Each gymnastic event; the uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, or vault, gave team members plenty of room for in- dividual creativity. Taking advan- tage of time during intramurals after school, the team practiced every Thursday and attended special workshops throughout the year. Routines were performed at Varsity basketball halftime shows, seventh grade orientation, Parents Night Show, and the Intermediate Night. Goals were set and achiev- ed in improving all around gym- nastic ability, good sportsman- ship, team togetherness and especially team work. With a physical effort and a lot of spirit the Intermediate Gymnastic team truly displayed their talents in each and every manuever they made.

Stewart Patterson transforms a roll of black and white film into a roll of negatives. Becky Heavner and Patty Hooper make posters for the upcoming school photo contest. Dean Surette makes sure exposure is set Let’s go into my darkroom and see what developes! Photographers really got tired of people who tried to make photography jokes. After all, the Photography Club was certainly no joke. Members strove to increase the depth of their knowledge in the field by studying advanced techni- ques in camera operation, film pro- cessing, printing, and picture mounting. The club sponsored movies on the various styles of famous photographers and the owner of Photo Craft was invited to speak. The club's field trip to Lake Braddock gave everybody an op- portunity to stop and shoot nature scenes. A photo show gave the club's talent exposure in the school while a school-wide photo contest helped raise funds. Members concentrated on the ar- tistic aspect of photography once the mechanical operation of taking a picture had become a single reflex.

During a basketball halftime show Stacey Gupp swooshes her pom poms to the 7th grade team routine to Dallas.” Anne Myong, April Buckllnger, and Christine Julliano do can-can kicks in unison to the 8th grade half-time show. A shrill whistle blew and the sound of marching feet began. Dressed in matching purple, gold and white uniforms, they marched in unison to the center of the football field. The whistle blew twice more; they turned and hit a stance facing the home crowd with smiles on their faces. Over the loud speaker, music blared as a routine of tac- tical precision began. No, it wasn’t the U.S. military forces but the thir- ty members of the Eighth Grade Drill team. With a position usually held by a teacher, Junior Stacey Staats sponsored and taught the Eighth Grade Drill team routines to “Don’t Stop Until You Get Enough,” Pop Music,” “Give Me Some Lovin,” and the theme from “The Force.” They performed these specially choreographed routines at all the home J.V. foot- ball and basketball games. The thirty-two members of the Seventh Grade Drill team practiced on Mon- days in the Gym Hall on routines choreographed by Juniors Cindy Ackerman, Julie Gillespie and Karen Zaterka, to the music of “American Bandstand,” the theme from “Dallas and “Burn That Disco Floor. All of the routines were performed at home freshmen football and basketball games. Both the Seventh and Eighth Grade Drill teams showed their talents in performing with spirit, tactical precision, and of course, a smile. 8th GRADE DRILL TEAM Sponsor: S. Staats; Members: T.
