Among the glitter and the gold, the lives of the rich and famous were led to the Canterbury School ' s Annual Spring Formal. Our dance was located at the classy Embassy Theater which was shaking with the music of A B Sound. Top: Bear and Nick, what are you smiling at? Middle: Rumor has it, Branden was on time to the Prom, but with Cynde looking as glamourous as ever, who would blame him? Right: Don ' t Suz and Shaun make a cute couple. Roll with it.

Canterbury Speech: No Longer The Underdog! Overheard at speech meet this year; Whenever one hears high school students give speeches like these, no one need fear for the future of America. Indeed, Canterbury students involved with speech are ever analyzing America socially and politically. Whether it is an original oratory advising one to be himself, a poetry speech criticizing war, or a foreign policy, competitive forensics allows a student to speak out on issues which are concerns of his. Each speaker creates his own style, adds a touch of personality, and with a little insanity, rises early each Saturday morning from October to April to challenge his peers. After only two years, Canterbury has developed an excellent speech program. With the leadership of Dennis Eller and Gerry Nagel, the team has made a name for itself in the speech community. Last year, no one knew what Canterbury was, or much the less, even cared. After this year, speech coaches and students are all too familiar with the words, I ' m from Canterbury. Canterbury has become the competition rather than fighting it. The team placed very well during the regular season. Entering ten meets, Canterbury was in the top ten nine times. The team continued to establish its foundation as a prominent competitor when it hosted its own meet in February. Both the middle school and the high school campuses were used to house the 500 students from around northern Indiana who came to compete. As the season continued into March a resounding theme began to develop: We are a team. Not only did the twenty-two members finally feel united but we began to feel the effects of our talents as a group. We were the team to beat in northeastern Indiana. The theme was evident from early in the day until the end of the tournament, from the time we took a bus instead of three or four cars to the time we became Sectional champions. Senior David Andrew won humor with three first places and led the team to its David Habecker, a staunch supporter and charter member of the team, is livi proof of what getting up every Saturday at five in the morning can do to youi brain.
