Discovering that big brothers are good for something, Kerri Blackwell receives help from Keith Blackwell. Doing our Best When recognized for our efforts, we, the student body, could not help but beam. However, our pride stood out even more so when things did not go as we wished. During the time when the football team lost or the band did not come in first, or any other disappointment, we pulled together and cheered each other up. For us, it was not the winning or the losing, it was the knowledge of everyone doing the very best job possible. And as we all learned, it was this feeling of pride and togetherness that made us number one. So who cared if the other schools called us “snobs”? They were just jealous of all we had to be proud of at the Fort. Realizing his mistake, Charles Draper hopes that Mr William Craig doesn ' t catch it. Getting ail tangled up, Chevelle Alston realizes it takes more coordina¬ tion than she thought to jump rope Opening 7

This kind of dedication to a school requires a certain special spirit, a pride in one’s self and his school, to sur¬ vive the long hours. 8 Features This same pride spilled over into all the other activities that made up a student’s life. No matter what we did to relieve the pressures, massive parties on Saturday or a quiet break in the smoking lounge, the pride taken in our ac¬ tions made them all special events to remember. Pride and spirit come together in a student ' s life. J
