Clubs provide creative outlets or a person trying out for the variety show, the GBS dance company is the perfect place to train. The primary function of the club is to train for the V-show, but not all the students in the club are in the V-show. Although the school catego- rizes it as a club, anyone can go to any of the meetings, which are essentially dance lessons, ac- cording to junior Alissa Menclell, president. The membership is actually the people who are there on a specific day. Mr. Brian Lynch, instructor, is a professional dancer who teach- es at Rhythmics in Deerbrook Shopping Center and performs at the Candlelight Theater in Summit. There have been a lot of improvements since the be- ginning of the year. l can tell from the quality of the dancing in the V-show, he stated. Mr. David H. Smith, assistant principal of student activities, also feels that the dance com- pany is beneficial for the stu- dents. I think our students have been very fortuate to have the opportunity to be exposed to the outstanding artistic talent of a professional of the quality of Mr. Brian Lynch. One of the most rewarding feel- ings in competition is when a team is competing and the crowd boos because they don't think that the score is high enough, according to Ms. Laura LaCursia, adviser of the GBS Synchronized Swim Team. That is exactly what hap- pened to the team, which placed second at the Maine East syn- chronized swim meet. Other meets that they competed lin were the Mundelein sync meet, the Halloween Propulsion Meet, the Michigan Regional Sync Meet and many others. Besides competing, the team, led by president Tracee Hoff- meyer, vice-president Jill Schultz, treasurer Sandy Dickau, secretary Nancy Hackl, publicity chairperson Karen Urevig, de- sign chairperson Caryl Koop and activities chairperson Sue Kuc- zek, put on a show at the end of the year. To train for the competition and the show, the team mem- bers went to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., for a workout session during spring break. I think that we all had a lot of fun, I hope we can go again next year! declared freshman Kath- erine Urevig.
