Above: Excited Librarians listen as Ann Cavanaugh, vice- president of the organization, reads a list of the groups of juniors to be initiated at the club’s annual fall party. The party was held October 1 at Vicki Coultas’s home. After a hearty meal, Spanish Club members undertake a rousing game of powder-puff football. As is usually the case in such games, no score was kept. Fall Get-togethers Relax Members Each fall many of the organizations of ZHS hold parties or get-togethers. Often these parties are for the purpose of initiating new members. The German Club held its party at the home of Lou Anne Taylor. Biff Esselburn’s farm was the site of Spanish Club’s fete. Librar- ians party took place at Vicki Coultas’s home. These parties and picnics offered welcome moments of fun and relaxation after the monotony of the school routine. These get-togethers gave members a chance to “live it up” with their friends. The Spanish Club held a wiener roast at Biff Essel- burn's farm outside the city. Kris Knecht anxiously waits for Rhonda Ankrum to finish their meal. 18
