“Being a member of VIC A has taught me to respect the largely increasing field of vo- cational occupations and has given me the training to work competently in the auto indus- try.” Wade Baskin “The nice thing about debate is that you have a chance to meet people from all over the state — like the guy we met from Cedar City. We found some tape that acti- vates the book detector in the library and put it inside his coat and backpack. While he was making the machine beep on his way out, we said 'hi'.” Freddi Jo Eisenberg ”Because of competition and fun activities, projects, etc., I meet a lot of people by being involved with FBLA. ” Lia Bauleth roups — ganging together for some important purpose and multiplying the amount of fun that could possibly occur by being in- volved. From strenuous bike tours to intense computer sessions and even lighthearted club get to- gether, interaction in all events created satisfaction from belong- ing, contributing, and learning by just being a member. The intricate games of Dungeons and Dragons, achieved status of being in the Honor Society, satisfaction from being a Key Club philanthropist, and learning valuable business and technical skills in FBLA and VICA — such were the attractions that held club members in their own special organizations. 56 ■ Groups

Step With Pep Standing in formation the pep- pers go! caught up in all the excite- ment of the football games 27 hopeful peppers tried out late last year; they were required to perform a dance, do a cheer that was taught to them, and then wait for the results. Two weeks later the new members were kidnapped by the former peppers and taken to the initi- ation party. They were dressed in bizarre clothing and forced to sing the school song while walk- ing through the aisles at Albert- sons. They met several times be- fore school was out to elect offi- cers and get acquainted. Then the hard work started. Their first practices were held early in the mornings during the summer. They had to learn all the cheers the cheerleaders used and some they created themselves. They also learned marches which they performed at football games, and for the second year they stunned the student body with the annual flashlight dance at the night pep rally. “I liked everything about the pep club except the practices at 6:00a.m. and the freezing weather at football games.” said Mischell Mattinson The pep club, like almost every other club or organization at Alta, participated in many fund raisers. They plagued the school with candy bars and Fernwoods can- dy. They cheered and yelled at most football and basketball games, sponsered a stomp, ushered at the school play, and baked treats for football and baksetball players before big games. The long hours that the girls were together created new friendships. They held many par- ties. trying to get everyone in- volved. and each girl had a secret sister that was to receive a little treat or gift each week. 58 ■ Pep Club
