1937-19388: a year not to forget | By Christen Unick A year not to forget has just been experienced by the students and faculty. To forget the joys and sorrows of this year would be a mistake. But when the 1987-1988 school year is remembered, something different will come to each person’s mind. Some will remember the fantastic sports events. They will remember the football team’s uplifting wins over Sedro Woolley and Burlington and the agonizing loss to the Bellingham Red Raiders. They will remember the mile-long winning streak of the volleball team. Girls’ soccer players won’t be forgotten for their valiant effort and the way they worked hard at every practice even after many losses. thers will recall the teachers and administrators.

Sjudents and faculty won’t forget the school spirit expressed at the pep assemblies and the enthusiasm shown by the cheerleading squad who received “‘excellent” and “‘superior” ratings at cheer camp.

Students and faculty won’t forget the national excellence award that was proudly accepted this year in Washington, D.C., by Mr. Farrell. Many won’t forget the ASB officers, classroom representatives, club officers, and team captains who used their leadership skills to make the school a better place. Many of these leaders took time out of their summer to set up monthly themes, activities, and then came up with ways to accomplish these activities at the annual leadership camp at Fort Warden State Park in Port Townsend. es, the year has been a great one. . . and don’t you forget it!
