EHS had a Twist and Shout volley- ball season. The team members made it known that they were 1, but they had a lot of fun off the court too. Mrs. Hunton, the varsity coach, blowing a bubble. Mrs. Basanez, the assistant coach, gets ready to jump off of her swing. Most of us had played for three years on the varsity team, and we knew what it felt like to lose, too, because we’d been doing that for three years. We never got cocky be- cause we knew that we weren’t un- beatable, we were just pretty awe- some. All of that experience helped us do what we did. Jayme Brown echoes the thoughts of the whole team. It was working together that made them great, not being individ- uals out on the court. Inside the team—some of the things that the volleyball team had to say. THE FUN TIMES All the bus trips .. . meals when we sat down and talked like a family . . . doing everyone’s hair crazy coming home from Wendover . . . the hugs when we took State ... THE GREATEST MOMENTS Taking Zone and State—it seemed like a dream come true . . . winning State—it felt like nothing better could ever happen ... State—we all just hugged forever ... Jen had a one-set and I hit it straight to the ground ... State—the rest of the teams wished they could be as awe- some as we were ... THE MOST TEAM UNITY During our last match at State— everyone was so together .. before the state championship match in the warm-up room ... the things we did together off of the court. . . after our last match as State—you could see the love shine through . . . WHAT THEY WOULD DO DIF- FERENTLY Never lost a game in a match ... been more aggressive at times ... better attitude ... not a lot ... nothing ... absolutely nothing . . . Jennifer Smith and Brittani Kail—the dem- onstration of human pig noses. Student Life 27

Twist and Shout What does it feel like to be a part of a State Championship, to go unde- feated for 27 straight matches, to travel and practice for hours a day, every day, with the same people un- til they become a second family. It is a rare occasion when a high school team achieves as much as this team has done. They reset every team record, finishing the season with a 100% match serve, and a 100% match passing percentage. The 1986-87 volleyball team has left its mark on EHS. Editors note- I would like to thank every member of the 1986-87 volleyball team and Mrs. Hunton and Mrs. Basanez for all of their help. Con- gratulations on the best season you could ever hope for. My best wishes and thoughts were with you, and I appreciated your letting me share in a little part of your season. I hope you’ll be able to see where my time and energy had to go. I missed you. -M Katy Christensen, psyching up before a game? Jennifer Smith sets to the spiking line during warm-ups, while Shannon Mariluch and Krista Kump shag a ball and go back to hit again. Brittani Kail, Jennifer Smith, and Shannon Mariluch twist and shout their way down the slide in the Fallon park. Jennifer Smith and Jayme Brown laughing away the travel time on the long bus rides.

FLASH! DEET DA DEET DA DEET DEET DA DEET Dateline EHS—11:38 am Stomachs grown, ... 11:48 am still growling ... tick ... tick ... 11:59 • • • Nerves tense ... tick ... 12:00 pm. Two more minutes! ... 12:01 ... oh please ... 30 seconds ... 5 ... 4 ... RING! What does it mean? Why, it means freedom, it means opportu- nity, it means a balanced meal in- volving appropriate portions of the Five basic food groups. It means LUNCH! Most boys and girls bee- bop down to Nuke Burger or Cluck n’ Chuck. Bashful George saunters down the hall un- aware of his adoring public. Then they go to the counter and order one of those thingy burgers that weigh virtually an ounce, are an eighth of an inch thick, and almost that big in diameter. The fun part is getting your thingy burgers with katsup, pickles, and tomatoes, and discovering that it has onions, let- tuce, and secret sauce. This sauce is so secret” that it was created in an unsuccessful glue experiment. But, that's lunch. The congested halls at voting time, skillfully controlled by Mrs. Ivie. A typical female locker: all hunks in place. Lunch for Mr. Rossolo at 7-11 means much less than a balanced meal from the look on his face. Hey, what are we standing around here for? It's lunch time!
