Ben Franklin Produces s advisor for the Ben Franklin Printing Club, john Baab's goals for the members were to learn to use the computer typesetter and to develop an efficient system for getting the job done, he explained. Baab had been the ad- visor for the printing club for two years after Santa Rita opened. Last year was his third year. I thought that since I was the only printing teacher at this school that I should do it. The students came to me to form the club and I said, 'Of course ', remarked Baab about being the club's advisor. The Ben Franklin Club met on Tuesday afternoons and had about five active members. Ben Franklin Club activities in- cluded the printing of all types of school forms, and trips to places such as Tucson Newspapers Incorporated, where members could see printing on a larger, more complex scale. Ben Franklin Club President Ralph Billyard enjoyed seeing his finished printed product after all of the work was done, Ralph was chosen to be president in Mafw, wwhvnwld w A Ben Franklin President Ralph Billyard eyes the rolling presses because of his experience in printing the graduation programs for the year before He looked forward to continuing his in volvement in printing through his high school years and possibly after graduating Ralph said of Baab, He can be picky, but he's pretty cool PHOTO 8t PRINTING 195

Effort to Promote Spirit o promote school spirit. That was the Poms main duty. A lot of work and time was devoted for the production and performing of the many routines the girls had to learn. Being a Pom was something Captain Debbie Hayes enjoyed because she felt all the work she put in paid off. Hayes also liked being a Pom because of the friends she met and because she liked to dance. Working with people was what Co- captain Linda Laws enjoyed about being a Pom. Laws felt that all of her work was worthwhile because it gave her a sense of accomplishment. When she was on the field performing for the school, Laws felt nervous, so she worked harder at doing her routines as perfectly as possible. Alice Drudge, Pom advisor, felt the girls were an important group for what they gave the school. Drudge liked working with the Poms because they care about what they are doing. I feel the girls work very hard trying to pro- mote school spirit, stated Drudge. Most people didn't see all the hard work the girls did. Not only did the Poms perform for the school with the band at football games and Band Day, but they also supported some of the other S.R. teams by putting stickers on lockers. The Poms practiced everyday during first hour to perfect the routines they worked so hard on. Working with the Poms is a very time consuming job, but it was worth all the time and effort that was put into teaching the girls all that they know, and knowing that they are trying their best, stated Drudge.
