Kecoughtan ' s champion slaapwritar. Jeff Wade, dozes off in mid-sentence during second lunch. “Threads hold the fabric together . . Just as each thread is vital to holding a piece of fabric together, with- out each person the student body could not exist. The individual was called on to support his own interests, whether they lay in the classroom, at a club meeting, at a sports event, or in a non- school-oriented activity. And just as the group depended on the individual for support, so the individual could rely on his group for support. The two were in- exorably woven together in everyone ' s lives. The cloth could not take form unless all the threads were in their place, and each thread had its own se- parate place in which to fit. Cooperation and participation (or lack of them) proved major factors in determining how the year unraveled, in- cluding everything from float construc- tion and other class projects to working for the election and gathering with friends.

Friends — again these special people were the threads that held together the loosely woven fabric of school. Wherever one was involved, either in or out of school, friends were almost always an in- tegral part of everyday activities. This comradeship existed on all levels; between students and the administration, students in the same class, teachers and pupils, and between coaches and athletes. This camaraderie could be found in all degrees, varying from mere acquaintances to close personal singular relationships to the fun-loving party crowd. The social scene even affected stu- dents during regular school hours. Be- fore school and between classes; mingling and fraternizing took place on the legen- dary Wall. in the bookstore and in the library. Each Warrior, through his reach- ing out for different relationships with his peers, teachers, and classmates, created the tightly woven cloth of friendship that was so much a part of high school.
