Hijahll The WRAIN karate Club knows this exclamation well. The members had practice sessions every Tuesday and Thursday night as well as Saturday mornings. At the begin- ning of the year the club put on a demonstration in the Rose Garden so that all could see what karate entails. The Club also entered a local tourna- ment, where Donna Talbott won 2nd place in Kata. This was the last year that WRAIN will have its own karate club but a class will be offered through the Rec- reation Center. Many thanks are ex- tended to Norm Pregent, the instructor, for his time and eifort. Left to Right, Front Row: N. Keller, S. Kleschinsky, D. Talbott, R. Ostmann, N. Pregent. Back Row: R. Tateishi, N.

SGA is a student government orga- nization here at Delano which helps to coordinate the activities between the students and the administration. The members are also in charge of student activities and desk monitor- ing duties. This year, SGA has done ttmuch behind the scenes work? The mem- bers acted as a buffer between ad- ministration and the students and tried to arrive at compromises for both sides. Meetings were held once every month and were open to any students wishing to attend. Com- plaint boxes were sponsored for stu- dent complaints and suggestions. SGA sold bumper stickers to increase the budget; it helped to finance the USO Show and helped to coordinate distribution of funds from the Univer- sity of Maryland. This organization has helped to make the year enjoyable for the student body. Our thanks are extended to the members.

Twoey Tom What is a yearbook? A yearbook is a trip down timemory lanei, for most people. It is filled with the bind of pictures which bring gasps of astonishment, sighs, smiles, or laughter from its readers. It is the journalistic attempt to bring together as many of the important, special, funny, and sad events of an entire school year and combine them into a meaningful whole. The task of producing such a book belongs to the yearbook staff. These students, with the help of their faculty advisors and yearbook representative, are responsible for creating a piece of work which represents a bind of pictorial diary of a very impor- tant year for them, their classmates, and others involved with academic life. At WRAIN, the staff of The Pledge begins early to prepare for the task they have volunteered to perform.
