DIFFERENT this year was the beginning of Toga Day in the lead-up activities for Homecoming. The week before the Homecoming football game students dressed to differ- ent themes to show school spirit and to generate support for a winning Homecoming game. Senior Robert Riley and other Noble Romans roamed the halls of Cardinal the day before the game itself. A DIFFERENCE facing Cardinal and all Iowa schools is the shortage of teacher coaches. This year Cardinal's volleyball and girls' basketball assis- tant coach was Ms. Lisa Northup. Ms. Northup is not on staff at Cardinal, but she works as a substitute teacher for the Pekin schools. Football also involved a non-certified teacher as Mr. Dave Huffman worked as an as- sistant football coach. A DIFFERENCE in extracurricular activities was the initiation of a Christmas Dance. Radio station K.OTM 97.7 FM from Ottumwa spon- sored the dance and furnished the DJ, Scott Hughes, and the music. This dif- ference was brought about at the re- quest of students for more school dances. Held on December 20, the dance the upcoming winter school break.

A LtfJJk, Diffoitok . . A noted DIFFERENCE this year was the participation in the male dominated sport of wrestling by Freshmen Lisa Randall. Lisa weighed in at 105 and was the first girl in Car- dinal history to wrestle. Lisa's in- volvement in wrestling came about because of Lisa's determination to succeed over the objections of people who heard of her interest. On the practical side of being DIF- FERENT, the high school itself is un- dergoing recanstrution. Modern Builders, Inc. from Waverly, Iowa was hired to redo the roof of the new addi- tion of the high school. Begun the first week of December the project was scheduled to be completed by the end of January. The cost of the roof project was approximately $66,000. As Cardinal's sports program continues to grow and change, the DIFFERENCE included the birth of a new sport. Volleyball was started to replace fall softball. The sport of volleyball allows Cardinal to compete more actir- ely in their new conference. Involvement in the Southeast Iowa Conference this year replaces Cardinal's noninvol- vement in the disbanded Black Hawk Conference and ends four years of Cardinal's sport program not partici- pating in conference play. Eagerly accepted the volleyball program involved over thirty girls. A little different MAKES the difference. Each year of school seems to blend into the one before and after as students and teach- ers get involved in the activity of learning. Many times there appears to be nothing new or “exciting. However as the year is reviewed, the 1986-87 school year had many differences that made it both ungue and memorable. Some of these differences appear silly and unimportant ; some are noticeable to us at the time or even seemed unworthy of our notice. All, however, have a role in making our school. Cardinal High School. Someone once said we are changed by everything that touches us. In years to come, these differences will help to form the nucleus for the memories that make our high school years the years they were. A winning football game, an A or an English theme, or a frustrating math prob- lem all help to form the adult that leaves Cardinal High and rentures out into a new and challenging world.
