f 1 X 5 . X Students Are Creatures of Habit Rise and shine! Time to wake up, shower, shampoo, and then off the school. Recognize this? Yes, the daily Monday through Friday routine. English, first, geometry, second: Spanish, thirdg history, fourthp and then off to lunch where students have time to take a break and catch up on the latest gossip since this was the only time of day dedicated to total relaxation. I feel like a robot do- ing the same thing day after day, I can't wait for seventh hour to end each day, said sophomore Lucy Brown. Everyday goes by faster, I have more time to sleep because I do things more efficiently in the I flaw. morning before school, commented sen- ior Jill Hurt. But student life isn't THAT boring, is it? NO WAY!! There are clubs to join, activit- ies to participate in and sports to play or watch. Every day before school the band can be seen and heard marching in the parking lot while the Thunderettes enter- tain students as they practice their routines in the commons. Even on week- ends, there is volleyball, football, and basketball practice. The gym is alive with dedicated athletes working hard to perfect their skills. lt's fun staying after 9 ,, .FS school to practice cheerleading and decorating the commons with all of my friends, said senior Ann Enzolera. Student life is full of ups and downs, friendships, and fun, all of which prepare us for the real world. The road to gradua- tion full of experiences which will never be forgotten. The journey is long but cherished, and these warm memories will be taken with everyone when they choose the path they will take after they graduate.

HS Q Student LHe This is a very large building, and upon my first observations of it, it is one of the most beautiful in the territory. There are a great deal of natives running through this building. After I stopped one of them, he told me that this building is a school, a place where they learn the things they need to know in order to become better people. To these young natives, this school is called Bellevue West High School. These young natives dress very differently and call themselves students. They also wear their hair differently. No two young natives are alike, which is kind of inter- esting. They all act alike, though, because they seem to enjoy having fun. Their fun consists of passing periods, lunch period, dances, pep rallies, parties and school breaks. There is another group here, they are older natives, and they seem to be in control of the young natives. According to their chief, the principal, these older natives are called teachers, and their job is to make sure the young natives learn how to act like the older natives. They really appear to be in control. The school itself has quite an atmos- phere. The carfeteria is where the stu- dents eat, and there are perhaps, thou- sands of chairs. Lunch period is quite a ritual with these students. The commons is a different story. A mo- bile of birds hangs from the ceiling. There are two flights of stairs going up to a second level. The whole atmosphere here is comfort, like a mother who wraps her arms around you. lt's amazing to me that a building which houses 900 young natives could have such a homey atmosphere, one that makes the students enjoy their time here.

erm 1 A LaRose by any other name is still a LaRose. Bellevue West is number one!! exclaimed Chad Davis, Craig Danielowicz, Gray Shuller, Jason Arm- strong, Doug Matheson, and Doug Bryan. Minnie gets a workout!!! Ric Baldwin and Susan Ellerbroek pretend to read The Crucible in Mrs. Pietsch's class. One quick turn of the head and what we've got is an embarrassing moment for Gary Chism, Brent Armstrong, Jill Hurt, and Jonathon Robinson. Our sneaky photographers catch Kevin Chick and the always smiling Eric Hill by surprise during class. The last few minutes of marketing class are all laughs for Sonja Huff and Wendy Mott. Showing us their spirit are three energetic cheerlead- ers Missy Colladay, Alicia Krueger, and Jenna Brown.
