c lubs and organizations hold special meaning for students Q kjtudents may chose to be involved in and committed to a large variety of intellectual and extra-curricular clubs and organizations. There are many club to join and the list continues to grow. Ten years ago there we ' re only a few clubs to join. One had little choice of what one wanted to do. I joined Speech and Debate for extra-curricular activities for college. It helps me speak in front of large groups of people, but most of all I thought it would be fun, said Valeska DeFrieri a tenth grader. The type of students that join the clubs are varied by race, age and size. Clubs are important to the younger students because it lets them be with older students. ' T am participating in chorus, because it ' s fun and I like performing, said Jon Emaus, seventh grader. Many students join clubs to help get them into college. I think it will help to find out about different cultures and sharing ideas with each other, and having activities with each other. The organizations will help the students have extra-curricular activities written on the cum cards for col- lege, said Tricia Estares, eleventh grader and President of the French club. There are also students that don ' t even think about college, and they just want to have fun while they are going through high school. I am a cheerleader because Fm spirited and I wanted to do something for the school, and have fun, Sheri Kadon a tenth grader. These students are enthusiastic and like to show their school spirit while having a great time. Jjlj Go, Knights, go, you ' ve almost won! — Jodie Seltzer and Reese Henderson are showing lots of school spirit at the P E field during a girl ' s volleyball game at lunch, trying to cheer our team on to victory.

iS ' S You ' re walking back from a leadership sponsored event at the center circle during lunch. Lunch is by the 100 ' s so you start heading in that direction. Suddenly, a shout: Hey you! Behind the yellow line! You ' ve just been stopped . . . by a knight. Lead the way Without the watchful eyes of the knights and the planning minds of leadership, our school would be a much more chaotic campus. Don ' t get the wrong idea, however, because these two organizations don ' t control us. they help us! Leadership members were elected last year and serve as the creative team for our school ' s spirit point ac- tivities, special sales, and most importantly, our dances! In ad- dition to planning these events, your chosen representatives worked hard to make each grade level receive equal treat- ment. The different grades all h ave different needs and prob- lems. We have to work hard to make everything fair, said Sherry Batalla. The knights have more to do than many of us think. It ' s more than just lunch-time traffic control that busies the knights, but many other actions as well. All knights had their favorite jobs, but many tasks proved dif- ficult. Traffic control during nutri- tion and lunch is horrible. No one listens to a knight. It ' s worth it though, even if it ' s hard, said Cindy Lee. Many knights were required to patrol each assembly, with several watching the crowd and even more monitoring the doors. With many assemblies a month, this took careful plan- ning a great deal of dedication. Knights also were required to sell tickets and help during emergency drills. Our student body should re- spect its leadership and its many members, because the job they did this year was spectacu- lar. By Dan Mayer. Behind the yellow line!!! — Leslie Mescamp struggles to hold back a wave of oncoming students. Traffic duty proved to be extremely hectic during lunch. Leadership Knights Organizations 65
