WHITE FIELD ! Doom Is Art Club Creation “I am the Doom” was a famil- iar cry during the pep assemblies this year. Thanks to the Art club. Salida’s Purple Doom mascot came to life. The Club created doom 3 years ago for a football poster. He became so popular, he became a tradition through the years. The doom has been printed on shirts and Spartan pins. When the “Grape Crush” defense came about, the art club developed it with the doom. Last year Art Club was dis- banded because of lack of inter- est, but this year bounced back with more enthusiasm than ever. Club members said that most of the enthusiasm is due to the leadership of Art Club sponsor Rod Farney. Farney has contributed much time and effort to the Art Club. The club has given two disco dances, the only dances of the year given by clubs. The first was given before Christmas vacation and included black light posters of reindeer and Santa Claus. High- light of the dance was when Santa himself appeared and handed out presents ranging from a sea-shell necklace to a can of deodorant. The second dance was held in January after a basketball game. It was in a “Jungle” setting that consisted of black light posters depicting jungle creatures and volcanoes. A prize was presented to Rita Klockenbrinck for the wildest hat and to Mary Shaw for the zaniest pair of socks, both are freshmen at Salida High. Originality — Art Club 25

The “Grape Crush poster, opposite page bottom, symbolizing the Spartan defense, deco- rated the scoreboard during the Buena Vista football game. Adorning the scoreboard with a poster is a tradition which originated from the Art Club. Another Art Club tradition is the appearance of Purple Doom, left, at pep assem- blies during the football season. In an eerie voice the Doom wishes the Spartans luck during up coming games.
