rf a Akoiutl AckMBMSMt Mark Twain once said, Don ' t let school interfere with your education, but it seems as if Capo Valley is deliberately defying his immortal words. From calculator math to Algebra II, from advanced composition to remedial English, from Bible literature to speech and debate, from ROP construction to pho- tography, from accounting and personal financing to ceramics and jewelry — Capo provided classes for all ability levels and for all different needs and interests. Whether we were clicking away in Typing lA, build- ing gingerbread houses in German II, or tackling a del- ta-epsilon proof in calculus, we learned; sometimes eagerly, but most of the time only because we had to. And even though school is something we don ' t do by choice, it makes it a little bit more interesting when concocting moth balls in chemistry, re-enacting Shake- spearian drama in English, discussing the possibility of traveling through black holes in physics, or doing bun-squeezers in aerobics. And while some schools interfere with your educa- tion, Capo Valley gets out of your way, stands behind you, and shoves you along. 4

ICC WMth c ih b(j iMjmaiiM Ccmmiiliuilb Ijm hat is ICC, you ask? Intensely l Creative Cougars? ¥ W Well, it ' s an organization consisting of all the team captains (studs and studettes) and club repre- sentatives (brains), who get together and talk about activities. The pur- pose is to create increased commu- nication between school organiza- tions, said ASB Vice President Geoff Mukae. Like the House of Reps, ICC is be- coming another controversial form of democracy. But not to everyone. I felt that ICC was very informative; I found out where all of the athletic money was going, said senior Holly Anders on. While Holly thought it was worth- while, senior Shelley Zierhut felt ICC was a joke, I only went to one meeting because I got out of class. It was not very effective, we really didn ' t get anything done. But still, some ICC meetings were beneficial. We knew when to plan our activities so they wouldn ' t over- lap and it helped with the turnout, said senior Lori Quinton. Not only did it help plan activities, it also helped with fundraising. We exchanged fundraising ideas because we can always use a new idea for earning money, said senior Kath- leen Sotter. House Of Reps ICC 95
