Overeasy . Lifestyle is set back, open and carefree School is a bore. You go everyday with 2,400 other kids, take tests, see the same people, sit in the same places... and try to stay out of trou¬ ble and avoid the truant list. Lunch is the same cafeteria food, or with luck a hamburger from McDon¬ ald ' s. “Let ' s ditch sixth hour.” This is school, right? Maybe not, because the Indians have a better idea. Just as the days would seem to drag there would be another tradi¬ tional or not so traditional event ready to take place. Homecoming, Turkey Trot, Thanksgiving vaca¬ tion, Christmas break. Winter For¬ mal, and Prom all added to break up the monotony of the everyday school life. But what about all those days in between these special events, they couldn ' t be considered boring, ex¬ actly. Students made their own fun through friends, jobs, and outside of school activities. Homecoming, one of the biggest and most enjoyed event in the school year, brought a dream come true to senior. Kim Stoeffler as she was crowned queen and senior Mike Laskey reigned as king.

Observing from above activities went on as normal. In spite of the crowded classrooms and in¬ flated lunch costs, along with a new teacher’s contract, the situation worked itself out. There was not a month long vacation at the end of the semester and seniors no longer worried about a delayed graduation. From the eyes of the student body everything was flowing smoothly. The extra-curricular activities were going strong and there was a sense of satisfaction among the students, but the teachers viewed it with an opposing perspective. There was no decision made for a new teachers contract. Even though the teachers had not received their contracts, they were in their class¬ rooms teaching just as planned. All was quiet in the protest department, but the thoughts of the staff were still on their undeveloped, unseen contracts. Despite this, there didn ' t seem to be any other major prob¬ lems we ' d have to face before the year ' s end.
