Since there was more to student life than classes, homework, and jobs, clubs and organizations proved an essential piece in the puzzle of stu- dent life. Why join a club or an organization? When asked this guestion, most stu- dents answered with the general re- sponse that it ' s something different to do. Valerie Bremerthon, a drill team member explained, Drill Team gives you good experience if you want to become a dancer. Extra activities provided a chance to get involved in the school spirit and gave some sense of achievement and satisfac- tion. Scott Vincent thought band was important because it gave school spirit. By joining clubs and organiza- tions, students improved their educa- tion while they had fun and gained new friends. 16 Clubs And Organizations

4 Hats similar to the one worn by Joan Diebold were a familiar sight around campus w Shaded from the sun. FFA member Brian McMurray strolls across campus Urban Cowboys Come To Rancho Arlington I wear my cowboy hat because it ' s in style, revealed Mike Falsetti. The cowboy hat quickly became a com- mon sight around campus. FFA mem- bers have been wearing them for years, but the cowboy hat became popular with other students this year Most FFA members who wore cowboy hats didn ' t have any special reason for wearing them, they just do it. Even the football players wore cowboy hats. When asked why he wore a cow- boy hat, Larry Main answered, At first I started wearing it because everyone else did, but then they came out with the new feather band and I really liked it. Eight or ten football players could often be seen wearing cowboy hats at Shakey ' s after a football game The most popular style was the straw hat with a large feather band. A hat itself could be bought for eight dol- lars, but most bands cost about fifteen dollars. Despite the cost, more stu- dents showed up in cowboy hats day- by-day. Joan Diebold was proud to wear her hat because people told her that she looked good in it. Cowboy hats were certainly a major part in the game of style played my many AHS students. 4 Dave Arrant has traded in his football helmet and gone country. Student Life 15
