There are Iuniors involved in almost every facet of Seaholm life. They participate in all sports, clubs, and committeesg not to mention taking an active part in the responsibilities of leardership. Many people consider the Iunior year to be the most strenuous, yet the class of '82 is fighting back and coming out far ahead. The victory at Field Day was just the beginning. Iuniors worked together, not only to make this year fun and productive, but to assure that next year will be the same. Many college oriented Iuniors checked out colleges and worked very painstakingly to insure their grades would get them into those colleges. Whether or not they are planning on any further education, all Iuniors made this year special. X - IAAW T ll ZIANL. 42? 1.

Sports a Lasting Influence A very important part of Seaholm life is taken by the athletic depart- ment. The great variety of sports pro- vide extracurricular activities for a majority of the student body. A stu- dent can choose from any one of four- teen sports that fits into his or her schedule. Some athletes choose to go out for as many as three sports a year, one 'for each season. The-grueling hours of practice pay off during competition between other schools. The joy of winning places confidence and pride into each of the participants and benefits the team and school as a whole. Along with win- ning, must also come defeat and even though lower spirits are a-result, each athlete and team learns sportsman- ship. Being a graceful loser is just as important as being a winner because it teaches the athletes how to deal with the disappointments as well as the victories that life has to offer. The support that comes from parents, coaches, cheerleaders, and fellow classmates is also a most im- portant part of the sports program at Seaholm. Without fans, the teams would have no one to cheer for them, console them, or congratulate them for a job well done. The experience of participating on a team, benefits the athlete in all areas of life. Participation in sports en- courages determination, dedication, management of time, and the pursuit of perfection, and these are some of the reasons why varsity letter jackets are a common sight at Seaholm. lofi
