So it seems to members of the Water Rugby Team. The sport known for its rugged play and soak- ing experiences caught on with a splash. Though receiving the Colden Puck from the IAWRTAP flnternational Association of Water Rugby Teams and-Playersj, the team is winless, loss-less, and tie-less. Although we have not yet competed in a match, we are confident that we can continue the unbroken string of championshipsf, said co- captains Todd Griffith and Mark Neikirk. 4 9.0, , , i ,y ,ir rl i 4 4' ' X4 .5 y 1 ' , 1' J 4, , l , rm t f 5 , ,H , f, 'Qw , f' , ,ww 7 W Hockey Have no fear.

Announcements concerning col- lege visitors, student awards, and accomplishments were posted weekly. New letters for front sign The Student Council, in an attempt to beautify the campus, bought new letters and attached them to the sign in front of school. The neat block letters could easily be read by the passers-by. Student Council buys new curtains New red curtains, donated by the Student Council, accented assembly programs as well as music and drama performances. The deep red velvet lent elegance to the audito- rium. At the end of school every day, buses awaited students and a jour- ney home. But one bus, on Thursday after- noons, was special. Titled an activity bus, it took stu- dents to certain bus stops to go home after club meetings. New faces, new structures and new ideas produced results no one will ever forget. -
