ompetition — it surrounds us everyday in every way. Itisa struggle to do our best and to be the best that we can be. Here, we have no problem facing competition, in fact, we take it in stride. Competition is a trial of skill and ability against another, a striving for superiority. We are ready to take the time to prepare and to endure the struggle in order to be fierce competitors — within ourselves, our community, our minds, our groups and our leagues. Our inner spirit shines through every activity, game, concert and play. Our pride is seen at student council dances, where the dance floor is always crowded and at games, especially homecoming, when we gather to support and celebrate each other. At band competitions and concerts, as well as theater performances, our unique artistic abilities are at their best. Determination is our middle name. We have the ability to surpass and the commitment to make it happen. We succeed with pride and lose with grace because we know that as long as we try our best, we always are triumphant. We have our school motto which expresses commitment to sanctity, scholarship and sportsmanship — in short, we have a commitment to excellence. Currently, the world has seen many great forms of competition on a large scale. It has experienced the long, hard struggle of the presidential election, which inspires determination in all. The entire world watched the Olympic games in Seoul, Korea and witnessed the intense discipline and dedication of the athletes and their coaches. Now, we experience the twenty-fifth graduating class of a school whose fundamental principles will never change. We have begun another chapter of our history rightly called ‘striving for the top’. For us, the top is right around the corner. Competing within and without — that’s what it’s all about. Coming around the home stretch is Michael Atwood. An invaluable member of the Cross country team, he is competing for the pride of his team and school! Up! Up! and away! The majorettes and colorguard throw up a twirl for spirit. These dedicated young students worked long, hard hours to make their field show the best. Theme Opening oA

e work hard, we play hard. We take our fun as seriously as our work. Here, we have a spirited student body that works together to make our special times such a success, as much commitment goes into the prom, homecoming, concerts, plays as into academics, activities and athletics. A great deal of time is put into every function—the time to perfect every detail, to go that extra mile, to continue the tradition of a caring, sharing and involved student body. In our rise to the top, there “Once I set goals for myself everything I have to do seems to fall into place.” — Jennifer Bingle “Juggling my activities takes a lot of patience! If I take my time and plan it out, I find I can do everything.” — Joanne Gervais Awaiting the deadline with baited breath, Dawn Sousa and Aileen Conway work diligently on stories for the yearbook. They’re making sure that all of the stories are perfect before going to print. pe Life are often pressures from ourselves as well as others, yet there are rewards from both. The encouragement we give to, and receive from, each other is tremendous. We are our own competitors—to be the best of the greatest is a common desire among all. Yet we are always there to support each other when needed. A helping hand is often extended before it is even asked for. When others think of us asa whole, they think spirit—a six UR TIMES Co MPE TING W117 HIN letter word so dominant in our community. Our enthusiasm brings us together asa family—working, playing and supporting each other with care. We have succeeded in our struggle to maintain a balance with schoolwork, jobs and our active social lives. Indeed, if life is what one makes of it, we have made it a continuous success—competing within and without. STUDENT LIFE
