Students Explore The Arts This group of students is the art club, sponsored by Mrs. Dixon. They illustrate a variety of interests in a few of the many fields of art. This activity not only provides a chance for enjoy- ment; it is an outlet for creative ability and gives students an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of the arts. Pupils Learn — Serve School These students are mem- bers of the Library Club. Under Mrs. Simpson ' s super- vision they return books to the stacks, help check out books, and perform miscellan- eous tasks. This activity has a double purpose. It is an enjoyable experience for those participating in it and it renders an invaluable service to the school. 46

Yearbook r The combined efforts of parents, students, and faculty paste, write, edit and revise.

Those students working in close conjunction with her were Barb Blackie, Jami Burgoon, Jean DeHabey, Mike Junk, Ron Kizer, Barb Neuhauser, Kathy Nickell, and Jim Tegtmeyer. Nancy Chard did the art work on the inside cover and the cardinals ap- pearing throughout. Richard Stamats des- signed the cover. A debt of gratitude is owed to these people. We have had a wonderful staff with 9th graders as acting supervisors and 8th and 7th graders training for the responsibilities of future publications. 45
