Community Involvement Solid . .. that’s what we would like our school to be. Building a firm foun¬ dation takes lots of time, effort, and especially team work. Thanks to the many clubs and organizations the Rock is as strong as it ever has been. This school year two new clubs have been added to the already lengthy list of organizations. The newest group is the Rocky Bike Club which got off to a good start due to the national interest in biking. The once strong and popular Ski Club made a repeat performance on the list. With these two additions stu¬ dents now had a great opportunity for some good outdoor activities. The many extra-curricular activities of the school are quite often sponsored by clubs. So without these, our school wouldn’t be what we’ve made it today. It is a school whose students care enough to make it great. Special recognition went to all the groups like Senate, Lettermens, and Key Club who mix fun with community service. Blood drives, learn to swim programs, and visits to the elderly were just some of the good works of the Rocky student body. So with those students, teachers and sponsors in mind, we give a special col¬ or salute to the clubs and organizations here at the Rock who have made it what it is today . . . Solid. As Ski Club returned to Rocky this year many members like Bob Lundholm and Brian Nelson checked-out new gear. 12 Student Life
