Often at times though, The Ram Page found that deadlines and such became very frustrating and hectic. When asked how the staff survived during these difficulties, Editorial Editor. April Lidinsky commented that, Somehow we always manage. A lot of pride and commitment goes into our work, and I believe that that is what got us through the rough spots. We all care about the paper, not only for ourselves. but for the school. Indeed, The Ram Page staff members worked a team, and com- pleted every issue on time. The Ram Page came out every three weeks and was distributed to students by mail at home. The paper was always filled with features, editorials, news, sports. and such, The staff this year, also incorporated colored ink into the paper. so as to give it more color and life. The Student of the Month, News Briefs, To Turn a Stone, juxtaposition. Letters to the Editor, and other such sections were also included. For one to become a member of the The Ram Page Staff. he must have completed a full semester of Journalism, and have maintained at least a C average. ln this way, a new member of The Ram Page staff would be better prepared for real work on a real paper.

The Creative Writing Club's main purpose is to put together a book or magazine by the end of the year , stated three-year sponsor Mrs. Starkey. Each year we collect submissions from classes and develop a book. The title for this year's book was Kipple: The First Law. All ofthe brown paper bags hanging in the halls gave us a pretty good idea that Mrs. Starkey wanted people to submit to it. Each one had a cute little saying like: Kipple: The First Law is paying big bucks for your poetry. Ah-but true artists do it for free. Creative people can't follow a pattern is the reply l got from Mrs. Starkey when I asked how many people were in the club. We've had as many as forty-two and as little as ten people show up for our non' regular meetings , she said. Even though the Creative Writing Club was not always a regular committment for its members, they still succeeded in getting alot done in one measly year. During the Christmas Season Mrs. Starkey and the club members did choral readings. What in the world is choral reading you ask? Well after practicing on and off for three weeks, they picked a certain day right around Christmastime and went room-to-room chanting together the pages ofa Dr. Suess book, The club also prepared original poems on computer cards and sold them for twenty- live cents each at certain times during the year, Finally, after the submissions deadline on Valentines Day, they created, edited and printed the Kipple: books and sold them at the Cultural Arts Day which took place in May. lt just goes to show you that creative, unorthodox people like the Creative Writing Club's members, editor-, CPeter Rolla, April Lidinsky Whitney Seymore, Roger Spendlovej, and especially Mrs, Starkey can get a lot done when they set their zaney minds to it!

With over seven major service projects, and many fund raisers throughout the year, Key Club was one of the most active and productive clubs at Green Mountain High School. Some of these major projects were helping with the Special Olympics, and the adopt-a-grandparent program. Also, they participated in, and helped with the Bonfils blood drive. In addition, they collected toys from teens, which were given to needy children. Although it is primarily a service organization, Key Club strives to produce well-rounded students. Their main objectives were service to the community, and the enrichment of personal ideas. Athletics, social functions, banquets, conventions and rallies were also a part of the program. The sponsor for Key Club this past year was Colleen Utter. The president was Guy Gunther, and Maureen Hallacy was the Vice-president. Casey Kuypers was the secretary, and Suzanne Higinbotham was the treasurer. Key Club had meetings every Tuesday morning, and the officers met every Friday morning. Over all, Key Club was an enthusiastic group. All of the kids were interested in the welfare of others. They often gave money and support to the needy. They all enjoyed Key Club, and had a good year.
