Pep Club, The Supporters of ALL Sports Waterloo's pep dub this year consists of forty-five girls from high school. Mrs. Kratina, pep dub sponsor, said that this has been about the average amount of girls each year. Pep dub officers were Andrea Kirk, President; Aimee Walvoord, Vice President; Holly Gates, Secretary-Treasurer; Debbie Buchannan and Becky Buchanan, Sergeant of Arms. These officers were elected in September by the pep club and cheerleaders. Pep club's main objective is to cheer at football, basketball, and wrestling events. They also do other activities. This year's activity was buying pep dub T-shirts. T-shirts were purchased instead of sweaters because they were more economical for the members and they were cooler to wear for indoor The only requirements for joining pep club are being in high school and paying two dollars in dues. The pep club dues go toward buying pep club pins at the end of the year for people who have earned over a hundred points during the school year. Points could be earned by any of these methods: attending a home game (3 points), attending an away game (4 points), making a poster (1 point), wearing pep club shirt (1 point), and participating in the pep club skit in the beginning of the year (3 points). Mrs. Kratina has been pep club sponsor for six years. When asked if she liked sponsoring pep club she said, Yes. dealing with students in extracurricular activities gives me an opportunity to see their non-school personalities. - by Carol Swirczek Row 1: Jeri Swanson, Taml Pederson.

 Working for the Weekend Weekend in Avalon , by Edward Finnegan, was the One-Act Play for 1983-84. The play is about Pop Lorimer who uses his powerful gift of confidence to show his friends that they need not search afar for Avalon, the Isle of the Blessed'', because they find it only when they find themselves. Tryouts for the play took place on November 11. 1983. Those people who tried out were required to read excerpts of a character's lines from the play. To determine who the actors would be. Mrs. Ivers and Miss Cohrs chose the people who would best portray a character. Early morning practices took place almost every day. The actors put in many long hours learning lines and practicing, practicing, practicing. stated Mrs. Ivers, play sponsor. The crew as well as the cast bad many hours of practicing. These included setting up different stage scenes and helping the cast apply makeup. We had a fantastic crew. They really earned their keep. added Mrs. Ivers. The long practices finally paid off when at the ECNC Contest and the District Contest the play received two 'Excellent' ratings. — By Natalie Osborne Connie Grimm applies make-up to John.
