Left Durango-less The knowledge bowl team capped off a less-than-eventful season when it failed to qualify for the state meet at the districts. Team member Robby James magnanimously said, 'll don't re- ally enjoy the trip to Durango any- way, it's too long. Dave Martin, the activity's sponsor, felt that if the whole team had been able to compete in every meet, then the team would have had a much more successful, highly respectable season. But, all of the core members had numer- ous other commitments as well that conflicted with the Saturday meets and the lunch practices. The highlight of the season was the second-place finish at the team's ovm meet in Estes. The JV also earned a third-place finish at Valley. For the second year the team competed in the Knowledge Mas- ter Open. They earned average scores amidst an abundance of bad auk jokes during the three- hour, computer-administered test. The irreverent and klepto- maniac attitudes prevalent among the team members provided tales ofairplanes on wires, cows without legs and trips back into foreign schools to return souvenirs taken from the premises.

There is usually some actixd- ty going on before or after school at some time of the year for everyone. To some students after- school hours were spent at sports practices of one kind or the other. To others free time was spent on some of the many extra-cunicular activities the school has to offer. Clubs such as Spanish Club, French Club and Math 'Lim e5 YU Club gave students the op- portunity to continue their special interests. The dances were few but full, with students having fun. Dances from dedication to l'Walk Like an Egyptian dances. Also, the traditional homecoming, Morp and prom were held. The plays that entertain- ed us were Tom Jones and Anything Goes. Throughout the year it seemed as though everyone was able to find something to do with his spare time be- cause of all of the activities.

FBLA also made two field trips. One was very early in the year to the University of Colorado, and another one was to Denver. Members of this club visited the Mint and Channel 9 studios.
