Zaniness promotes creative spirit Uncontrollable enthusiasm could best describe Allen Cathey as he motivates other members of the club during the Homecoming pep rally. trains of Hurts So Good overcame the bands warm-up notes and beckoned the shy ones waiting beneath the buster posters to make the trek across the gym floor to take a place. Hard hats were scattered among this bunch, and noise-makers dulled the hearing of the non-members. The emergence of the elected cheerleaders sent the frenzy into motion and began the celebration, lmprovised. unusual cheers replaced the stale, traditional ones, and members were not timid in using their outside voices. The large membership paid a mere dollar to join into the most motivated and inspired groups currently known, Yet. other requirements besides the one dollar due were demanded of the members, Great zeal, volume and nerve were all unwritten requirements for admittance into the club. Exuberant President Allen Cathey summed up the Spirit Club 1 Design by Lisa Groce philosophy To promote school- wide spirit and to unify the entire student body '. Perhaps the most appreciated effort of the club was the weekly Spirit Club Salute. Weekly recognitions of outstanding leaders of teams and clubs were announced at the Friday pep rallies land throughout the yearl. From painting unusual posters C Whiz Kids are like totally brainy. l to yelling at athletic events, the Spirit Club was an organization which could always be counted upon. Their faithful endurance and attempts to dispell apathy were worth inexpressable amounts to the many organizations they lent their support to.

ART CLUB 0OH' , AA ' , Prevail a Ra talent molded s students wandered through the maze of pictures displayed in the art show they reacted with shock at the talented work of their classmates. They muttered words of praise to their favorite works and tried to communicate their feelings to their friends. In the middle of an art room filled with ooh's, aah's and look at this one 's, Mrs. Sina Coulson appears to belong as much as any of the drawings that are being viewed. Through four Art club members assisted in the ar- rangement ofthe art show, Anita Dun- can fjuniorj pads and stamps a painting. Pham by: Tony Safdana. 1 ll gn by Suranne I ivmprnu years as art instructor, Mrs. Coulson has been able to work with and mold the raw talents of many outstanding art students. In her teaching, she emphasized originality and the right lobe theory, an art method emphasizing the use of the right side of the brain, Her abilities were evident when her students emerged from the art show with over ninety first place ribbons. The top winner for the second straight year was Pam Defreese, who earned eleven ribbons for her work. The student body and teachers marveled at the excellent work that was displayed in the art show. To the unobservant, the drawings were simply pretty pictures. To the more observant, they held a message of their own. To the artist, however, they represented a part of themselves. They were the tedious hours spent defining each line. They were the heaping mounds of crumpled efforts in their bedroom than trash cans. Perhaps more anything else, they were the heart, their soul, and personality of creator, whose barely legible name was scrawled in the corner. julie Richards.
