Stormin’ in with new ideas is what your high school years are all about. This year has had plenty of them. INTRAMURALS Students and teachers have participated in a num- ber of events this year including intramurals. Sports like badminton, volleyball, and horse competition were played. There was lots of partici- pation and Miss Kroeze (director) was impressed with all of the talent. Most kids look for something to do at noon and intramurals is a good place to relieve stress, and to get some physical activity during the long school days. It also keeps kids busy during noon so that they stay out of trouble. HOBY (The Hugh O’Brien Youth Seminar) is a school sponsored seminar that gives one student each year the chance to project leadership qualities and voice opinions. It motivates young people to become tomor- row’s leaders, today. Last year’s rep. Lori Wagner feels that “HOBY has motivated me to be a better person. Setting goals and working to fulfill them the best I can. that’s what HOBY offers.” ARTS CLUB Many of the students involved in drama attended a workshop in Stevens Point this past fall. Students were able to get involved in activities such as dancing, singing, and fencing. The favorite for most was stage combat in which they would learn to fall, punch, kick and slap. These students learned the importance of many other aspects to drama other than just acting. Stage-craft, make-up. costumes and spe- cial effects are some. BADGER REPRESENTATIVES are picked each year to expand on their leadership, loyalty, citizenship, health, school activities and schol- arship. They are voted on by the teachers and take part in a summer seminar. It promotes leadership and helps them to form opinions about our government Representatives included: Lynn Christiansen, Becky Polk, Diane Briski. Carlccn Meyer, Jim Ruf. Ray Rickert, Brian Lub- bert, and Corey Schram. DRUG AND ALCOHOL AWARENESS This year’s students had the chance to be part of a new system called the drug and alcohol awareness. The staff was trained to meet the needs of students who think they might have a problem or are concerned about friends or students who are dependent. Membership was anonymous and the groups do not preach. The facts are laid down and the groups form their own opinions. It’s a chance for students and teachers to work together to help and understand students. The past year has been hustling and bustling with new and interesting people who little by little have made differences and put fun back into the school.

All of us have gone through changes, some more than others But. nevertheless, changes, whether it be in looks, attitudes, styles, or abilities, have hap- pened. These two pages arc showing just a few changes “AFTER THE STORM”! Looks to some of us are very important, and when they change, it makes others take a double look at these people, especially in the first couple of days of school. One person that shocked her sopho- more class is Jeanne Andersen. Within a seven month period, she had lost 42 pounds. “How?“, you may be asking yourself. Well, with a strong will power she stuck with her diet of regulated amounts of food and a lot of exercise. With the loss of weight, contacts, perm, and new wardrobe, no- body recognized her. She says. “I think that it’s made a major difference in my life. And I like the way that people treat me now.” But she’s still not done. She says that her goal is another 1$ to 20 pounds. Another person that has gone through a major change is Claudine Briski. Literally overnight, her appearances changed. She had top and bottom jaws operated on. She says. “It was fun to come to school, say “HI” to people, and get a reaction like “I know you. but I can’t recognize you.” Then they'd realize it was me. I got so many compli- ments. and such a new life!” One of the teenager’s greatest changes is in their attitude on life. Brian Fcrron has shown everybody how great of a change that is. When he first came to high school, he fooled around, and didn’t do much of anything. At 16 he dropped out. Not long after that, people were encouraging him to come back saying things like they missed him and things weren’t the same without him. The two things that encouraged him were Tanya Rogers, his girlfriend, and him. He decided that he did need a diploma after all, since the only way to become an airborne ranger and to do something with computers in the army was to graduate. He says. “Before I HAD to come and now I WANT to. I wish I had stayed in.” Our all new Clay Lambcrton press box. Jeanne looks a lot happier now with her new look. 6 Student Life
