Years Of The Effort Put Into Sports Is Worth Every Minute Of It Anyone who, for any reason whatsoever, has been involved in a sport realizes the dedication and hard work it requires. At Dieruff the athletic department- the coaches, all the trainers, the managers, and most importantly, the athletes themselves all put forth an outstanding effort to make the Husky teams the best that they could possibly be. While each individual team's record may not have been perfect, the fact that each of the team members did his or her best and tried his hardest certainly made all of the teams winners! The players not only gained experience in their chosen sports, but they made friends, and learned to work well together, on a team. The feeling of accomplishment might very well have made ev- THE HUSKIES ARE READY FOR ACTION Dieruff's freshman football team is ready to take some serious action against the gridders of Northampton during an exciting game this year.

The gruelling practices, the painful injuries, the intense competition, and obviously, losing a game, meet, or match were only some of the hard parts to learn from. Sometimes it was incredibly dif- ficult to pick up after a fall and just keep on going. But even though the hard times were terrible, the good times were terrific. Scoring the winning points, or helping someone who did. Beating the team that every- one, even you, was sure you were going to lose to.

Lots And Lots Of Effort Is A Major Part Of High School Obviously the most empha- sized part of high school is achievement. Usually academic achievement, but also any kind of personal achievement in gen- eral. These accomplishments in- clude setting goals and then try- ing our very best to fulfill them: goals such as making District Band, winning a scholarship to an art school, participating in the Model United Nations at Mora- vian, and attending a Governor's School during the summer. Achievement applies to the things that give us that terrific feeling inside, like studying su- perhard for an exam and getting the best grade in the class! It's the things that make us proud of ourselves such as making honor roll and being a member of the National Honor Society. It's those pats on the back we need to keep our spirits up, like getting BOOKWORMS? Senior Dwayne Jones takes some homework advice from accom- plished scholar Bill Hess (At least, that's what they explained to their teacher, and who wouldn't believe these two angel faces?) an Outstanding rating in a band competition after months of hard work. It's the pride we feel, belonging to an organization such as the Student Council, The Allentown Council of Youth, and the Stu- dent forum. It's the terrific feel- ing you get when someone recog- nizes you for the work you've done, as in the case of the dedi- cated LEADER staff. Achieving your goals is being a member of the award-winning Varsity cheerleading squad, or getting the straight A's on that report card you've been praying for! Achievement is an important part of life in general. Not nece- sarily whether or not you actual- ly accomplish your goals but the fact that you set goals for your- self and worked towards them. This is an achievement in itself! NEVER TOO BUSY TO SMILE! Junior Dale Doc-' Dougherty breaks for a moment from his art project to flash a dazzling smile at the camera. No doubt this award-winning artist will achieve his goals! Years Of A MANS PLACE IS WHERE??? Pro- spective chef Nick Snyder keeps a steady hand while measuring the ingredients for a scrumptious recipe he created in an enjoyable but very practical cooking class.
