Pep Club comes alive According to moderator, Mr. Chris Schulte, the Pep Club had its problems with organization dur- ing the early part of the year, but the potential was there. Eventually the rowdy rooters emerged and spirit was generated with all stops out during the basketball season. Even Joe Mari- ner appeared on the scene. Who can forget the larger than life signs reminding potential rooters and foes alike about coming games? By second semester the pep club was in full swing supporting all athletic teams with spirit and energy. It generated enthusiasm for each sport- ing event from basketball games to swim meets thus accomplishing the purpose of the club which is to help the pep squad in rousing green and gold spirit and support for all school athletic events. 4 3 (1) The rowdy rooting pep club members present a united front (2) Club officers Eva Marquez and Valerie DeLuca turn the world upside down (3) The pep squad waits to lend support and cheers where some cheer is needed (4) Supporting the swim team are pep clubbers Michelle Corrigan and Betsy Gibbons ppwiy «« ftOOTEft Pep club 29

Hollywood, here we come! Although small, Theatrical Workshop made itself famous through its winter production of YOU CAN T TAKE IT WITH YOU. It was generally agreed that the play was entertaining as well as profes- sionally performed and staged It took a great deal of dedication and long hours of free-time practice to bring off such a quality production. Mr. Chris Schulte, moderator of the club as well as director of YCTIWY, commented that the growth in the people involved was remarkable. The theatrical workshop is an adjunct of the drama department, allowing stu- dents who are interested in theater but are not enrolled in drama classes to take part in play production from acting, sets, costumes and makeup, to stage manag- ing. Club members looked back over a year filled with hard work and the satisfaction of a job well-done. Ellie Roten remarked, It was a good year filled with happy memories, stings from the show-biz-bug, and special friends.
