I learned different ways of drawing an object. I As artist for the Call, Eppler used his talent in a class other than art. I enjoyed being on the Call because I was able to apply my art to something serious, said Eppler. It was also fun because everyone on the staff worked together as a team. . Paul Clemons, senior, was also on the Call. -He excelled in photography, ac- cording to H.L. Hall, Call adviser. Clemons' photography skills won him both state and national awards. In both his junior and senior years Clemons entered the journalism Edu- cation Association's IjEAj national con- test in newspaper and newsmagazine photography, and won first place both times. as elementary school Eppler began experimenting with art.

While Clemons photographed ath- letics, john Kramer, senior, participat- ed in them as a swimmer for Sugar Creek. Extensive training was a necessity, ac- cording to Kramer.

Correcting and helping the seventh graders with their dancing was worth- while, according to Myers. I enjoyed teaching the seventh graders, and watching them improve as the lessons went on, he said. Other students combined the talent of dancing with singing. Erika Shup- mann, senior, participated in both Swing Choir and A Cappella Choir. In A Cappella she was the student director of the Girls' Triple Trio. Since her sophomore year, Schup- mann also partook in school produc- tions.

The class bought the fish to use as prizes for its booth at the Greentree Festival in Kirkwood Park, Sept. 8-9 and 15-16. G We tried to save them, said Alex Manse, class president, but the fish did not agree with that so we dumped them Manse replaced the goldfish with 200 more, to be sure the seniors had plenty of prizes to give away. To win a goldfish someone had to throw a ping-pong ball into a fish bowl from about five feet away, said jeff Cleveland, class treasurer. We made 515750 from both weekends.
