RADI'I'ION i'YOU'RE OUTTA HERE! Usual- ly, this phrase is spoken by an um- pire in response to a coach's bad behavior. The phrase also described the administrative action toward the Senior Men's Club tSMQ, Senior Women's Club tSWQ, and Junior Girls Club UGO.

HWe weren't the ones who glued the locks or went on the underwear run. Sauter added, llThe school should be able to deal with a couple of pranks. Studentsl spirit did not Sauter also commented on the ef- fects of not being a part of the school. 'tlt was hard to get people together for activities, parties. and fund raisers, Sauter said. Although the clubs said it was dif- ficult to hold events, they all managed to do some good. USWC sponsored a canned food drive in December. and SMC and JGC both participated, SWC secretary Aimee Briggs said. SMC also worked for charity.
