Ty a nother day starts Stressful situations of students at A. MHS It ' s 6:00 AM. Jo Bio ' s alarm clock blared Bruce Springsteen as he woke from his coma, hit the snooze button and rolled over for another 10 minutes of uninterrupt- ed blissful sleep. At 6:15 he crawled into the shower and slowly the sleep washed away. By 7:05 he was on his way to yet an- other day at Mariner High School. It ' s 2:10 pm. The final bell rings and Jo rushes to the lockeroom to prepare for two and a half hours of basketball. At 5:00 he jumps in his car, stops for a quick Big Mac, and off to work he goes. He re- turns home to 2 hours of pshcyo- logy and geometry, and finally drags himself to bed. To many students this was a repetition of an average week- day. Along with sports, students crammed homework and clubs into their daily schedule that was already too full. All patiently awaited June when at least some of the stress would be relieved. School seemed to be the big- gest consumer of the students time. Aaron Reardon, Jr, com- mented, On some days it seems all I do is sleep, eat, and do schoolwork. Soph. Brian Larson disagreed and added, If you or- ganize your time well there should be enough time for you to go to school and still have a social life! Social life, that was another problem for students. Those who worked had little time for, say, a movie on friday or the dance on Saturday. But after getting used to a busy schedule, students be- came skillful in squeezing in a night on the town at least once a week. -Michelle Laffoon.

I pirit Drives MHS students to the top How was spirit defined? A ghost that lingered and haunted you? An alcoholic liquor? Or would it be what was roaming around MHS? According to senior Mike Addi- cott, Marauder spirit commonly defined is the gift of doing utterly stupid, embarrassing, and nutty things just because you feel like it. There was plenty of that going on. Students jammed into the grandstands for Friday night foot- ball games, blasted out cheers at pep assemblies, and hunted for something crazy to do.

I don ' t see any limits for it yet! There were no limits. Every person had many chances to gain the edge of spirit. Whether it was buying blue and yellow pom-poms, rap- ping at pep rallies, or expecting the best, everyone took control of their own Marauder spirit. As ju- nior Savona Anderson stated, This year ' s spirit ... is the best it ' s ever been! -Tricia Taylor. Spirit 17
