The revving noise was coming from the Industrial Arts Building where the Auto Club members were investing patience, skill, and dedication. The Auto Club was organized in 1973, Arlington ' s first year, and has al- ways had many interested members. With its fifteen members this year, the Auto Club ' s primary purpose was to allow students to have a place and an atmosphere to work on their cars out- side of regular school hours. Money collected from dues and fund-raisers went towards buying more tools for the workshop and sponsoring their own parties. Another goal was to purchase a stereo to install in the shop for every- one ' s listening enjoyment. Under the supervision of Mr. Albert Caballero, their advisor, the students usually met twice a month. It was a proud moment when the students drove their cars in the Homecoming Parade and were able to show off their creativity.

MOTOCROSS CLUB FRONT ROW: Dee Dee Ash- ley. Mark Decker. Glenn Clark, and Nate Rauba. ROW 2: Gary Clark. Steve Stewart, and David Hollenkamp. TOP ROW John Rogers. Greg Roy- bal. David Villanueva. and Tony DeJulio. The Race Is On Sounds of the engines are pounding in your ears as the crowds are roaring from the sidelines. The engine noises cause every muscle to vibrate, your whole body becomes tense from the concentration. Your eyes are fixed on the starting gate, waiting for the mo- ment when you will spring into instant action. The gate thunders down. The race is on. Motocross racing is a physically de- manding sport which requires endur- ance, strength, and total concentra- tion. It takes real concentration to get there first while keeping ground and maintaining the pace. Among the goals of the Motocross Club were recruiting interested stu- dents to race against Motocross teams from other area high schools. The only requirement to be on the team was to have raced at least once on their own bike. Corona Raceway was the scene for the races. Backed by the school spon- sor, Steve Dickman, Tim Decker and Terry Milam performed the role of advi- sors for the club. Looking back on the troubled past, the Motocross Club hasn ' t always been fully accepted by the students or the administration. The problem of meeting the insurance requirements blocked the recognition of the club. President Nate Rauba contorted, We got the boot. Nate commented that most people had the idea that moto- cross racers were just looking to get hurt, but with the help and support of various people, incl uding Principal Liz Jennings, motocross got back into the swing of things. As Tony DeJulio put it. motocross racing is . . .not a glamorous sport — it ' s dirty. ... One of the worst things Tony could think of often occurs when the track is muddy. Mud gets in our teeth — all you can do is grin and bare it! Motocross Club 35
