VOLUNTEERS PRACTICE SKILLS: Computer Club and Candy Stripers Many thought that the only thing that the computer club ever did was play games, but this was not entirely true. The members did play games, but many times they were played only after they had been pro- grammed in by the students themselves. The projects that they did do were sometimes simple, some- times very complieated. Some joined to learn a limited work- ing knowledge of computers in general. Others stayed after school as long as possible to learn different, complicated computer languages such as Pascal and Graforth. In this computer age, it was great to have students involved in computers not only for fun but also to learn without the pressure of a classroom situa- tion. Candystripers also leave the classroom to wear the pink and white uniforms seen running around the hospitals of Deca- tur. Some joined to be candy- stripers because they planned a career in medicine when they were older, others joined to learn how to deal with people on a one-on-one basis. The candy-stripers had no easy jobs. They were the gofers of the hospital. Many times they knew more about the winding corridors than some of the doctors and nurses. The Junior Auxilary was a great help to all the staff at the hospital. They not only helped with making beds, passing ice, and delivering meal trays, but they did a great deal of fund- raising to to buy units for the hospital. Candy-stripers always ended their days of cheering up pa- tients by feeling satisfied they helped fulfill a vital need.

Cheerleading, Pom Pon, and School spirit, lt was talked about at every assembly, foot- ball and basketball game. Who worked hard at promoting all of this school spirit? At football games, the flag corps performed in front of the band when they marched into a game and also when the band played at half-time. Their flu- ency in handling flags was ex- traordinary. They always re- ceived great cheers, and they kept in time with the music very well. Pom-pon girls usually per- formed at the half-times of both football and basketball games. They made up their own rou- tines from the popular songs that everyone heard on the ra- lag Corp dio. Their performances brought about big yells from not only the home crowd but also from visitors. They kept in perfect step with their own mu- sic, and they also marched in with the band at the beginning of the football games. The squad was rather large, and the only problem that was present- ed was the fact that there were so many talented girls to watch. The cheerleaders were the big boosters in school spirit. They cheered at the sidelinesg they cheered during time-outs and they had students scream- ing their lungs out to push the teams to victory.

THE POM-PON GIRLS and all cheer- leaders are waiting for their music to begin at the Homecoming Assembly. junior varsity, performed excel- lently throughout all the sports seasons. Sometimes it was hard to yell for teams when they were down, but maybe with all the yelling and the cheering they pushed the teams to victory. School spirit was raised with ev- ery cheer, yell, scream, twirl of the flag, and dance. Everyone was grateful that the school had such willing girls to cheer for the teams.
