“ (2 iccfrue Scop’ ? iu4ute S' Sf If a visitor were to come to EHS for a couple of days, it wouldn't take him long to distinguish between the different sets of groups around the halls. Take the lunchroom for instance. A map could easily be drawn from one table to the next. Naturally the teachers sit together. There's also the freshman girl's table, the freshman boy's, the junior boy’s, the senior boy's and a conglomeration of junior senior boys headed by Tom Petersen and Mike Hennick near the exit doors — perhaps for a quick getaway! Well, what does all this have to do with this page? What we're looking at here is at cliques ... What?! A clique (pronounced “click ) is a French word meaning a small, exclusive group. Usually when a person talks about a clique, they’re referring to a certain group of people who may be called snobby.” Here at school, though, a clique can be a great thing. A clique at EHS may be a group of students forming permanent friendships that may last for years after school. A clique can provide you with protection when a mean upperclassman starts to push you around. Members of cliques may listen to problems, encourage new adventures or provide you with a few laughs to get through the day. What are some Exira cliques? There are many. One of the most obvious could be Jane, Gina and Dawn. (Do these girls ever do anything without the other two?) Actually they probably need each other for protection. Those locker wars with the senior boys got pretty vicious! Another clique could be called the Hooleyhopper gang. A group of senior girls worked up there most of the year. Camille, Cathy, Sherri, Shelly, Marsha and others could be counted on for late Friday and Saturday nights and those fun” clean-ups in the mornings. We also can't forget the Crawley Black gang. Ken, Allen and Scott had to be the only guys in Exira out- lawed from three different towns! What do we call a clique at EHS? Buddies, pals — what- ever. we need 'em! 2
