Determined lliance Students and teachers were indeed allies in the never ending war for a good education and a winning team. It took determined people fighting together to get the A in chemistry, or to win the game. There were many different battles going on, like the battle ofthe bands.

Cool 'cats You mean there IS life out- side of school'?', questioned lan- guage arts teacher Doreen Reiff- Buelt. Yes, there Was. Believe it or not. Well, at least they tried to have one. When not in the classrooms, faculty members were working at sport camps, country clubs, or private enterprises that fulfilled their other-than-classroom in- terests. Several swung golf clubs, others chased tennis balls, and a few pitched tents to enjoy the great outdoors. Lazy afternoons the fishermen of the faculty could be found lying on a bank or dock where they dreamed of catching the big one. Breaking the tedium of their hectic schedules during the school year, many made time for a dip in the pool or a lap around the track at the Davenport Ath- letic Club. While several were seriously jogging the terrains of the Quad- Cities, others were quietly need- lepointing, playing a serious game of bridge, or escaping into a captivating novel. Whatever the faculty did with their free time was worth the time it took. A Lv.
