Several goals the club set up included a county Science Fair and trips to Virginia Tech. What makes us smile? It could have been looking at some of the paintings and draw- ings by the elementary kids. These kids contributed their masterpieces to the Art Club’s contest entitled, “What Makes Me Smile.” Students were asked to enter their opinion of what causes smiles. Mrs. Chris- tine Bird, sponsor, along with the artists of the school, used the contest as their main project of the year.

Entertainment Boosted Spirit One act plays, forensics, contests, commercial take offs, and a lot of hard work kept Drama students busy. The Dramatics club entertained the student body at Echo Day with their versions of well known TV advertisements. Again at the SCA Christmas program the members were to take the spotlight as they were transformed into princesses, kings, goats, and even frogs in “The Gala New Musical Frog Review.” A highlight of the year was the nomination of 10 students for the National Speech and Drama Award. A large number of the enthusiastic Rockets filled the gym on Nov. 18, 1981 to elect officers and start a full year of activities for the Rowdies Pep Club. The pep club assisted the Cheerleaders and boosted a lively spirit among students both at home and at away games. With the use of Pep buses the Rowdies invaded the opponent’s territory to shake enemy confidence and encourage the Rockets.

Here is a rose of friendship I give, dear friend, to you, For your inspiring comfort And the kindly things you do. This rose of red petals, Like the sun’s bright flare, Sends the fragrance of the Heavens That we can always share. I adore this rose so dearly With its buds of red and gold; It is the greatest of all treasures That man can ever hold. Why, if ever I feel lonely, And many times I do, I seek the rose of friendship Then I never more feel blue. So let’s strive to give to others The sweetness of this rose; And life will be so peaceful And man will have no foes. Jack Virnstein ATHLETICS
