W Underclassmen cheer on their teams in the pudding-eating contest held on class competition day. Variety marks activities chool to everyone does not mean just seven classes a day. To a lot of students it means one practice or another. Some students participated in sports, but almost everyone participated in some type of activity at one time during the year. The one activity that almost every student encountered some- time during the year was dances. There was as always a wide variety, from a tourist dance to the dance where students could dress up in their favorite era. Of course there was also Moxp and prom. Plays were abundant: some were dunng school, but the fall play l'The Sting and the spring play 'Guys and Dolls were in the evening so the entire community could enjoy them. For the school musicians there was show choir and jazz band with rehearsals before and after school. There were also clubs after school for different interests, includ- ing FBLA, Honor Society, French Club and Spanish Club. All in all the year was filled with many things to do.

The team had only four seniors, none of whom had much experience, as all ofthe state championship team from the year before had graduat- ed. After a shaky start in league competition, the team started to put the right combinations togeth- er, but they still ended the league season in fifth place. At the district meet, held in Greeley at Aims Community Col- lege on April 12, a team consisting of two sophomores, Robert James and Joel Peterson, junior Julee Felsman and seniors Josh Day and Curtis Kelly put together a fine performance as they placed fourth. This placing automatically qualified the team for the state ' '-'Il-n--1, Competing on the JV level at the Skyline Invitational, Robert James and Joel Peter- son ponder an answer. meet, which was held at Fort Lewis College on May 6-7.
