Our athletes knew as much defeat as victory, but never did they fail to give all they had 4 Oper ng At the beginning of what we knew would be a long climb, we set goals high with every intention of reaching them. We experienced the agony of defeat, the de- pression brought by low marks, and the anguish of too much to do and not enough time. But through determination we read all the newspapers for government panel, finished the book just in time to write a report, and had time to see the girls’ bas- ketball teams beat Brookeville. Yes, the good times did prevail! Assembling a collage in art class, Mrs. Weinert and Andrea Campbell stop for a moment and smile for the photographer

Spirit was high for the Gretna game and classes showed their support by entering the cheerleaders’ banner contest.
