Otichffe IO.ob Close-Up Earns Its Way An exciting tradition for Austin High School students has been the possibility of go- ing to Washington D.C. on a special program that gives them insights on the working of our government plus the dazzle of travel from the center of Nevada. Many pies are baked and raffled off just for this purpose, along with any other idea that can materialize. On the left we see Liz Williams and advisor Miss Filip- pini ready to take a sale from Lavar Young. The students also receive donations from peo- ple who believe it is a great opportunity for Austin Youth. U ti The Close-Up students began with this group. Front: Jackie Knapton, Stephanie Campbell. Back: Liz Williams, Candi Ryan, Scott Berg, Clay Dalluge, and original ad- visor, Mr. Tremayne. Miss Filippini assumed advisor- ship after Mr. Tremayne was needed to coach all three basketball teams. All active students and faculty get plenty of respon- sibilities in a small dynamic school like ours. MAC — Mothers Always Care MAC was formed by Mrs. Lavar Young’s efforts to get interested parents to provide special activities for Austin’s 7-12th grade youth. A mock rodeo, a games night, and a Spanish fiesta with Mexican Food and slides from Spain were experienced. A true highlight was the Philippine dinner presented this past fall with true Philippine food being served and enjoyed by our Nevada youth. Parents contributed the food, and the cooking was a new adventure that required exchanging recipes and a few phone calls. To the left is a picture of Candi Ryan, Jackie Knapton, and Sharolyn Young learning the Philippine dance from Virginia Anthony who has recently arrived in the U.S. from the Philippines. We all heard clicking bamboo for weeks as they jumped to keep their ankles free. Virginia showed slides and gave a talk that really challenged some young Austin minds. ’(Name suggested by Mary Ann Jones) 21

Block A, the athletic Letterman’s Club deserves much applause for their efforts this year. Headed by Coach Tremayne, and constantly assisted by his lovely wife Sharon, the group has arranged for special events which not only raise money for the increasing expenses for participating in sports, but the events sponsored are actually great entertain- ment for the town of Austin. Top right photo pictures a member of the Harlem Travelers, a comedy basketball team that kept everyone in stitches since if they didn’t like the way you were doing something, they would take time out right then and show you how. Just a short time before the game, the coach had installed a new glass backboard which had been shattered a few weeks before. Within the opening moments of the tricks with the Harlem Travelers, it shattered again. Block A also sponsored a Turkey Shoot pic- tured to the right. This year at each of the games, Block A is providing delicious dinners as a fund raiser. This keeps everyone busy. Great work, Guys!
