Knowledge bowlers slip at state The knowledge bowl team fell from grace during the season. 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. Successfully defending their state championship was a hard order to fill with such a young team. Sponsor Dave Martin tried many combinations of four-mem- ber teams, but he never found the right one as the team slipped from first in class AA, all the way to 16th. .W-f Varsity team members Julee Felsman, Kim Hix, Trent Ricker and Jerod McBride listen to a question at Skyline.

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 clubs included Math Club, Science Club, Spanish Club, French Club, National Honor Soci- ety and Future Business Leaders of America. Once again the Math Club held its 17th annual ski swap in the high school student center. The swap took place on Nov. 16. Future Business Leaders of America continued to be very active throughout the year. The club grew to a very large size of 17 members. Members of FBLA at- tended a leadership conference in the fall and the district conference meet at Aims College in Greeley in late January. National Honor Society induc- ted 12 new members after an exacting selection process. The selection consists of teachers evaluating students on the basis of leadership, community service and the maintenance of a 5.55 grade-point average. National I-Ionor Society's ac- tivities included the annual tap- ping ceremony, blood drives, clean-up weeks and a picnic. Spanish and French Clubs sponsored their ovm annual Christmas parties and both were very active in the Awareness Day, which was held on May 7.
