After thirteen years of frivolous play, the seniors of Armstrong continue the tradition of commu- nity service, known to all as social in- volvement . It is a volunteering service established through the Social 12 class that offers seniors a chance to earn a bet- ter grade in class, interact with a wide variety of people, and develop helpful skills. Such activities include resource room aid, teacher assistance at elementary schools, and work at the Humane Society. Brenda helps out Mrs. Schnell in the language lab.

Fall Cheerleading In 1988-89, the fall A B squad cheer- leaders had one of the best seasons ever. Of course it came with a lot of hard work and a lot of fun! Along with the infamous 6:00 a.m. every-day-during- the-summer practices, the cheerleaders went to cheerleading camp at St. Cloud State University. They experienced four grueling days of 100 degrees weather and returned with sun burned faces to prove it! But all the cheerleaders received out- standing blue ribbons for their great work. And actual cheering for the Arm- strong teams was the best part of all. A fantastic way to end the season was cheer- ing for the volleybal tournament (not to mention the late nights at the hotel). Thanks to Jane Miller and all the cheer- leaders for the best season at Armstrong!
