That’s right! That’s all we need to put together another year. And what a year! We started out as winners in sports with a playoff berth for the Jackpine Conference Champion varsity football team, a regional title for varsity golfers and the first-ever district title for varsity girls basketball. But that’s not all! Academically, we hosted our first Career Day in December with 60 guest lecturers representing 57 different fields. Students listened to their choice of three speakers to get the inside scoop on life after high school. On the more individual side, we got a blast from the past with a revival of Grandma’s clothing styles and the return of our favorite old cartoons. But that was just the beginning. Take a look inside. You’ll laugh, learn and remember. And THAT’S ALL WE NEED! ■ Varsity’s victory over Roscommon, November 1, gave them the Jackpine Conference Championship and a chance at the playoffs.

Junior Vince Brown, accompanied by classmates Marci Low and Sarah Woodwyk, gets in the spirit of Friday's mock rock contest for class officers during the homecoming pep assembly. The juniors hoped that the contest would provide all the points they needed for a third consecutive Spirit Award. However, they finished second to the seniors in the contest as well as in the final tally of points for the award. For more homecoming coverage, see pages 10-15. Photo by Jeff Raymond. OPENING V7-

Their second national convention took yearbook editors to Chicago in November.
