JOHN DAY – Grant Union science club served up mountains of spaghetti Oct. 28 for its annual spaghetti feed fund-raiser, one of the seven fund-raisers they do each year.

Fund-raisers pay for their white-water rafting trip in the fall and their end of the year trip. Last year, they went to the Oregon coast.

Science club was started 22 years ago by Mr. Ediger and it has been going strong ever since.

To be a member of the club, students have to be a junior or senior and be enrolled in science. Most universities prefer that students have at least three years of college prepatory science.

“We try to make it an incentive to stay in science,” Mr. Jones said, “and educational and fun.”

There doesn’t seem to be any complaints from its members.

“I think science club is pretty much awesome,” Eric Coats said.
