Four out of five members were tops in their weight classes. Rebuilding the wrestling team was one of the major tasks set for head coach Craig Wicke. There were only five returning members and hopes to recruit more participants were high. Four out of five former wrestlers were tops in their weight classes: Scott Williams, Byron Cutler, Shane Wood, and Tommy Fason. Although last year's team only managed a 0-10 record, this season's team members hoped to bring better results. Coach Wicke stated, Last year we had our first two state wrestlers, Mike Dixon and Dezell Bessett. I expect at least two members to go this year. Although wrestling is one of the tough- est, most grueling sport, each of the participants feel it's well worth their effort. 3 EHS EHS EHS EHS EHS EHS EHS EHS EHS EHS Wrestling Santa Fe Suwanee Bradford Palatka Gainesville Vanguard Santa Fe Buchholz Gainesville Forest 1981-82 15-57 21-47 23-42 12-42 19-45 16-52 17-50 27-48 19-51 0-0 R, 1.

CLUBS Textbooks, tests, and quizzes are only a few of the elements comprising our side'-'. Clubs and other extra-curricular organi- zations offer us a chance to perform non-curricular activities and be recognized for them. Members learn and practice leader- ship, responsibility, organization, and, in the process, attain a great deal of maturity. Our honorary organizations honor academically outstanding students, who must maintain a certain grade point average to be members. These organizations are Mu Alpha Theta, the Junior Engineering Technical Society CJETSJ, the National Honor Society, and Quill and Scroll. Complementing academic life, other clubs give each of us a chance to exercise our talents and skills. Service organizations such as Key Club and Keywanettes often deal with the adult community, while Ram Country and Ram Page staffs interact with the business world. Responsible for meeting students' needs is the Student Government. Combining academia with work during a normal routine school day are Diversified Cooperative Training QDCTJ, Coop- erative Business Education QCBEJ, and Future Business Lead- ers of America CFBLAJ. Special talent is needed for those who wish to become a part of the band, majorettes, flag corps, or chorus. New additions are the Pep Club, Latin Club, and the Foren- sics Club. Being members of one of those organizations gives us a sense of identity while developing our individuality, and in the process creates a book-full of happy, cherishable memories. ClubsfI39
