Mem bers need pain ts Points were scored in athle- tic contests but under new guidelines points also were needed to maintain member- ship in Rep Club. Points were earned by at- tending games and making posters for ditterent sports. To remain members in the club, students had to maintain eighty percent ot all possible points. The otticers had to earn ninety percent. tfliveryone thinks the point system is fair because in order to remain a member you must be involved and that is the whole point ot the club, stated the president, lO8 Pep Club 1. , Desiree Staples. To raise money tor transpor- tation to away tootball and bas- ketball games, the members sold Homecoming buttons, Santa grams, and trick or treats. For the new sponsor, run- ning the club proved to be a challenging endeavor. We were striving to achieve new things and hoped by the close ot the year to obtain most ot them, stated Mr. Robert ler- kan, sponsor. While membership rules changed, the old philosophy ot raising school spirit re- mained the same. v ff I 5 5 5 3 l , 1 it ,..,. . .g,g..g s. fer Right: While learning right along with the members, Mr. Robert lerkan, new club sponsor, directs club activi- ties.

,Qu is Equipment, books, cameras and action drew students out of study halls and after school to be part of AV, PST and Li- brary Aides. AV students didn't just bring audio visual equipment to classesg they also were respon- sible for the majority of the signs around the school. AV students were chosen if they had a study hall and a C aver- age. The standards are still considered, but we get stu- dents now by here-say from brothers, sisters and friends. l consider AV a relaxed study hall, commented Miss Nancy Ahlstedt, AV secretary.

Learning to work with cam- eras and taking perfect pic- tures were a few of the things students learned in PST. These students met every Tuesday during communication period and participated in a nation- wide contest where they dis- played their best works and were rated on them. l'm hop- ing PST will have helped me become a better photogra- pher, and l think it has, stated lennifer Drossett.

gsm Q. W , itil ix .SAS Dancing in the water? Not impossible for members of Synchro as they swam to popular songs at their Spring fFall show, llSwim TV. The girls performed to such songs as l'Let's Hear lt for the Boy, l'Physical, HDisco Duck, and finally a medley of songs to which Kris Zmuda, president, had a solo. l'The girls really picked up routines quickly. l'm glad they did because the show was very early this year, and we had only two months of practice. The show went very well con- sidering the shortage of time, Top: Stroking in sync is the basis of all routines, Middle: Synchronized Swim: Front Row: Paula Franson, Terri Welch, Laura Swyters, Lucy Harwell, Peggy Harwell, Linda Valdivia, Lisa Nye, Row 2: Debbie Thomson, Becky McCarter, Kristi Franson Ctreasl, Kris Zmuda Cpresl, ludy Merritt fseol, Wa tc-21' dancers practice in sync stated Kris. To raise money forthe show, the Synchers took part in a Swimea-fund, sold flowers and buttons, and worked at the concession stands at basketball games. All the money was used for a new sound system rather than costumes. The new sound system was very helpful. lt made it easier to hear the music while in the wa- ter, commented ludy Merritt, secretary. Having a slow start and a shortage of practice time, the Synchers proved that they could still Twist by the Pool!
