These clubs get the athletes involved in helping the school by holding ropes at bas- ketball games and directing traffic during the football season. Varsity P members also encour- age school spirit for athletic events. For example, the Girls' Varsity P Club sold buttons with the spirited saying Go Big Black to cheer on the basketball team. They also had numerous bakesales after school. Boys' Varsity P held a donkey bas- ketball game early in the winter to raise money for their club. Coaches from the high school played on don- kies and won against a team from the WLEC radio station. Varsity P clubs do ont only sell things and sponsor games, though. Any athlete who has lettered in a sport is eligible to join the club. For five dollars, they get a t-shirt and a free pass to all home games. 1.

1. Even falling doesn't hurt Linda Eversole when she has a good time skiing. 2. Bus trips to Brandywine gives members a chance to relax before and after skiing. 3. Before going onto the slopes, ski club members listen to the instructor's directions. As the first snow falls, the avid ski- er begins hunting for his beloved skis. While he dusts them, he dreams of being the first one to sail down the glistening snow covered slopes. These thoughts do not only come to professional skiiers, but also to high school skiiers. Every Tuesday afternoon for six weeks, a group of approximately 41 students traveled by bus to Brandywine, where they skied until 9:30. these winter adventures cost each ski club member S50 for six left tick- ets and rental equipment or S532 for the lift passes. Each participant also recieved three extra passes to Brandywine, which they club use on thier own time. Ski cub members started in early fall to raise money for their outings by selling Health and almond bars. They also planned a Saturday of to- boganning, sledding and, or course, skiing.

billslioifmm laws at YOUTH UN GO T Americans often joke about how the government is run by inexperi- enced people. Today, this may be true. But in the future, this situation may be changed because of the Youth-In-Government program, Students from Ohio who are inter- ested in government have been par- ticipating in Youth-In-Government for the last few years. The program works somewhat like the regular state government, only at a modi- fied scale. With the largest representation in Ohio, Erie County sent 80 delegates to a mock session of the legislature. Twenty-four students represented Perkins. Each student and a partner worked on a bill that they thought would help Ohio residents. After the bills were written, they were rated and put in order of importance. All of the student delegates met in the House and Senate chambers to dis- cuss and vote on which bills should become law. Each bill was brought up in front of a committee by the partners who wrote the bill. lf the bill passed, it went onto the floor of the House and Senate and then to the governor who could veto the bill or pass it. On Thursday evening, the first night in Columbus, the delegates were honored with a banquet. After the dinner, the tapping took place. John Stewart and and Dan Sapper were elected to Speaker of the House and Clerk of Courts, respec- tively. The youths were in session from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. on Friday. That evening, the students enjoyed a governor's dance. Saturday was a day for getting packed to return home, so the stu- dents only had a morning session. The delgates returned home in the afternoon following three busy days in the House and Senate. 1. After being elected Speaker of the House, John Stewart calls the student delegates to order. 2. Junior, Karla Stierhoff makes a comment about a bill which will be voted on. 22 Youth In Government
