Cheryl Forbes, Robin Twedt and Collen Atwell mix¬ ing a few things together. f One giant step. Dennis Flemming taking apart a packing crate in Mr. Patch’s class. We had eighth grade cheerleaders in Sub-Schools One and Two, along with our intermediate drill team and majorettes. They’ve kept the stu¬ dents alive with an over-whelming school spirit. The “Bear Facts’’ has been our newspaper, informing us a about the ac¬ tivities of our fellow students. The “Quasimodo” provided a means for publishing literature and art work created by the student body. The “Lair” is our 1973-1974 yearbook that has strived to bring together all the events and memories the past year has held. The Keyettes are a girls’ service organization. The Keys are the guys’ ser¬ vice organization. The Keyettes sponsored a canned food drive, sold mints, and held a leg contest. (Oh, wow!) The voices we heard on the intercom each morning belonged to the members of our broadcasting club. (We loved it when they hammed it up.) We had one language club, . .. Latin. Other clubs we could join were: the Equestrian Club, Ski Club, Yoga Club, Rifle Team, Chess Club, and a De¬ bate team. Jay Scott with Scott Brown in the background designed and built this candleholder—one ot the best projects this year in Mr. Patch ' s class.
