Backing Up the Boys Pep Club The day of the Homecoming game I was a little self-conscious when I went to school since I was wearing a bright gold T-shirt. People kept com- ing up and asking, VVhat's the T-shirt for? I had to explain to them, lt's for the pep club. Then I would add, We're going to root at the game, since the club had just been formed. That night at the game the whole club, about 100 of us, went down on to the field and made a giant tunnel for the football players to run through. It was so exciting. I felt I would have a lot of fun with this club since we would root at a lot of the sporting events. lt wasn't all fun and games, though. I remember when my friend Gret- chen Mark decided to start the club. She, had been thinking about it for a while, but we could never get an advisor. Finally, Mr. Tim Guzik, a brand new teacher, accepted the post. At the first meeting there was a much bigger turn-out than expected. After that, we decided on uniforms, arranged transportation to the games and tried to plan what we wanted to do for the rest of the year. There was a lot of running around and organiz- AGOING CRAZY AND HAVING FUN Iennifer McQuilken, Iennifer Yip, Kim Huttger and Geri Takai are cheering and representing the newly APEP CLUB.

Th -Cultural Side of Language French Club Parlezfyous Francais? lf you did, that was the only prereciuisite needed to join the French club, Anya one talcing a French class was technie cally in the club. No one was taught how to speak the language but they did get to discover a whole new cul- ture. NN ho would have thought the plain variety ot garden snails were a national French delicacy called escargots ? The club learned these things by planning outings to places where they could find French culture in the LA. area. Cioing to a French art exhibition at the LA. Art Museum or visiting the Cate Beignetl' in the Brea .Ntall brought Europe closer to home. The club also participated in many school related activities. For the sec'- ond xear they won tirst place tor their Homecoming float. Few brave meme bers dared to ride their bicycles in front ot' the whole school at the toot- ball game, creating a simulation of Frenchmen going on an sortie touta ingl. They pedaled down the track behind the Homecoming court, with red, white and blue streamers llap- ping against the wind. No one would have taken them for Americans with their loaves of French bread, berets .tda-c and moustaches. Ntost of the French club members were of the French Ill and IV classes. They made decisions like accepting a challenge trom the German club to play a game ot dodgeball. lhe club also planned to set up a booth at club day during winter and spring sports week. Their goal was to do somef thing once a month, which made them one ot the most actixe clubs on campus. ln December, with the spirit of Christmas in mind, the club sang Christmas carols at the Clara Baldw in Convalescent Home, in Trench, ot course! Later, a party was held for all the carolersi QFRENCH CLUB.

Promoting school spirit, keeping stats, making goodies and toilet papering houses were activities wrestling rooters held to support theteam. Under the leadership of advisor and wrestling Coach Rick Valencia and president Diana Quinn, involve- ment increased to sixteen members. I feel that enthusiasm and the out- fits have improved over the years, stated lulie Butkus. According to Matt Haines, most wrestlers liked the extra attention and support they received from their secret pal, a rooter assigned to each varsity wrestler. The rooters helped the vvrestlers vvith their car wash and had a bake sale of their own. Soccer Rooters Thirty-three girls were added to the Varsity soccer team. Not as play- ers, but as rooters. Each soccer player had a secret pal vvho brought him flowers and goodies on game days. In addition, the rooters kept stats, took care of refreshments, made posters, and gave moral support. We appre- ciate all the support given by the soc- cer rooters, stated soccer player lohn Caligiuri. The girls also helped out with the fund raisers which included a pen sale and a kick-a-thon.
