S Sr. Joey Manfre and Jr. Kirk Wilson inform Sr. Tom Riester on information to give their caller. Throughout the year at Gateway, we gave our best in everything we attempt- ed, we were proud and spirited, we went for the gold! During the pep assemblies, we showed our spirit. At home games we came to support our team and cheer them on to victory. Our cheerleaders and Water Buf- faloes followed the teams around the state as they strove to climb to the top. The clubs at Gateway this year grew bigger with more members, continued support, and exciting activities. New clubs were reorganized such as the Pep and Ski clubs. Our clubs won state recog- nition and many awards at various com- petitions. Newly added intramural sports proved a great success as Football, Volleyball, and Basketball kept us occupied after school. Many school associated teams competed against each other, and they fought hard during the championships. These sports had boys, girls, and co-ed teams, so there was something for every- one. Of course, our education was in- creased. Classes became smaller due to the loss of students by the opening of Rangeview. New faculty were welcomed in and soon became familiar with the ways of Gateway. Our new pep assembly schedules, half days, and days off pro- vided well deserved breaks. ln school activites and special pro- grams provided us with everything we needed to have fun. The bands kept us entertained at various events, and gave us music. The performances put on by the theatre department let us expand our knowledge of the world and ourselvs. Ev- ery month we awaited the latest issue of the Medallion, so we could read the newest happenings at Gateway.

.lla i I .i1 Ccontinued from page 2433 Our classes bonded together when the issue of losing our school mascot came up. We stayed together and with the help of the media coverage kept our school mascot and name. The olympic commit- tee felt we were hurting no one by using it, and generously allowed us to keep it until I986. As the year went on, our schedules be- came more crowed with many activities such as the Renaissancre Festival, the Olympics, the Prom, Senior week, and all the activities associated with the end of school. Towards the middle of May we slowed down and realized this had been a great and fast year. lt seemed like just last week we were frolicking in the leaves and bundling up for Friday night football games. The Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors looked forward to the upcoming summer, and then to the new school year, already planning on being the very best. The Seniors kept busy with the Com- mencement and Baccularete plans, and all their crazy Senior activites. They were anxious for graduation, but regretted leaving behind all their friends, and the school that they grew to love and stand up for in times of trouble. They would never again have to try and cram their books, coats, gym clothes,and what ever else would fit into the tiny lockers. They would never again have to sit in an open classroom and be disrupted by other classes and the latest action going on out in the halls. Finally, they would never again have to hear someone say May l see your pass? Ccontinued on page 2465 Sr. Todd Jaquith shows off his costume for the Annual Slob Contest , Closing 245
