DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
Sponsor Dustin Arrellano Dungeons and Dragons is a role play game first published in 1974. It can also be referred to as a live action role play game. Many people do not understand the game, but the people that do say that it is a game of pure imagination. There are different kinds of characters which can entail human, dwarf, elf, halftling, half-elf, half-orc, and gnome. Class determines how the character will be affected. Your character will also have a moral alignment, this will determine how they act in certain situations. Lastly, players have to understand the dice. It’s a normal d20 dice, but you also have to rely on the numbers of other players. The sponsor for D&D club is Dustin Arellano each Thursday night after school. Dungeons and Dragons is a club that does not compete in anything except against each other in the game. The club is purely an outlet for students to express their imaginations. |

The events happen all around the Casper community. A majority of the money raised is used to help people in our local community. Some funds are also used to help around the world through an international group called the “Heifer Foundation,” which provides self-sustaining resources to families in third-world countries. How can you be a part of the NHS? In order to be a part of the NHS, students must be “nominated” during the course of their sophomore year by their teachers for showing character, scholarship, leadership, and service. They are then notified and must go through a process in which they submit an application for membership. Each member of NHS must contribute eight service hours per semester and have adequate attendance at bi-weekly meetings in order to be a part of the NCHS NHS. |
