Getting Recognized By Lori Raber Quick, Duck! exclaimed Matt Powers as an out-of-control rifle flew across the court. This year's Winterguard practiced hard with extremely challenging routines. Winterguard was an extention of the first semester color guard with a completely different style. Instead of performing with the band on the football field, the guard competed on inside basketball courts to recorded music. Most people don't even know what Winterguard is mainly because there are no home compe- titions, stated Michelle McClure. This year the guard made an attempt to become better known by performing at assemblies on different occasions. Poway took out two teams, one with strictly flags and one with flags and rifles. We had to eliminate our rifle line first semester but we are hoping to carry on the line from second semester through next year, commented Pam Haehl. The color guard performed to a strong classical song while the flag line's routine had a jungle look to it. I Winterguard I T ' M. McClure, B. Deacon, A. Roberts, K. Jackson, T. Wheeler, J.

Every Friday after school Poways' own synchronized swimming team could be seen practicing in the pool. Wendy .lef- fries, the team's coach, is a professional coach who showed the girls the proper way they should do their routines in the water. The only requirements were that you had to be a strong swimmer and be accurate with music. ln the pool the girls would do various routines When we do our routines the swimmers have to be in sync with each other and at the same time keep the beat of the music in the back of your head, stated club member Julie Schlect. The club's members hope that next year's club will be larger and stronger. lpha Theta J. Beers, B. Snyder, K. Studart, M. Brennan. N. Rollins, T. Hsiu, G. Tripp, M. Mentiza, A. Orluck, D.

Korgel fi. ln Sync By Chris Blackburn Mu Alpha Theta joined the ranks of new clubs this year. The club was formed as an extension of the Math and Computer Club. The major requirements for the club were that its members had to take two math tests over the course of the year. The tests involved questions that tested the logical thinking of the participants. The first math test was the UCSB math competition. lt's exciting to see how your math skills compare on a national lev- el, and Mu Alpha Theta was the club that helped to inform me about the tests, stated club member Stephanie Arns. lt's not surprising to know that Poway High students did excellent in these competi- tions. Mr. Norman Weiss, the club's advi- sor, helped to inform the members on up- coming contest and helped prepare them on those contests. Mu Alpha Theta may have been new this year but the participa- tion of its members will have allowed this club to stay around awhile. lt's proved to be fun and at the same time challenging.

The club had meet- ings to inform the members about the trip and to give everyone a chance to get to know each other. The bus ride was an incredible twenty-four hour experience, by the end of the trip we were bouncing off the walls and we had a great time, stated Tony James. The bus ride was only the beginning. The hotel parties and the various dinner expeditions added to the raging time.

The Ski Club had grown tremendously over the past few years. The skiers did a great job of promoting their favorite school activity away from school. This club was a popular and fun way to have a busy vacation and meet new people. No turning back now! Ski 153
