Ever seen a park with more litter than people? If SO, you've probably been frustrated by the lack of opportunities to help out, but take heart — there’s always PSEP, Park Students for Environmental Protection. This group is dedicated to cleaning up the environment in St. Louis Park. Decorating trash cans, planting trees and listening to speakers for Westwood Hills Nature Center, PSEP members did more than just hold meetings — THEY ACTED!!! 21 During Thursday afternoon club meetings, PSEP members try to learn as much about the environment as possible. Al Ludtke gives a slide presentation on the Westwood Hills area.

Library Club: more than keeping students quiet Library Club did more than just check books out to students. Members sacrificed prep periods to assist librarians in doing many behind-the-scenes chores, offering a variety of talents. Creativity was needed to decorate the display case in the hall. Patience was needed to cope with question-filled students who straggled in. Organization was needed to properly file the massive card catalog. Above all, a sense of responsibility was imperative to keep students informed and the volume down. LIBRARY CLUB — BOTTOM ROW: M. Billmon, J. Bruitod, J. Brutfod. ROW 2: K. Trovtftftw, V. Hotter, A. Bruhelm, J. Fithmon. As Patti Brodt checks out a book, Judy Fishman emphasizes the importance of returning materials within the three-week deadline. Jeanne Andersen and Vicki Hoffer use an oversized book to hide from question-filled students filling the library. 20

Land of ten thousand hobbies Parkites’ attention turned to skiing along forested paths around Lake Minnetonka, hunting pheasants in northern swamps or just cooling off in spring-fed lakes. Others searched to express themselves by creating pewter jewelry, composing music or a piece of literature or collecting nostalgia such as Sha Na Na records. Observers did their thing by becoming cultured at the Guthrie, Minnesota Youth Symphony or a Johnny Winter Concert. Whatever their bag, energy wasn't lost, only converted to new forms. With the fierce competition for fuel, Katie Kroehling combats winter transportation problems by donning her snowshoes and bearing the cold. Motorcycling in winter! Crazy? Not to Robert Kramer as he revs up his Yamaha for a spin around the block. 22 Trotting across a field of snow, Lora Berg finds that riding her horse on weekends is a great way to forget pressures brought on by school.
