January Scene After weighing in, sophomore Keith Early in- dulges in a piece of pizza. No Chow For Grapplers During the course of their sea- son, the wrestlers were re- quired to put themselves through many tiring practices and conditioning sessions. Since wrestling is based on a weight class system, weight control was one of the wrestler ' s most important responsi- bilities. There were many theories as to the best way to lose weight, and some wrestlers became experts at this. Junior John Klopsch found himself eight pounds overweight, but by skip- ping lunch and eating under 700 calo- ries daily, he lost that weight in only two weeks. By adhering to a weight watchers ' diet, which consisted mainly of diet foods and jello, senior J. P. Gen- tile was able to lose 1 8 pounds in a few weeks. After losing this weight, most wrestlers found it easier to keep their weight down, but there was still a large amount of willpower required. J.P. commented, Most people don ' t realize how much we have to go through to keep in a weight class; it can be the most demanding part of the sea- son. Trying to be exact, seniors Dave Doyle and J.P. Gentile weigh Kevin Selking before a wrestling match. January scene 21

Cadet Digest ISSMA Gives Experience Many students gave up hours of their spare time to pre- pare themselves for the In- diana Secondary Schools Music Association Contest in January. This contest was open to all music stu- dents. Choir members as well as band members wishing to compete and dem- onstrate their musical talents entered the contest. The truly brave individuals dared to challenge themselves by playing a solo or ensemble at Level I, a State level. For this, the participants had to per- form their piece by memory at competi- tion. Those participants at this level re- ceiving a superior rating went on to per- form in State competition in Indianapo- lis. I used ISSMA to reinforce the goals that I set at the beginning of the year for the band, commented director Paul Wills. One contestant said, I think that go- ing to competition was a good exper- ience. It helps you grow musically. Once the contest was over, you knew that all the hours you spent preparing were worth it. After practicing intensely for her solo perfor- mance at ISSMA, freshman Amy Stiebeling spends a final few minutes warming up for her presentation. Eleven band people and 28 choir members competed in the contest. After much discussion with the administration concerning safety in mounts, the cheerleaders look extra measures to insure safety. Preparing for the ISSMA contest, sophomore Bubba Sattcrficld practices the piece he will per- form. 20 january scene
