Students were striving hard. They excelled in classes, set goals for sports teams, and put forth efforts in clubs in order to help the school or community. Involvement in school functions was im- portant to most, even though they looked at them differently. Freshmen, unsure of them- selves and new to high school, worked to prove their enthusiasm. They saw the impor- tance of class work, joined various clubs, and went out for sports from the first of the year. Sophomores and juniors were more confident. They were for the most part, al- ready established in their chosen sport or extra-curricular activities. They saw changes in their grades as work amounts increased and usually became harder. Seniors had made it! They were finally the leaders. They uveabg of Th gm. took on challenges of new activities and finished four year commitments. Through- out the entire year they looked toward graduation while they earned their final credits. In academics higher standards were set and more demands made. However, most students eventually adjusted. There was a higher enrollment in advanced placement CAPJ classes by upper classmen than in pre- vious years. This showed the dedication of the students to 'their education because harder classes meant more efforts. Sports teams worked to accomplish goals they set for themselves early in the year. Their high aspirations brought them to vic- tories and helped them through defeats. The football team over the course of two years showed a marked improvement from no wins to a much improved season. Clubs and organizations came through strong with new challenges for the school through sponsored programs. The Fellow- ship of Christian Athletes started the FCA Bear spaces. With this each group signed up for some specific area and took on the task of redecorating it in order to improve the look of the school building. Cash prizes were awarded to the clubs having done the best work. The 1986-87 year, in all areas, was defi- nitely a winner. And now it's time for Bear- ing it all and telling how it was.
