Early risers filled dance class Getting up at 7:30 in the morning to dance for two hours straight may not be everyone's idea of how to spend two mornings a week. But this year, about sixty girls and two guys not only did it, but most of the time we did it cheerfully. Anyone who was around school at that hour would probably be laughing at the sight of all of us running down to the locker room dressed in only leotards and tights, and sometimes pants. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning l would ask myself if dancing was worth all this trouble. My answer was al- ways the same. Yes, it was worth it. Dancing is much more than a form of physical ex- cercise. Dancing is a way of expressing how you feel, and along with it comes the added bonus of getting and staying in good shape. When I think back on all the fun l had getting ready for the concert, and all of the new friends l met, I feel really good inside. From the first day of class to the last, people cooperated with each other and helped each other with their dances and technique. We all learned so much. l'll never forget the night of the concert. When we were on stage before the lights went up, we could see all the people in the auditorium. But when the lights shone out on me, I felt as if l was sitting on top of the world. -Wendy Ross Upper Right: Ruth Mauri leaps through Ease On Down the Road .

ASB Gfficers rekindle school spirit Being Student Body President has taught me that it takes an awful lot of energy to work with so many dif- ferent kinds of people. lt has shown me that sometimes you have to work with what you've got, not what you want. One thing l've noticed this year is that the apathy that still exists at Saratoga is more evident among the faculty and administration than the students. Whether it is the result of the work done during our term, or the influence of Mrs. Perry, or just a natural tendency in students, or just a combination of all three, one of this year's accom- plishments has been the rekindling of school spirit and student involvement. This has been reflected by the in- creasing participation in rallies, dances, and extraciricular activities in general.
