lubs set aside time for fun at schoo Approximately 15 students in the fall, and another 15 in the spring spend one hour a week climbing walls, walking under bleachers, and learning basic survival methods. The teens were members of the High Adventure Club, a group that emphasized taking kids out of a H720 environ- ment, according to sponsor Mr. Tony Calabrese. The program taught partici- pants how to live outside, using R nl J.: Chess Club adviser Mr. Ken Lucas fig- ures out his strategy for his next move. Garrett Wilson, concentrates on what he should do next. ponchos as tents, and com- passes to find their ways. The final activity was a weekend in the wilderness. Among the events of the outing were climbing and using a compass to get back to the campsite. In the spring the group spon- sored a triathlon, in which one must swim a mile, bike 20 miles, and then run 10 miles. Calabrese hoped that those who participated would learn how to deal with stress, thus learning how to make decisions in difficult situations. The Chess Club met Fridays after school in the Social Stud- ies Resource Center. President John Ver Geer, junior, set up schedules to determine who played whom. Another game club was the Combat Simulations Club, al- though the members took a more intellectual standpoint than they had in past years. At weekly meetings students dis- cussed and reconstructed ba tles. Mrs. Catherine Deans-Ba rett, sponsor, said, If a wor shop at a college or universi has a program for this type thing, we will participate. GBS students had amp clubs from which to choose challenge themselves outside normal classroom activitic These were just a few of tho' opportunities. l -. 76jChe s Club, Combat Simulations 8: High Adventure T7 1 . ai-In U . l

Another club that represent- ed South in precision dancing was the Titan Pom Pon squad. They performed at halftime of home games during the foot- ball and basketball seasons, as well as the Horizon, the Bad- gerette Fall Clinic, Palatine ln- vitational contest, and the V- Show. Even though the squad started just last year, it has al- ready earned recognition. With the club being together for only two years, we have ac- quired a great reputation. Peo- ple in this school, as well as other schools, have become more interested in what we do as well as who we are, com- mented Denise Kmiec, co-cap- tain of pom pons. Poms required a lot of work and organization, but for the squad it was the only way to get ahead. We put in at least two hours every day after school, five days a week, plus games and competition, com- mented Renee Hrejsa, co-cap- tain of pom pons. Practicing paid off when Poms qualified for state com- petition. Synchronized swimming was also a performance club. The spring show was entitled Be- ginnings, due to the fact that the club acquired a new coach, Miss Nancy Lawson. We have worked very hard for fi- gure competition the first se- mester. The swimmers are one of the hardest working and the most well-disciplined groups l've ever worked with, com- mented Lawson. Members began condition- ing in September by working on their breathing control, stroking, motivation, and en- durance. They began preparing for the show in December, with solo, duet, and trio acts. Then the choreography started for the show's 12 numbers on Feb. 2. Finally, on March 1, they started putting the choreo- graphed acts together with the rest of the acts. The club is looking forward to an exciting new show. The girls are working very hard to perform a very successful show in May, concluded Lawson. .zip-gg..
