bring hundreds of bagels with various spreads, including Nutella, cream cheese, strawberry cream cheese, and more.

“Bagel Club helps fight food insecurity. We take bagels that didn’t sell from various stores in the area and we redistribute them,” Aurelia Viner, President of the Bagel Club, said.

Pacific Automative Club

Another fun club to visit at lunch is one where you hang out with friends and play games. Juegos en Español club is an inclusive place to play games, speak Spanish, and hang out. Anyone is welcome to join but keep in mind that the idea is to speak Spanish.

“Si vienes te puedes reunir con nosotros y podemos jugar” (If you come reunite with us we could play [games]), club executive and junior,Valeria Aguilar Ramirez.

“La meta de este club es para convivir con otras personas que hablan la misma idioma o personas que no hablan nuestra idioma” (The goal of this club is to congregate with people who speak our language or people who don’t), Ramirez said.

It is intended for Spanish speakers but all are welcome. They meet in room B9,Tuesdays at lunch so show up!

Rock Climbing Club

Spikeball Club plays Spikeball every Friday at lunch on the football field. Students play just for fun or as part of a bracketed tournament that is sometimes set up for extra competition where members can practice teamwork and get some exercise.

“The more people that show up, the greater chances we have of getting a grant to get more Spikeballs,” said junior Moritz Schenk, president and founder of the Spikeball Club.

Bagel Club

Seniors Liam Russell and Charlie Azadi started this club for students interested in learning about how cars work, which cars are the fastest, or just wanting to drive. Members can learn how to repair cars too.

“We’re going to be planning some big group dives. We’ll go in big caravans and zoom-zoom up around Skyline,” Russell said.

Juegos in Español Club

Rock climbing club is run by president, senior Evelyn Harrington and is welcome to everyone of all skill levels, even those who have never rock climbed before are encouraged to join and try out a new sport.

Rock climbing Club plans meet-ups outside of school where many of the members go climbing at a gym. Currently they are trying to raise money to go outdoor climbing.

“We try to teach people how to rock climb no matter what your ability is and how experienced you are,” Jonah Lipson, vice president and co-founder of the club, said.
