Pep Club FANS en o'clock. A math final has passed. A biology final awaits. Sugartime! At times like these, when one's spirit has sunk to new lows, the MIHS Pep Club comes to the rescue. Whether by selling delicious donuts during finals or sending out pep baskets to various groups, these enthusiastic girls maintain a supportive feeling throughout the school. They play their games by cheering other players in other games. They play their games for us. Each member of the club is assigned to keep up the spirit of a particular sport or band. This important activity, however, rarely receives the thanks it deserves. The false image of bubbly and bubble- headed girls striving for popularity unfortunately plagues these quite hard-working Islanders. They are a congenial group of girls, praises advisor Jody Curran. When they are assigned a job, they do it welI. So, let us not forget those who make us feel good. What would a game be without fans? l 88 PEP CLUB iABOVEl Jackie Angvall, Pep Club shows her pep.

Peg, Pegasus LINCOLN LCGS adies and gentlemen! During today's meeting, we shall review three pieces of work-a drawing, a poem, and a short story, Remember, each entry must be of quality. Let us begin. Ah yes, Pegasus. The winged horse of the Greeks. The perennial student compilation of the Islanders. The game of building. Every year, members of the student body submit their own written and artistic expressions to this club of gatherers and sorters. Every week, the Pegasus staff reviews seemingly endless amounts of student-produced poems, sketches, paintings, and essays, always adding to the mountain that appears as a book in the spring. Says staff member Hart Gilchrist, There is no limit to how much we put in. We take all good ones. This lack of limits makes the difficult task of building a quality product only slightly easier, however. Still, the sorting of the logs seems much less hard after one sees the cabin. The best thing about being on the Pegasus staff is seeing every creative talent, admits Gilchrist. Mercer Island may be a forest of skill, but the Pegasus staff brings all the logs together! nl PEGASUS I87 Karen Moller. KNOT PICTUREDl

R8iR PIT S echnically, the tiny room nestled in the corner of the locker bay serves as a division of Eastside Youth Services, locally run by counselor High Heermans. However, one look into the tiny room filled with overstuffed furniture and controversial discussions ably demonstrates its more wide-ranging value. For the players in the game of high school, it's a place to slow down and smell the roses. To take a load off. To straighten out one's thoughts. A pit stop in the race of - l xt -.sw il. li.
