The Spirit attempted to feature articles about interesting people and events at the middle school. It also included polls, cartoons, and creative writing which were gathered from students who were not on the staff. L L' Lett to Right, ist Row Sponsors Ms Campbell, Ms Ellis, Mrs Wyzkoski.

Sterling Middle School Drama Club burst into life this year with the production of The Sage of Sagebrush Sal. The Drama Club consisted of over fifty students and seven faculty members. Each member of the club had specific tasks during club performances. These included: keeping up with good grades, set design and construction, costumes, make-up, actors, actresses, understudies, student managers, lights, music, advertising, audience warm-up, and dancers. Each part was vital to the complete performance. Eight to ten weeks prior to the performance, rehearsals began. Rehearsals were full of bloopers as well as heartwarming moments when ever- thing clicked Above all, the club learned to work as a team and shared together the tingles of standing ovations knowing they did their best and had a blast doing it! 64

The student council consisted of a representative and an alternate from every homeroom in schools A, B, and C. The members were chosen by the students in their homeroom at the beginning of the school year. The council was in charge of trying to resolve pro- blems students might have had. The problem was brought to a representative and then to the council where a solution would be sought. The council also was involved in many other school activities. They sponsored a food drive at Thanksgiving, organized a Spirit Day where students dressed in the colors of their favorite football team, and at mid term began selling doughnuts, juice, and hot chocolate between 8:00 and 8:20 each morning. -if Wa? its Picture tri: Left to Right: Jennifer Lees, Treasurer: Brandy Truitt, President: Kim Whitthuhn, Secretary.

Sherri made the morning announcements and Heather made the afternoon announcements. One of the most important duties was to be on time. Another was to speak clearly, distinct- ly, and in a pleasant sounding voice. The experience enabled students to speak before a large audience and build self confidence. 63

Many of our students had already been directly involved in working on computers either through local camps offered by NOVA, or through hands-on experience with computers owned by their own families and friends. These students were interested in learning about and working on computers throughout the school year and in an organized club atmosphere with others who shared their same interests. The Computer Club was a club with an exciting future as we looked forward to our own classroom computers at SMS. The 35 members should be helpful in creating a place for computers in our school. Mrs. Lynn and Mrs. Floss were the teacher sponsors. 65
