MOTION aVNID EMOTION Activity is a specified form of action, especially in the area of recreation. To the interested members, activities mean a sense of involvement and to- getherness. Although most organi- zations consume a considerable amount of time, a sense of ac- complishment, new friends, and some great fun often result. There are a few very popular clubs that mean pure, totally non-school related fun. One of the largest groups is ski club, meeting every Thursday night at Brandywine. Other clubs mean responsibility; the responsibility of organizing projects for others. Tlie Christmas party for ele- mentary children and visits to Jennings Nursing Home are done purely for others by the Friendship Club. Athletics demand a considerable amount of time, but the feed-back stretches to the entire student body. In fact, sports are the only thing other than academics that involve practically all the students in one way or another. People in the arts enjoy a closeness unlike that felt in any other group. Whether it be the Band or Thearts, everyone works together to achieve a much strived for goal: a perfect show. Class spirit was shown by all at the float sessions, although they some- times consist of too much socializing, smoking and drinking, and too little flower making. In spite of the problems, occasional long hours and the conflict with school work, the fun and intricate social life associated with activities is what most students remember. Students in printing assist school activities by running off programs, posters, and tickets. Tim Recko helps Janet Vogini meet her Theart’s initiation requirements. Activities 13

ACTIVITIES ANO Not as popular as they once were, dances are still a part of the traditional special events as- sociated with the school. Band Camp, like the other summer camps, is not all hard work, as Nancy Krause proves with a can of shaving cream. Activities 12 The place where all the activity begins, Bedford High School occupies a great deal more time in students lives than the regular school day. [ . A

WEEKEND After thoughtful consideration, John Wiese decided to make a big investment and go to the prom. Cathy Rutherford accepted his invitation. Two and one half weeks before prom, John went to get fitted, finally deciding on a white tux with a pink shirt. The total cost: S30.00. On Friday, John went to Bedford Floral and picked up Cathy’s nosegay for twenty- five dollars. Twenty dollars bought prom tickets for dinner at the Holiday Inn. Total cost for prom: $75.00. John went and picked up Cathy at 7:15. By the time parents finished taking pic- tures, it was 7:30, and they went to pick up Kevin Glasko and Lori Canzoni. Arriv- ing at the Randall Holiday Inn, the couple danced to the music of the Sabers, and ate a dinner of roast beef, baked potatoes, and green beans. At midnight, post-prom started in the cafeteria. Jasper provided the music until 4:30, when John and Cathy went home for a few hours rest be- fore Cedar Point. After accepting John Wiese’s invitation, Cathy Rutherford launched the lengthy preparations for the prom by buying a dress at the Limited. It’s price, fifty dol- lars, was steep, but the pink color was just what Cathy had in mind. With the major expense out of the way, shoes, a long slip, earrings, and a hat re- mained. The “trifles” totaled twenty- eight dollars, and a few extra dollars bought the boutineer. The total cost for prom night: $90.00. Dead tired, Cathy finally arrived home from Post Prom at 4:40. It was 9:30 when they were picked up by Kevin and Lori for Cedar Point. Between food, tick- ets, and tolls John managed to spend an- other thirty-six dollars. Exhausted, the group left Cedar Point early, arriving home at 7:30. Starting Sunday on wheels, John and Cathy went roller skating at Roller Palace. Finding a Kenny Kings, they picnicked on the Mayfield baseball field. Totaling the Post Prom weekend (with extra beverages included) it came to sixty dollars. Although Prom heads the year in major expenses, its excitement compen- sates for the time and money involved.
