Building up Assistance by Shane Vaughn In the beginning there was to- tal chaos. Then Zeus created the weight lifter , the worshipper to the god of iron. Once mighty gi- ants walked the land who had mastered the law of iron. Then the great war broke out and the towering giant civilization was laid to waste. Many centuries after the great war, man found the iron on the battle field and used it to better himself in the game of life by lifting this iron in great quantities. Now in the twentieth century, six of these omnipotent weight lifters have found their way to our little village of Vestaburg. And they call themselves the Vestaburg Wol- verine Weight Club. The mas- ter of these six mighty weight lifters is the awesome Mr. Kid- well. By day Mr. Kidwell is a mild mannered math and special ed. teacher but after school, he be- comes the Hulk! . These people may someday also be considered a Greek God if they continue to challenge the iron gods, said Kidwell. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the Vestaburg Wol- verine Weight Club met in the weight room in the high school gymnasium to test their ability by doing leg, bench, military presses, curls, and cleans. To in- crease their power they challenge these movements by adding on gigantic, round, flat chunks of iron in mega tons. To be a good weight lifter you've got to have concentration and determination, said Brad Johnston. Referring back to Rocky III Mark Anna said, Apollo Creed said it best in Rocky III, 'You've got to have the eye of the tiger. Not all gods can be contented with their followers, as a small band of freedom fighters known as Teen Institute tried to set up many activities to better the com- mon people. It tried to bring this school to- gether by scheduling skilled ac- tivities and various counseling sessions. These counseling ses- sion's subjects ranged anywhere from drug and alcohol abuse to teenage sex. But the efforts of TI fell onto deaf ears. TI fell through because the students around the school wer- en't interested, commented Aly- sia Gallihugh, We should have worked harder to make it go. I've been framed! Weightlifting helps keep me in shape and anyway. Brad's in there. Amy Jenkins Let's have some discussion. Being the advi- sorof the select-few Teen Institute program, gives Mr. Palmer insight into many prob- lems students face. Just a few more. Building muscles in the chest area, during the off season, makes Brad Johnston a better and tougher football player. 26 Assistance
