It all began when the junior girls arrived on campus the first day of school to find their lockers decorated with signs, streamers, and balloons. Junior Melisse Campbell commented, I was so surprised. It was really sweet for them to think of us. The anonymous thoughtful gifts continued throughout first semester in the form of flowers and buttons until Big Sis-Lil Sis invitations arrived attached to blue helium balloons, November 20. That same night, the senior girls spent hours of preparation finishing up posters and practicing their skit. Jenny Bell said, It was a lot of fun to do, but a lot of hard work. The next day finally came, along with much anxiety from all the junior and senior girls. Susan Landreneau was caught saying many times during the day, I wonder if my Lil Sisses will be excited when they find out who I am? The school was decorated with posters, and what seemed the longest day yet to the junior girls was thought to never end. One could walk through the hallways and hear the junior girls saying over and over again, I can't wait to sec who my Big Sis is! Finally 3:15 rolled around. The junior girls congregated in the chapel for the skit. It was the actual beginning of what they had waited for for so long. Junior Lisa Allen said, I was so excited I couldn't sit still. The seniors were dressed in their Blue Hawaiian attire and sang revisions of songs like 'True Love and Message-In-A-Bottle. After the skit all the girls moved to the main courtyard. The junior girls were blindfolded and lined up in a straight line. Then when each girl heard her name called, she stepped forward and found out who her Big Sis was. Allison Jones said, One minute I was talking to a friend and the next minute someone grabbed me and blindfolded me. It was totally unexpected. At this moment there were many screams and embraces shared. Following the ceremony there was a reception in the library. Party Pics attended to take pictures, then, at 6:30 there was an Hawaiian Chicken dinner served in honor of the junior girls. After the dinner the girls split up into their groups and went out for the evening. Many new friends were made that night, making Big Sis-Lil Sis a truly successful event. Susannah Rolfs commented, It was fun. We all had a great time. Heather Uauder and Lisa Allen greet early morning bus riders in Lake Sherwood with doughnuts prior to breakfast at Rebecca Rainer's house.

 Worms Came Out Surely everyone must remember this event, for it was not just a one time occasion. To be specific, it was every time it rained. Every rainfall always meant the same thing. The grounds would flood forcing the students to take the sidewalks instead of just cutting across the grass from one building to another. However, students were not the only ones who escaped to the sidewalks. They were accompanied by worms. Big and small, worms always seemed to cover the sidewalks. Some students ignored them, others avoided them, and still others stopped to poke and stare at them. To help keep him company during his long day on the roof. Coach LcBlanc and Coach Hise visit Father Hancock at his temporary desk. Fr. Hancock Sat On The Roof It was a simple promise made in the heat of the excitement of the pep rally. If the EHS football team beat Traf-ton to become District Champs, Father Hancock would spend all day on the roof. That night, the knights won as students cried chants of Put Hancock on the roof! Sure enough, when the buses and cars rolled in on Monday, November 10, the students and faculty stepped onto campus to witness the promise being kept. Clad in a Knights are Winners t-shirt with District Champs written on the back. Father Hancock greeted everyone, and then proceeded to spend the entire day on the roof. This included conducting Chapel from the roof, having lunch brought to him, and even holding his business meetings there. Eighth graders Conic Maddox, Jodie Hargus, and Caroline MacDonncl take time out from their normal activities to closely examine the worms. Remember When 15
