The Hustle, the Bump, and maybe even the Twist are only a minute part of the wide range of dance steps and styles discussed and learned in the Modern Dance Club. This club was for any girl interested in dance of any sort. The club concentrated on modern or contemporary dance. Meeting once a week after school, the girls worked on technique, style, choreography, and their performance in front of an audience. Their sponsor, Ms. Newton, stressed body conditioning to make one’s body an instrument. The club had one performance in the spring in which the girls chose and choreographed their individual dances and presented their routines to their parents, teachers, and other spectators present. First Row: Brilane Bowman, Donna Berkley, Janet Stuntz, Karen Schubert. Sec¬ ond Row: Juli Harrison, Alison McGrady, Meg Miller, Kim Morrison. Debbi James. Back Row: Sharon Autrey, Brigetta Stevens, Julie Poreda, Lori Jackson, Karen Stuntz, Ann Newman, Kathleen Hock, Sharon Ingram, Melissa Briggs. Assisted by another member of the club, Debbie James prac¬ tices her individual dance titled, “Surprise.” Led by Ms. Newton, the girls warm up in front of the mirror before practicing their individual dances. 34 Clubs and Organizations

CLUBS ORGAN IZ hroughout the three years of Lake Braddock’s existence lew clubs have been formed creating a wide range of ctivity for the students. Each year more clubs are noted s being found and formed including such ones as the bike, afro-american, amateur radio, and High-Y, Those were just a few that had been accepted and added to the “75-76” list of clubs and organizations. With the constant addition of clubs it is hard for some to realize that many have declined. If the Lair’s yearbooks were compared, one would find that model railroad, military strategy, rifle, and chess club no longer exist in the “76” book. Some clubs and organizations like cheerleaders, drill teams, S.G.A., and class governments will always be around, but the smaller clubs just seem to come for one year and disap¬ pear the next. As long as the students of Lake Braddock come up with new clubs there are bound to be interests that involve everyone. So if any new clubs or organization are formed or any old one is of some interest, J-O-I-N and have a good time. r FEBRUARY ' MARC!-! APRIL Clubs and Organizations 3J

Wanted: Spirited freshmen to help our class. Such an ad might have appeared in an imaginary newspaper early this year. Shortly before school started, the class of ’79’s sponsor, Mrs. Farrell, was selected. This put the freshmen off to a late start, but, after winning the Spirit Bell on October 24, they caught up quickly. As the year progressed, their spirited position was fulfilled through bake sales, car washes, pep rallies, sock hops, and dances. Nancy Warren — Vice President, Paul Mollica — President; Natalie Craig — Secretary. Not Pictured: Kevin Moore — Treasurer. During a casual officers meeting, Natalie Craig and Nancy Warren dis¬ cuss the upcoming dance planned for late in January. Michele Musco — Vice President, Debbie Haubner — President, Carola Friedt — Secretary, Mrs. Yalen — Sponsor, John Stewart —Treasurer. Starting early was the idea for the Class of ’78, “Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today.” Before school began in August, the class brought in $100 with the mixed efforts of a garage sale and a car wash. The money was put in a class fund and, busy preparation went underway for the fall projects. September and October gave way to the organization of the float and the halloween Dance; while November held the “Great ’78” week, which lasted from the 10th to the 15th, and included the “Great ’78” dance. The class sold mistletoe at Christmas and assisted the S.G.A. with the magazine drive. A slide presentation was given February 20th, which showed class members in their natural habitats! The class finished the year with a class picnic held in the spring. Watch out seniors, “Great ’78” is coming! Clubs and Organizations 35
