ietefs Dilemma Try Exercise for Your Beautiful Body Striving for a beautiful body has been the preoccupation of many people lately. High school students attacked the problem by jogging, lifting weights, working out at Nautilus, exercising with Richard Sim- mons, attending aerobic dance classes, and almost everyone was on a diet of some kind. There was a diet for everyone and they were all different, but there was always one main objective: losing weight. There were such diet plans as eating only soups, never eating after 6:00 p.m., or avoiding desserts. People often joined together in their fight against obesity. Weight-Watchers has helped many people lose weight. In this program, the dieter could eat almost any- thing, but the food had to be weighed. Kristy Zinanni has tried several diets. One of these was called the Health Food Diet. lt consisted of the use of such diet aids as fructose fthe sugar of fruit, it cre- ates no insulin responsel, safflower oil lwhich washes excess water from the bodyj, granular powder lecithin lit redis' tributes body weight, calms nerves, and takes excess material off arteriesj and pow- dered brewer's yeast lwhich gives com- plete B protein and fights hungerj. HAfter a couple of days, there was no hunger, says Kristy, Other people tried such diets as the Be- verly Hills Diet and the Dolly Parton Diet. Because for the first eleven days the dieter is allowed to eat only fruit, the Beverly Hills Diet was a dangerous one. ln the Dolly Parton Diet, certain foods were als lowed on certain days, mostly fruits, vege- tables, and lean beef. Whatever the method, high school stu- dents found it was worth the effort as the pounds melted away. WM

Pcpp Pirates -- 'Class Battle Cry' UV-I-C-T-O-R-Y! That's the Pirate battle cry! This chant is familiar to all of us who attended the 3:14 Pep as- semblies in Kingman Gym. With this Class Battle Cry it could be proven which class could yell the loudest. The seniors undoubtedly win each year as the walls of the gym re- sound with a monstrous momentum that seems to rock it to and fro. Students gathered in Kingman Gym as the band played a tune to enliven the atmosphere and the Pomerettes quickly began their well-rehearsed dance steps. Excitement was generat- ed as the students with some help from the cheerleaders, proclaimed their support of the diverse sports teams. At times, different coaches gave an appreciative speech and encouraged everyone to show his support and en- thusiasm by attending the games. The pep assemblies were not al- ways accepted with an excited re- sponse but they did create a good stu- dent involvement which progressed and became better as the year went on. Above. Both teachers and students became a part of the Homecoming assembly as a part of Teacher's Feud Skit emceed by student Council Vice-President John Lewis. Right. Bearing the Ottawa colors proudly are P99 Leason, Sue Weger, Jody Stortz, and JoEl- len Huber. ' N... 26fPep Assemblies A U f 4 ,fs f Ying T .I 'I'-'X 1 'tif ,A
