BLAZER POWERXRADIO CLUB You donit have to take your clothes off to have a good time, Walk this way, talk this way,', and Should I stay or should I go? were all parts of songs that allowed students to drop their books and jam. The Radio Club, a new addi- tion to the school, provided an atmosphere in the cafeteria that allowed for a place for people to go and get their minds off of school for awhile. It puts a spice in everyoneis day and a time to relax, said Sr. David Goldberg. The idea for this club came about two years ago but hadn't been approved until this year. Sr. Jeff Shesol, who organized the club, called a meeting last year to get things started. Around 80 students attended and about 40 students stayed with it and became disc jockeys for the year. Jr. Paola Banchero said, I wanted to be in the club because l want to do something with ra- dio in the future, and I love rock'n roll! Others joined just for something fun to do during their free time. Students found that one diffi- cult part of being a deejay was having an open mind to play a variety of songs. You have to have patience to put up with the many people who complain about the music you choose to play, said David. KOHS was equipped with about 60-70 re- cords and tapes, and deejays were encouraged to make their own cassettes with all different kinds of music. Jeff said, The best part of the club is seeing that students like it and appreciate it.', From jammin' in the cafete- ria to rockin, in the stands, Blazer Power also added a spir- ited addition to the school. The club, which consisted of around thirty people, attended sporting events throughout the year. They supported each sea- son's teams in the stands with cheers, chants, and overall spir- ll.

The club also helped sell spirit ribbons to fans in the stands. Sponsor Lauri Wilson, who replaced Gordon Young, said, The club gives students the op- portunity to support the school and at the same time have a great time. Getting involved in Blazer Power gave both the team inspi- ration and club members a chance at excitement and new friendships. Fr. Erin Nemir- ovski said, I thought it would be a fun way to get involved and meet new friends. Some peo- ple got involved because they couldn't participate in sports themselves and wanted to sup- port others. Besides adding enthusiasm to the games, the members also participated in other activities including pizza parties, rugby games, and charity work. Sr. John Kempfer said, The best part of Blazer Power was meeting people I wouldn't ordi- narily meet. We learned a lot from each other and had a fun time.
