Advisor Jay Sponagle replied, Yeah, they save your life. The Bike Club ' s primary goal was to promote biking and safety. Hel- mets were required, bikes were checked for malfunctions and safety procedures for cyclists were fol- lowed. The Bike Club was founded by Mr. Sponagle because many students displayed an interest in cycling. They kept asking about forming a club, so we did. In its smooth fourth year, the Bike Club had members like senior Heather Bickford who liked to ride bikes because it ' s good exercise and it ' s also fun. 50 Croauet Bike

You know, the ones chasing a little wooden ball around the field trying to beat it into submission with a big wooden hammer? Well, they ' re an elite group of sen- ior athletes who ' ve earned a Varsity letter, maintained a 3.00 C.P.A. or above, and filled out an application to become members of the Royal Capis- trano Valley Croquet and Sportsmen ' s Club. These athletes play croquet and of- fer the school their services. Advisor Lord Cipe said, We ' re basically a school service club. We ' re here to help out anybody with whatever en- deavors they have. Besides playing croquet and help- ing out with certain activities, this club also allows these senior athletes to be together and enjoy their last year at Capo. It ' s a good way to keep the guys together after our season of football, said Premier Craig Mash- burn. ► HAMMERING A HIT - Craig Mashburn watches as Marc Shulga steadies his mallet before hitting the wooden ball.
