r Student Life . . . Some of us dressed up like Grecian gods wrapped in flowing sheets and crowned with a halo of leaves on toga day” to express our school pride during Spirit Week. Others of us strutted our stuff all the way to the stage where we received the Senior Superlative award for Best Dancer during the senior assembly. Then again, another group of us stood shakily on the risers in our high heels and formal gowns dripping with ribbons and lace trying to force back the tears as we sang Old Irish Blessing for our last time at the Spring Concert. No matter what we did. we never heeded to act well our part whether we gained recognition for a job well done, or forced ourselves to regain our composure after putting our foot in our mouth, we never stopped striving to be the best we could be. Everyone played a different role in generating school spirit. Some students chose to literally ham it up in the spotlight by becoming involved in the fall play, while others found satisfaction in temporarily getting hitched with their true love at the Sadie Hawkins dance. Despite how we chose to express ourselves, we found what we did best, and did our best with it! 6 Student Life

Take a Bow A Ithough we welcomed many fine ad- ditions to our school, we also had to say good bye to some of our privileges. One privilege we missed this year was open lunch on exam days. Due to state regula- tions. this year we dined in the school and savored the cafeteria cuisine instead. Sophomore Debbi Dierker stated. I really missed open lunch. It used to break up the day. Now finals seem to last forever. Also because of state requirements, seniors had some other disappointments to contend with. No longer would they be able to cut a school day short to work at a job or attend a college class. They had to attend school for the entire school day. They also could not get out a week early at the end of the year as past senior classes had. They had to go the whole year and have final exams at the same time the rest of the school did. Another difficulty we encountered was a blackout. When the electricity went out one day in December, many classes found themselves in complete darkness. The ad- ministration began to roam the halls with their trusty flashlights instructing and in- forming students and faculty as to what to do. and we complied. TV2 also came out to cover the blackout expecting to find chaos, but found just the opposite. Everyone was calm and handling matters in a mature manner. Freshman Mary En- sor remarked. It was great how everyone cooperated during the electricity failure. And it was fun trying to make it through the halls without running into a wall. Although we experienced many dif- ficulties and disappointments throughout the year, we still held our heads high. We did what we could to make things better and what we couldn't, we grinned and beared. We all did our part, and we all deserved a round of applause. In their own little world. Senior John Archer and Sophomore Kim Vance chat quietly to themselves as they share a slow dance together at the Christmas dance. Showing their flare for flourescent fashions. Juniors Tammy Smith and Sarah Fuller take a mo- ment between classes to catch up on the latest gossip. Opening
