Both take field trips which allow to test new techniques. ch Wildemess Education class takes a trip to the La Honda ropes course where they spend the day climbing trees and traversing tight wires 90 feet in the air. 'lAfter you do the ropes, you're really exhausted, but you feel as though you've really accomplished something, commented junior Raul Vera. The rock climbing class takes similar excursions. Weather permit- ting, the class takes at least one trip a year, usually to the cliffs of the Pinnacles. The rock climbing class created so much enthusiasm that students began to take weekend trips, sepa- rate from class, under the direction of Cramton and science teacher Phil Miller. 'Climbers climb because the rodcs are there to be conquered, stated senior Oscar Vera. lt helps you to realize your limitations. Outdoor activities also extend beyond the school year.

Added to these organized activi- ties are several informal groups.

The cafeteria was strategically di- into three areas, providing activities and pastimes Seaquence played stage, as people danced below. progressive rock included songs, and ones by Gene- Asia, Pink Floyd, and others. A clearance was made in ront of the stage to provide a com- act but efficient dance floor. Tables in the rest of the cafeteria seated people grabbing a bite to eat or resting on danced-out feet. Student Government members brought refreshments, the Booster Club sold food while students cleaned up. This was not the first time such an activity was held. Called the Coffee House last year, it was not as suc- cessful, perhaps because of lack of entertainment. Fallon had originally caught on to the idea of a Coffee House at a workshop the year be- fore. That night was actually the sec- ond time Seaquence set foot on lvlit- ly soil. Seaauence had originally been scheduled to play before Pen- ny Lane last October lst. But the foot- ball game had been rained out the day before, and both events were packed into one hectic Saturday, leaving no room for Seaauence's performance. Thus, they made their reappearance for the Nightclub! Concert. improvements aimed for next year are better advertisement and more variety in refreshments. Everything went as planned. The small crowd thoroughly enjoyed themselves, said Fallon. - Li lVliao -
