Chai' 5 fride jill Vaughan reads her winning pride essay, That's Pride. After watching committee's meet and activities being planned by different clubs, organizations, and students, one has to wonder if all this preparation is worth it. All those early morning or late night gatherings, the headaches and tired- 11655, the feeling of failure, is it worth it? To many students at Annapolis, it is. Many students participate in athletics, going through rigor- ous condition prog-rams, spending half their summer, Christ- mas, or Easter vacation working together as a team. They swim that extra length with chlorine filled eyes, or sprint for three more yards just striving to be able to win and be the best for their school. Sometimes they lose. But still they lose with dignity, knowing they tried their hardest. Still others are involved in various clubs and organizations. These students go over routines and march in soggy fields. Others stay in the evening to rehearse dance steps and lines, or work together carefully and thoughtfully on the school newspaper or yearbook. But pride is not just confined to athletics and clubs. Pride is a feeling, not really something you can put your finger on. lt is really giving up a part of yourself and your time, to make your club, sport, and school the best ever. That, is pride. Yes, Annapolis, it is worth it. by jill Vaughan .,-fwfr 1 ,':.y:jgL!A Pride King and Queen nominees look at the voters. Ann Farkas is crowned pride queen by Sue Perkins.
