op are Making F lrst Impressions Five-six-seven-eight dance positions echoed through the minds of each Topcat. Tension mounted as the announcer be- gan the music. Thoughts of su- perior ratings raced through their heads as they realized that one mistake could shatter their dream of getting a perfect score. I was surprised and delight- ed to bring home both a trophy and a plaque. I am hoping now the Topcats will get the recog- Qualls senior sa1d. Long hours of practice and sacrifice went into the prepa- ration for the Topcats first com- petition. The first year of the dance team was not easy but the team did their best and in the long run the countless hours of practice paid off. The work was hard and the hours were long but in the end it was all worth it. I wouldnt trade the memories of the times Ive shared Iennifer Winship senior said Eighty teams were represent- ed at the dance meet which in- cluded dancing in the areas of high kick pom-pom novelty prop solos officer line jazz and military. In order to win sweep- stakes a team had to enter three divisions of dance and re- ceive a one on each dance. As a result of a lack of time we felt that a solid superior per- formance on two routines would far outshine a medocre showing on three Mindy Iones senior We were so thrilled to re- ceive a one from all the judges because it meant they over- looked the fact that we are a novice dance team and judged us solely on our dancing tech- niques Stephany Aust senior said.

Whats lnflclc? There were student life, sports, people, and organ- izations - all wonderful parts of school life. There were memories and friends made there that will never be forgotten. On the other side of the coin, there Was also that dreaded academic part. Probably the most unliked part of school. Well, face it, not many teenagers would rather be taking a biology test when they could be at a football game or club event. Really if it is looked at closely, there would have been no student life, organ- I izations, or sports if there were no academics. Academics are the sole reason there is school. In a funny sort of way sports, homecoming, clubs, dances and so much more were all gimmicks to make school seem that much more bear- able. Imagine school without all of that. Because going to school to learn was the real reason for having it. Without academics school would simply be going to classes all day, no breaks for club meetings or pep ralleys. Then it would be off to home, of course home, there is now no after school tra or drama practice. It wot be just home, maybe Wat a little T.V. and eventua do some homework, the st' that there is always tt much of and not enoug time to do it in. Well, the would be plenty of tin now.
