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

Ceramics: an Outlet for Expression Ceramic students with an artistic ability can look at a lump ot clay and actually see something, revealed ad- visor and founder of the Ceramic Club, Adrain Reinis. Started four years ago, it now consists of twenty-three mem- bers. Occupied with creating various art objects such as ceramic bowls, cups, and pitchers, the students prepared to put their creations on sale at their Christmas and Spring Art Sales. Each student earned 80% profit for their art objects and 20% went to the Art De- partment. Approximately two thou- sand dollars made per sale went to- wards the purchasing of new eguip- ment. An Extruder-Coil maker, a slab- roller, electric wheels, and a semi- automatic trimming unit were among the new additions. Member Charles Rush summed it up: The Ceramic Club is really an outlet for us to express ourselves, make a lit- tle money, and get some recognition for our work. 4 Expertly.
