BUILDING PRIDE The swing choir, a unique activity in the music department, received its fame for being 100% student organized. Not having an adult supervisor is our greatest strength and our grea- test weakness, Paul Frederiksen conceded. | have a lot more pride in swing choir than the regular choir since we do everything ourselves — choosing our own music and choreographing our movements, Tim Hickman said. d We have to learn to take care of d ourselves and solve our own 2 problems. “We do make alittle money, $25 here and there, which we put in the choir fund. We give a lot of concerts for churches and private organizations, but our favorite was performing on campus at VEISHEA, Jeanne Hea- ley explained. “With all our problems, Im sure swing choir will continue in the future, added Pam Carlsborg, The good points far outweigh the bad.

LAISING CONCERN A new wave of awareness swept through the community during the year involving substance abuse among youth. There was concern that drugs such as alcohol and mari- juana were being used more frequently and by younger age groups. A four-part series in the Ames Daily Tribune gave the public a more informed view of the effects of most types of drugs. The series also covered the account of a student who underwent treatment for chem- ical dependency and the effects on the family of a similar youth. Added efforts by the Ames Police to discourage alcohol and drug users resulted in a larger number of arrests for these offenses. The number of arrests for possession of beer by a minor rose from 57 cases in 1978 to 128 cases in 1979. A law was proposed to the Ames City Council “prohibiting the sale or display of drug paraphernalia inthe city except for purely decorative purposes’ and was highly controversial within the community. The Ames High faculty attended a workshop to discuss problems and uses of drugs and signals to recog- nize a user. Above Right: DECEPTION. Since most par- ents didn't condone the use of alcoholic bev- erages by their children, students who chose to participate in this activity often hid their actions and hoped not to be caught. Right: CONCERN. During a faculty meeting, members of the Ames High faculty discuss signs to recognize drug abusers and what to do to help them. 30 Drug Awareness f | ii 1 Wl Aua 222 23 5. ul | Il | | il | ا!‎ ۷ SETTLE m l !
