SUPPLY AND DEMAND There was no excuse for going to class unprepared. The pencil you lost in that pencil fight, and the gym suit your cat ate, could easily be replaced. Where? At the student store. Staffed by students, it stocked a large inventory of school sup- plies and gym clothes. Mr. Jim Shearer made sure the books were balanced. Proper bookkeeping was dependent on good math skills. Students who were willing to work hard, had regular atten- dance, and showed good behavior, were allowed to participate in Mr. Jim Moore ' s Math Lab. Another criteria for placement was low math skills. Small groups allowed individual needs to be met. Computer-assisted instruction proved effective. After school, any stu- dent with an interest in computers could pursue it further in the Computer Club. Here, whiz kids could brainstorm on the keys of the computers. The simply curious could explore and have questions answered by Mr. Chuck Dunn and Ms. Elizabeth LaVorgna. Jurupans were for- tunate to have these organizations on campus. 1.

MAKING THE GOAL Everyday after school, passersby heard the rough and tumble of sneakers pound- ing the boards in the gym. Hoop shooters concentrated on perfecting slam dunks that were deadly against the competition. On the fields, teamwork was rewarded with a well-executed field goal. Home runs and touchdowns added up to pro- duce trophy winners. Buffed, built and beefy biceps? How were these muscles developed? Through sheer determination and a will to succeed. The weight lifting class provided visual evi- dence that hard work did pay off. Coached by Phil Stokoe, Mike Goltry, Gary Peterson, Judy Berndt and Rox- anne Beckstrom-Sternberg, students were true Olympians. Ever wondered who sets up the enormous number of chairs and benches in perfect alignment for the captivating assemblies through the year? Who was responsible for the clean-up after the audience was cleared? In this, The Year of the Volunteer, finding service-minded students posed no problem. Hard workers offered their time and energy willingly and attacked the job at hand. It was a thankless job, but someone had to do it. Arranged props and backgrounds on the stage seemed to appear as if by magic. The figurehead behind the scenes 3 3. Rory Edwards struts his stuff on the basketball courts. was Ms. Donna Jones. The youth and enthusiasm of the 6th grade class added an extra dimension on campus. Channeling these attributes was the purpose of the 6th grade Class Club. It provided a sense of unity and unique- ness for our newest additions. This year ' s 6th grade class was the small- est in recent years. Ms. Roxanne Beck- strom-Sternberg sponsored this group ' s special activities. 6th graders were tradi- tionally bewildered by the rotating sched- ule, the increased numbers of teachers and rooms, and learning to deal with up- perclassmen. To add to this confusion, they had to remember which of the three daily lunch periods to take. ACTIVITIES 61 P-
