u-and-.. Q Make Dem JSA was founded this year by its President, Robert Mayhew. With advisors Bob Salley and Bob Beran the club was able to organize a chapter. JSA Chapters involve school- sponsored clubs whose members work together to plan and conduct political awareness activi- ties forthe entire student body and local community. Guided by their motto Make Democracy Work , Junior State gave high school leaders the chance to meet and exchange goals, infor- mation and ideas. This was accom- plished through three day confer- ences held twice a year with over six hundred students delegated from across the state. Blair High's JSA was lucky to participate in the Fresno conference and the Los Angeles convention at the Los Angeles courthouse. These conferences offered the opportunity to meet with politicians, state TOP LEFT: FRONT ROW: Cammie Christian, Jim Cronk, Bill Crosby, Ginny Humpherey, Chris Cruz, Bob Cantrell, Karen Francis, Julie Parola, Kathy Pursel, Robert Mazurek, PeterPaul Vita, Karen Helsing.

Since citizenship experiences can only be gained by active par- ticipation, all aspects of the JSA program were carried out by students with a minimum of adult assistance. In fact, all law-making, communication, publicity, conven- tion arrangements, budget planning and expansion projects were the responsibilities of the selected student officers. In this way, the students themselves truly learned first hand to make democracy work . UPPER LEFT: inquisitive as to the topic of discussion, Robert Mazurek raises a ques- tion at JSA meeting.

Jeopardy Goes Strong The Jeopardy Club of Blair High School enjoyed its 4th year of lunchtime competition this year. The 32 member club was founded in 1972 by Social Science teacher Ed Taylor. The club is now advised by Blair's own Farmer Dan Robinson, a three year jeopardy veteran. Due to the absence of Art Fleming, Robin- son assumed the MC role. The club also received assistance from Mr. Joiner and some other faculty members. Jeopardy was dominated this year by the Mounties, a senior team. But junior teams Hot to Trot, Comic Strippers, and Herman's Hermits provided some tough competition. The first semester the Comic Strip- pers finished in second after drop- ping two in a row to the Mounties in the finals. Other teams were the Other Team, the College Preps, the Big M's, which we think means big mistake, and Cruz-Everett. Cruz- Everett won the booby prize for finishing last. Overall, the Jeopardy Club had a fun and interesting year, and it was the scene of much excitement for everyone. 15 tc B232 P' A x Q 's I? a S a ,,, tis, W 'L eigl-1 ss x 2 +113 . , '--1 asia - .
