Remembering Do you remember the time you splashed through every mud pud- dle trying to get to class on time, and the days you went through all that pain and torture for cheer tryouts just to learn you did not make it? Remember the first long dress you wore, and as you walked out the door, a tiny hint of a tear was in your mother’s eye? On the day of graduation, you realized that all the hard work and frustration had paid off, and that from now on your life would be different. David Lloyd George said, ‘The final measure of a man is not what he has gained, but what he has done.’”’ Graduation was exciting, but very crowded!

Bottom: At the end of the day, the juniors still had some energy left. Right: Barry Wray Knew the hazards of football as Jeff Taylor patiently fixes his leg. Some people never gave up hope. Dawn Flora watched the game even if no one else did. We gave all the enthusiasm we could muster up in pep rallies. Cheering for our class, we tried to beat the other classes in order to get a few more points for a field day in April. Slightly hoarse at Friday night’s game, we chanted ‘“‘We’re proud of our team.”’ Even when victory was out of eyesight, there were always those who never gave up. Cheering was a part of the day we looked forward to. It was a time when we could let our emo- tions run wild-and get by with it. A time when everyone, Freshmen to Seniors, united as something special — a school who ts proud of their team.
