Letting Out Some Steam . . . Student Activities This year ' s student body was more active than ever. Hopefully some new traditions and standards were set this year for vari- ous class activities events were scheduled ranging from the tra- ditional jeans day to the wild Cavalier Games. Various classes or- ganized fund-raisers to earn money. The sophomores sponsored Casino Night to bring out the gambler in all of us. The Seniors Free Spirits Are Always Oppressed By Mediocre Minds. — Einstein Mary Lindsay, head chee leader, helped to raise tt spirit of the Cavaliers. probably did the most, frantically trying to afford a trip to Florida and a gift for the school. Everyone sup- ported that by making the bake sales, turkey raffles, concessions and the Fashion Show a success. Next year will bring a rash of new ideas; but until then we can only remember the old events. Especially Jon in a tuxedo. Mike Powell et al compete during the Cavalier games.

Canterbury Journalism Or What Happens After Four Strikes? Well, this is it, Canterbury ' s yearly publication. It ' s new. It ' s fresh. It looks a little different. Still, it ' s the same old story. The Untitled Paper, inc. keeps on get- ting better. The middle school started Unless, and Excalibur is, well . . . still the same old story. One of the most exciting changes that occurred this year was the facelift that The Untitled Paper, inc. received. Of course the paper was good to start with, but the added graphics and the new logo were a great success. Allison Gray and Anne Hayhurst did a fantastic job of producing a excellent publica- tion. So, what else is new? Unless, the new middle school publication, released its first is- sues this year. Looking a little like The Untitled Paper, inc.. Un- less, is a respectable venture for our middle school. Under the leadership of Susie Hayhurst and Penny Rieke, the paper was able to shine some light on what it is like to be at Canterbury middle school. Now here ' s the funny stuff. Excalibur, just the name brings a chuckle from most of the staff. Collecting a year full of events in a school that spans from pre- school to high school (some say even longer) and two separate campuses is not an easy job. That is our excuse for it coming out so late every year. In reali- ty, the reason that the book is not awaiting the student body when they return from summer vacation is because we are sim- ply unorganized. Who could blame us? Well, everyone does, but we take our criticism with a grain of salt, and then we make the same mistakes over again. Why? Because, we ' re just a group of kids who get together when we can and attempt to create something respectable, well, maybe not respectable, but at least worthwhile. We are the same group of kids who did it last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and the first year. You ' d think we ' d be better at it, don ' t you? So did we. We ' re an optimistic bunch. Every year it is the same old story, extensive planning, pro- crastination, extensive replan- ning, dealing with Peter and Bear, (procrastination), more planning, and then (as most ol ' us graduated) finally a little progress. By that time, we had lost our fourth advisor in a row most of our staff, but, never, ouM pride. We nobly take responsi- bility for everything in th€ book. We have to. We are tht first and the last rung on the ladder. Excalibur is a yearbool for the students, and by the stu- dents. Everything is our fault Every fault is our accomplish- ment. That ' s another reason why we chose Everything as our theme. Everything is sim- ply the same old wonderful story. To those surviving members of the staff, good luck next year Thanks to those who have pui up with us so long. And thanki to everyone who made Excalibu. both a fun and terrible experi ence for us all. So what happens after yoi get four strikes? Ask Anne She ' s in charge now. David Andrew P.S. The Dr. Bill Bovermai awards are on page 135.
