I want muscles Many students, boys and girls had a desire to develop their bodies. There were many different kinds of exercises for the different parts of the body. If one was underweight, he or she needed to do the basic squats, bench presses, etc. He may have needed to eat as much as possible. Drinking a powdered protein mix would help also. It one was overweight, he reversed the process by not eating so much and jogging or doing leg lifts, and sit ups. Some of the exercises were squats. The process was to put a bar with weights on the shoulders, then squat down and back up. This was good for the thighs. Bench- pressing was good to build up the chest. Sit ups were good for breath control before the lift. Junior, John Lucas benched 305 pounds and planned on entering the Iron Man contest. Coach Duncanson was in charge of the contest. Another serious lifter was sophomore, Idrisa Sammah; he could bench 250 pounds. He lifted for football and planned on lifting for a long time. Before one began lifting he had to warm up and stretch out. Weightlifting was to be taken seriously. Ron Glover, class of ' 84 Danny Quiggle, class of ' 86

Swim teams raise money to heat pools Had it not been for the efforts of the Aqua Athletics booster club, the boys ' swimming and diving teams may not have been possi- ble. With the combined efforts of the girls ' and boys ' teams, they raised enough in funds to heat the swimming pools for the en- tire spring. By selling Easter grams, working on weed abatement and sponsoring a very successful car washa-thon, they raised the money necessary to pay the bills given to them by the school district. With the combined efforts of co-coaches Mike Sisk and Mike Little, the team was able to complete a remarkably successful season. Practice was held from 6:30 am to the end of first period with Mike Sisk giving directions poolside. While Mike instructed diving after school from 3:30 until 5:30, Mike Little took charge of the swim prac- tice. The team averaged six thousand yards per day, and between laps the swimmers practiced starts and flip turns. Most were given the choice of strokes, but occasional- ly, the coach assigned a specific stroke for improvement of different muscles. Many of the athletes worked out at the local Nautilus in their spare time to keep in top shape. 1 ¥ tpi to.
