THE BEST OF TIMES The Best of Times described the year In general. The Seniors were excited about their last year of high school. Getting ready for the working world, the Juniors were eagerly looking for part-time jobs. The thought of getting their licenses was excit- ing for the Sophomore class. The Freshmen were experienc- ing their first year of senior high sports competition. Trying to learn to adapt to high school life, the Junior High did quite well. With all this going on, It gave the year a lot of excitement and fun-filled times. Above: All this work knocks me out, says Jeff Tarzwell.

AN UNUSUAL YEAR This year was full of excitement and fun. The happiest times were spent with friends. The year showed people that we could excel with the young athletic teams we had. Teachers along with the stu- dents were excited about the way all of the teams were on their way to success. We got oft to a good start with the Varsity Football Team winning the NCTL championship. We missed the playoffs by 1 8 of a point. Our Girls' Varsity Bas- ketball Team went all the way to the semi-finals. The Varsity Boys’ Basketball Team gave a surprise to ev- eryone. They won their first district title In 12 years. The school board gave everyone something to look forward to—that was getting out of school at the end of May. It gave everyone hope and some- thing to work towards. Then students got a surprise that no one was expecting. It just happened to be one of the most unusual winters. We had two major winter storms. One was on January 21-24, which gave us time off. Then we no sooner recovered from the first storm, and we were hit again. This time was a bit longer, February 12-19. The time we had off for snow days were spent snowmobiling and riding sleds. It also gave everyone time to catch up on their sleep and their favorite television shows. The worst thing about the snow days was the thought of making them all up In the summer. How depressing! However, In actuality we made up 11 days, 5 on Eas- ter break and the other 6 at the end of the year. As almost everyone said, It was a very unusual year!
