Taking the Pom Pons place of honor this year is le newly organized Sturges Drill Team. This or- inization, consisting of approximately 64 girls, is ' illing to spend a linle of the extra time it takes to roduce a fine marching group. Their uniforms of white pleated skirts, white blouses with navy blue collars and cuffs, black ties and white tennis shoes and socks makes them a snappy military group. Members of the drill team participated at the Football Tournament, the Indio Date Festival Parade and all the home games. Assisting Miss Dorothy Berry and Mrs. Helen Rush are the girl junior coaches. Dressed in their white gym clothes these eighth and ninth grade girls lead exercises, demonstrate correct calisthenics form and serve as referees for the girls ' physical edu- cation classes. Girl Junior Coaches are chosen for their dependability, skill and leadership ability. IJdou Aunlor L oacheS Officiating at games during gym peri- ods, leading calisthenics, and handling locker room activities are the tasks of the boy junior coaches, sponsored by Mr. Blake Neal.

New members learn the science of the game from Mr. Taylor and from experienced play- ers. A continuous tournament run throughout the year and standings are published in Sturges Star, our school paper. CLUB PROQRAM The club program at Sturges is designed to give the student an opportunity to pur- sue his special interests and try out things which are new to him. When a pupil is willing to spend his time in an after school adtivity he is showing his citizenship and school spirit as well as his interest in the club. Part of our school philosophy con- cerns the boys and girl? who do not have time in their busy schedules to take all the subjects they wish, but who may, through the club program, participate in any num- ber of extra-curricular experiences. oLibraru Worhers Assisting Mrs. Norma Parker, our librarian, are the library workers. Working at the desk, checking books in and out and assisting other stu- dents to find and replace books on the shelf are just a few of the many duties of the library workers. Keep- ing over 8,000 books in circulation is a job made much easier by the help of this diligent group of students.

Although this is only their second year in exis- tence, they have become a regular performing group at Sturges. ' On Saturday, January 27, 1962, Sturges partici- pated in the annual City-Wide Speech Contest. Under an experimental program the criticism of judging was rated to a point where only a small percentage of students would receive a superior rating. Sturges again earned the best record in the city by receiving 6 superior ratings out of 1 1 entries. Those who received superiors were Sandy Hughes, 7th grade humorous; Karen Robinson, 8th grade serious; Helene Tanner, 8th grade humorous; Lorinda Britton, 8th grade humorous; Lani Smiley, 9th grade serious; and Bob Barrows, 9th grade humorous. Students were coached by Mr. Vitek. f% Lorinda Britton Helene Tanner Selected as outstanding speakers in the City Speech Contest, the girls pictured above pre- sented their selections at the annual Spring Festival.

Pas U Cyiif earn ZJ ' oowait Much energy and stamina are required of all ninth grade boys if they expect to be selected to play varsity football at Srurges. Mr. Wulfing and Mr. Neal, the coaches, have worked hard and long to produce the fine team pictured. Football teaches students team play, timing, fair play, sportsmanship and helps to build character by teaching the boys to live clean lives. Srurges has good reasons to be proud of its team this year.
