CHALLENGES TO MEET ME This year Canterbury students took on the competition in a wide variety of areas. In the I.S.S.M.A. contest on the local level, C.H.S. students did very well with five superior ratings (equivalent to a first place). Austin Birch and Chad Mead received awards in the vocal category, Allison Snyder for harp, Tyler Reimschisel for trombone, and Mary Lindsay, Sarah Grotrian, and Julie Dawes for the flute choir. At the state level, Austin Birch and Allison Snyder continued their display of excel- lence with superiors in their respective categories. The Foreign Language Festival, held at IPFW, was just as successful. Robin Merick and David Habecker played their way into first place in the French Scrabble competition as did Pfenne Can- trell and Lars Knelling in the level three Spanish competition. Laura Cross and Tarini Ramaprakash finished third in the level two category as did Alli- son Gray and Kelly Jenkins in level one. Anne Hay- hurst received a third with her French essay and Alex Mann toppled giants with his first in the Latin vocabulary competition. At the History Day contest, held at Purdue, Anne Hayhurst received a first for her historical paper on civil rights. Tarini Ramaprakash got a second in the individual presentation category and Tiffany Stevens received a special award from the Armed Forces (ROTG). For the third time in three years, Canterbury sent a student to the International Science Fair. Jonathan Beams was this years representative in the computer science di ision. Jonathan won an all expense paid trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico (the loca- tion of the International competition) where he and Mr. Franklin lived it up for a week on the beach. Also on the regional level Chad Mead received a first in the engineering division. Canterbury had three National Merit Scholars this year. Molly Ginty, Andy Reiger and David Caseldine were the first winners of this award from the school. Molly also won a first in Purdue ' s annual English Writing Contest for her essay on Dante ' s Inferno. Finally, as the year wore down, Ben Cole won a national essay contest in the Parade Magazine which got him a ten day trip to Switzerland. During his stay, Ben saw all of the sights and acted as a good will ambassador from the U.S.A.

NFL: NOT FOOTBALL It all began on early Saturday morning in late October. A blood-sun pulled heavily through the dawn, dragging with it the sandy-eyed team, stum- bling dreamily onto the grounds of Plymouth High School. The first real NFL meet, C.H.S. against the big boys. No, it wasn ' t Canterbury ' s first profes- sional football game. It was the emergence of yet another first for C.H.S., a speech team. Under the leadership of veteran coach Dennis Filer, Canterbury made quite a splash in the speech ocean. Filer, who claims to be more infamous than notorious, came to C.H.S. from a successful program at New Haven High School. At the first meet mentioned above, Canterbury s small team of ten won two first place ribbons individually and as a team placed in the top ten among such giants as South Side (as well as all of the other city schools) and Plymouth. As the first year went on, Canterbury earned top ten status in five of its eight seasonal meets. Most of the team members then made it through sect ionals and onto the regional competition. From there, Tyler Reimschisel and Ben Cole went on to the state finals. Although the team had no luck there, many team members earned NFL degree status (fifth degree being the highest). Chad Mead, Tiffany Stevans, Ben Cole and Brandon Miller received their first degree recognition. Austin Birch and Tyler Reimschisel got their second degrees and David Andrew achieved his third. In all, it was a highly successful year for such a new and extraordinarily small team. With the addi- tion of yet another infamous coach from Dekalb High School to an already excellent coaching staff, team members predict an even more colorful dis- play in the coming year.
