Around Having fun is the name of the game. Woodlan students are often seen goofing around and wasting time. Sometimes even the teachers get into acting crazy to make another day a little more fun. Acting crazy and like Nerds relieves the tension and pressure of everyday school life. Warriors are known to make the best of their free time. Goofing around in the lobby after lunch seemed to be the most relaxing and some- times the most fun part of the days. As some seniors played the game Duck, Duck, Goose and enjoyed paperwad baseball games, they proved that seniors could act goofy. Teachers also enjoyed the lunch hour in their lounge because they had to catch up on the latest news and socialize with other teachers. When the lunch bell rang it was back to class. During the five minutes between classes students asked many questions: for example, Was the test hard? Are you going to the game tonight? Do you have any pictures left? Did you finish your homework? Write me a letter! is something often heard in the halls. When teachers gave students time to study, they were often caught writing letters or passing notes. Whether it ' s hallway fun or classroom mischief, Warriors believe in just goofing around. Caught in action skipping class are seniors Amy Anderson and Chad Hissong. Senior Paul Schlegel takes a break from homework to write a letter. Goofing Around 15

' All Kinds of Spirit From WHS ipirit Week: The successful spirit week showed how nuch the Warriors cared for the victorious ootball team. From the grass skirts and unglasses of Hawaiian day, to the plaid lants and striped shirts of Nerd day, the Varriors all were participating to get the Varriors on the warpath to beat the rival 2am, the Leo Lions. The feat was then ccomplished. iasketball Aerobics: The boys varsity and reserve basketball ;ams started out conditioning in a differ- nt way this year besides running and racticing their jump shots. Mr. Gay Mar- n, the boys varsity basketball coach, lought aerobics would be a good way to et the foot movement and quickness that le team needed this year so aerobics it ' as. Coach Martin says We needed the uickness this year that we had the last !w years. One of the players expressed is feelings about the aerobics: Before e started I thought it would be a waste of me, but after we did it, it was not too bad nd I felt loose and ready to play. Coach lartin states It was beneficial to the ones ho set their minds to it, and not to the les who just went through the motions. he players were teased a lot and the fact lat they hung in there and participated lowed the spirit for the team and Wood- n High School. Pep Sessions: The first pep session for the Warriors was held on Tuesday, September 25. The pep session was a rather different kind, with a contest of Lady Warrior weight- lifters and a Warrior beauty contest. The winner of the he-lady weightlifters was senior Lynn Meinerding, and the feminine winner of the beauty contest was the sleek sophomore Lyle Vondran. All of the effort was for the Warrior football team to tri- umph over the Leo Lions. The second pep session was held that Friday, September 28. With the band, drill squad and students making the foot- ball team rowdy, the sure win was on its way. A quote from Mr. C was, It was well organized and served its purpose. The purpose was for the team to get fired up and win and with the help of the stu- dents they did just that. Blood Donations: Another kind of spirit is the spirit of giving , not only during Christmas time, but all the time, like giving blood. The Warriors started giving blood in the small gym at 10:30 a.m. on December 14, and did not stop until after school was over. From getting checked for hemoglobins to the snacks for energy, the Warriors par- ticipated with positive attitudes for the life giving project. Altogether, 93 pints of blood were donated. Senior Jeanette Platter said, I was nervous, but it may save a life someday. This was the same feeling of many other blood donors and with that attitude we can be grateful for the kind of students here at Woodlan High School. Food Donations: Spirit for the unfortunate was shown by the Student Council ' s food and money drive in December. All the first period classes were competing against each oth- er on certain days of the week to see who could accumulate the best quantities. To add a little incentive, doughnuts and juice were offered to the class that accom- plished the most. Mr. Holt ' s German class that won, enjoyed their doughnuts to the fullest. The overall count was 950 cans of food and a collection of $1,500. Thanks to the entire school for their participation and spirit for the unfortunate. A nervous senior.
