Walk Around Walk around registration was back by popular demand and was favorably received by most stu- dents, teachers and even some administrators and all but a few parents. You certainly can ' t blame the walk-around procedure when all the seventh peri- od classes are full and there are still 200 students looking for a seventh period. Of course, walk around does have a few drawbacks. For example, it requires a lot of standing in line, finding the right teachers, and many times when a particular class period is full, you need to start all over again. But those who followed directions by preparing three alternative schedules before they arrived, had less trouble than those who walked in cold. Which was more beneficial for you, walk around registration or computer registration? Walk around, you can talk with the teachers. — Rhonda Miano; Walk around, its more trust worthy and you get to meet people and teachers. — Michele Nelson; Computer because you don ' t have to go walking around in the crowds. — Estherbelle Lac- banes; Walk around, you get to see the teachers and sort of get an idea of how they teach. — Stacy Schooley.

xcitement was the word during each sporting event, for the first time in three years this included a wrestling team-, and for the first time ever, a girls ' soccer team. From the ever popular Friday night foot- ball game to the thrill of a close ten- nis match, sports were a distinct part of the school year. Our teams not only showed a desire to learn and to excel, but also the strong urge TO WIN. The action was fast, the seconds were tense, and the results, more often than not, were reward- ing. But, where have all our coaches gone? In the past few years, all high schools have seen a drastic de- crease in on staff coaches and dif- ficulty attracting off campus coaches. There are many reasons for this decrease. But, whatever the reasons, it will be the student ath- letes who will suffer. Coaches who do remain loyal to their sport have I I 1 to contend with many different ob- stacles. A high school coach is not moti- vated due to the high paying sala- ry that is offered. If that were the sole attraction, the average high school would be coachless. In addi- tion to the low pay, coaches must contend with low respect, com- plaints from parents of stars, lack of dedication among would be ath- letes, and the threat of law suits. They just can ' t win for losing. All of these reasons are slowly making the high school coach an endangered species. And the ultimate loser will be the high school athlete. We ' re thankful for our coaches and our athletes. They gave us ex- citement to watch and cheer for. We were glad to have them at our school, just as glad as we all were to be here.

Keeping a close eye on the far end of the court are basketball coaches, Dahl and Phillips. They flew her to Australia last sum- mer to keep score because Mrs. Phillips gets so much practice at homel
