Jane Knust pauses briefly from her quest for a clean envi- ronment. She is just one of many concerned students. Mr. Borden leads a group of interested students in the search for trash and litter. It is a worthwhile challenge. Students Rally to Save Environment An enthusiastic Forest Park effort was put forth on Earth Day. Students and teachers spent almost an entire day picking up, cleaning up, and haul- ing away litter from the campus and surrounding community. Working for a better environment in which to live motivated everyone. Pride, a sense of accomplishment, and an obviously cleaner world were the rewards for the hard working team. In order to insure the work had not been in vain, the Student Council pro- vided trash barrels that were placed at strategic locations around the school. The participants of Earth Day carried their enthusiasm over the remainder of the year in tremendous Ranger style. LEFT: Tired but satisfied students look over the results of a hard day’s work. 24

Volleyball provides a quick release for tensions built up during a school day. Clubs; Find Them Exhilarating9 Enjoyable No one could ever say there was not anything to do during ECA periods because, with about thirty clubs, there was no excuse for idleness. Name the club and it was probably listed on one of the two busy sched- ules. Drama, crocheting, weightlifting, golf, languages—to list only a few of the various clubs. There was something for everyone, and many times there was too much. It was often quite diffi- cult to fit in all of the things a person was interested in doing. The faculty of Forest Park were all involved in the ECA schedule. Each teacher sponsored at least one club, and many had two or three clube to take care of. But it was enjoyable for all. Stu- dents and faculty got together in an atmosphere other than that of the classroom and learned from each other.
