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

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.

Jim l-lollar. Quiet on the set! Lights! Actors in their places! Cue the music! Ready? Sal enters stage left. . 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 sixth, seventh, and eighth grade choruses were the three performing groups that made up the choral part of the music program. The sixth grade chorus met twice a week after school with Ms. Bourgaize as the conductor and Mrs. Dissmeyer as accompanist. Miss Bourgaize directed the seventh grade chorus and Mrs. Dissmeyer directed the eighth grade group. Mrs. Dalton accompanied both groups. All choral groups performed several times a year. A small classical guitar ensemble also performed a few times in the spring. Mr. Gray directed both the seventh and eighth grade bands that numbered about 100 students each. The bands performed several times a E year. Assisting Mr. Gray were Mrs. Moseley and Mr. Schaffer.
