The Torch The torch is lighted and the President says, Let the games begin. The crowd rises to its feet in wild excitement as a roaring cheer goes up. Thunderous applause rings throughout the stadium. Thus begins the Wacky Olympics. In keeping with the great spirit and tradition of the Olympics, Student Council presented the Wacky Olympics. Mrs. Eloise Alexander, the Student Council sponsor explained, . A lot of work went into these games . . . Student Council thought that since Olympic fever was in the air the games would be appropriate, so they went to work to make the games happen. The aim of the Wacky Olympics was fun. Olympic athlete O.J. Jones felt this goal was met. He expressed this in saying, It was a heck of a lot of fun. Kristen Bergstrem agreed and said, It was such a trip to see all of us out on the field making fools out of ourselves.

Third Wave - The Future 3.11-1 4 'fic' Was Career Day worth the effort? Mrs. Marty Oakhill responded, It was time well spent. Assigned to the project by Ms. Marilyn Koon, Mrs. Marty Oakhill assembled 42 speakers by polling the students on what occupations interested them the most. Based on recommendations from her personal contacts, Mrs. Oakhill sent letters inviting community people to participate. I wanted the speakers to be enthusiastic. If they're not, how are they going to make the students feel the same way, Mrs. Oakhill explained. Kim Miskoweic thought Career Day was interesting but unfortunately didn't get the occupation classes she wanted. Karen Kirby said that Career Day was worth it. She particularly liked the secretarial class which helped her decide what job she'd like to train for. She said, with a slight grin on her face, I wish it could have lasted a day instead of half a day. Mary Karam Guilty or not guilty!
