Cougars see a school ope 1 (,()IN(; FOR a layup is Rudy McOriff, The Cougars defeated ■ the Palm Desert A tecs. 97-41, Jan. 16. As the year progressed, students saw the rewards when you open a school with care. The student life program that caught fire with Homecoming stayed busy throughout the year, including plans for a formal spring dance. Can- yon Springs ' life was not only busy but, according to Michelle Missildine, stu- dent body president, we had fun. Canyon Springs ' academics also made rapid progress. I think we had a very good aca- demic program. We had a lot of vari- ety in classes, Mrs. Angle Arm- strong, tenth grade counselor, stated. One achievement was that the per- centage of freshmen who received F ' s was lower than it had been for the pre- vious three years. The number of stu- dents with 4.0 grade averages was also very good. Also the percentage of stu- dents who kept their eligibility for ex- tracurricular activities was high. Clubs remained active throughout the year. The music and drama clubs presented The Magic Christmas Tree and You ' re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. Other groups took field trips, including the cheerleaders and those in science, drama, art, jour- nalism and math. According to Mrs. Debra Yukto, the math club adviser, the clubs set traditions and got a lot of students in- volved in activities. Football, soccer, boys ' basketball and cross country made enthusiasm high as spring sports began. JV boys ' basketball and soccer had both gone undefeated. The program was phenomenal for a first year school. said Doug Stock- ham, JV basketball coach. OptncJ With Oi
