X Each day, the announcements included a plea for support... We hope to see everyone in the gym Friday night to cheer the Dragon cagers to victory. The insistant plea for club involvement. Get involved! Join Art Club! The purpose? John Stuckey, assistant principal, stated: We find that students who are invol- ved in school generally like and enjoy it. Those who do not get involved tend to be disenchanted with school and its activities. Through involvement in sports, clubs, and academic activities, students met new people, col- lected new ideas, decided per- sonal interests, and expressed their individual personalities. lnvolvement Divider 9

Students give time School activities continued on into the summer. Preparations for the Ho- liday at Home parade continued at the DESC plant during night hours late in August. Fortunately we re- ceived a lot of support said Senior class president Jim Gridley. Some students enjoyed their last couple of weeks of summer lounged around pools while others became in- volved in conditioning and preparation for their fall activities. Practices for the football players began independently with the end of July. Dedication started the prac- tices stated senior tailback Tom Brid- gman. Two-a-day practices and coach guidence began in August. Junior Steve Ouamme spent part of his summer in Europe. Steve partic- ipated with a tennis tour. l had a lot of fun playing and touring the various countries stated Steve. Rhythmettes started practices at the end of June and continued with band camp in the middle of August. Early practices stressed marching style, steps and basic standing commands. Band practices started the first two weeks of August. Juniors and seniors to project helped the first two days teaching the sophomores the different commands. Editor of the Dragon, Lori Wing, at- tended a workshop at Ball State Uni- versity. The relaxed college atmos- phere was a nice change, but the work they expected us to complete in one day, made it obvious we were there to learn, not relax, stated Lori. Several students occupied themselves last summer by working. West people held a variety of jobs. Many worked at convenient fast food restaurants, others as store clerks and some as life- guards and recreation assistants. ,,:f-...
