Best years of your life. That’s what many people say about their high school years. Even if you disagree, they will remain with you as memories for your lifetime. Many years from now you will look back on high school and you will laugh at the good times and the bad times that you survived. Remember the times you cheated in Algebra or ditched school? Remember when you ran home from school to beat your parents to the poor work notices? What about the time when you dropped your lunch tray and everybody turned around and laughed at you? These are some of the things you may have experienced. Many athletes will remember the practices after school, or before school and having to get out of bed before the sun rises and swimming until you feel like your arms will fall off. Some endure after school practices when everybody else goes home to study for that 200 point calculus test tomorrow. Surely the cheerleaders won ' t forget the icicles that formed on their legs at the football games that were ten degrees below zero. But those outfits look so cute, even if their knees are knocking together. Have you ever wondered about the student who got all of those A’s? Many of us don ' t have the drive to study that hard, but; wouldn’t you just love to bring home that report card with straight A s just once? High school for some students is one big joke. Having a fun time is the main idea for most of them. Hopefully, they will learn a little along the way. But the majority of students are average.” These are the people who work a little and goof off a little but still seem to make it in the end. But most of all, you ' ll probably look back and remember your teachers, the good and the bad. These are the people who have taught you to go for your dreams, whatever they may be. These are the beginning of the many golden days of your life. Make the best of them. -4-Golden Days

Showing Off School Spirit Seeing a guy dressed as a girl or visa versa, you might think the students going to GHS were weird. That’s only their way of showing school spirit. Spirit Week is a time to show school support and build up enthusiasm for Friday ' s game. Spirit Week is a fun time. It ' s a time for students to let go and also show school spirit, says junior Beth Carpenter. The students dress differently every day of the week. Monday students wore either their shirts or pants backwards or inside out, or both. Tuesday was hat and sunglasses day. Students showed spirit by dressing nice on Wednesday, which was Dress-Up Day. A double show of spirit was shown on Thursday. During school, students wore costumes, at night they showed it by coming to Activities Night. At Activities Night it ' s neat to see how many people show up and to spend time with friends, said junior Ruth Obermeyer. Then the big day arrived, Black and Gold Day and the game were on Friday. This was the day when the student body showed most of their spirit, with over 80 percent of the student body dressed in black and gold. The senior class had shown the most spirit during the week, the juniors placed second, followed by the sophomores. I think the seniors showed really great spirit, said senior class president Chris Gall. Also, I ' m glad students did their part by pitching in and dressing up on these days. We ' re Number One! The senior class cheers on other class members during the battle of the classes on Activities Night. A Sinful Saint. Junior Bryan Barus shows his spirit as well as his legs and poses as an expectant mother nun. -6-Spirit Week
