We were revolving in every direction. But we could make it. You see, we were holding all the aces! We. were too! Each of us was a part of the deck. We all held our own cards. We were capable. By using these capabilities and deal- ing them out, we usually won the game. Some of those wins were personal. We grew in both knowledge and understanding. Julie Brandt broke tradition becoming the first female FFA president as did Joe Neuner when he became the first male FBLA presi- dent. These were private victories. Sometimes the wins came as part of a team. FHA changed the Sadie Hawkins dance theme, designed officer uniforms, began en- counter projects and installed a point system. HHS welcomed a new advisor. The Student Council initiated special interest classes where students learned everything from fly- tying to candy making. Both the Wildcats and Wildkittens struggled to improve their records. We were holding the aces and couldn't lose! Marching with pride, Charles Patterson holds the aces of the band. movie Staying Alive. Bursting with spirit, Stacey Light leads the girls basketball team into a pep assembly. uFar From Over, sets the beat for cheerleader Tiffany Thompson during the half-time routine to the theme from the Opening Section l 3

W tit : itt' esm Was it worth f the gamble? To be part of it all, we were wrapped up, penned up, made up, dressed up and cued up during our school year. For many, making a sneak trip to the tech lounge or being tardy wasn't worth the gam- ble with the new punishment system of all- day detention. People who did take this gam- ble and lost were sent to a room of iisolitary confinement or in students minds 'iprison . The freshmen especially were put through torture. They had to round up their courage to dress up as outhouses and farmers, wives but were all the time looking forward to their days as seniors and the time of revenge. At times we might have been embarrassed, but we can look back at these times and laugh. By taking these gambles, we found that most times we gained rather than lost. We gained friends and confidence in ourselves and many times found opportunities that might not have been opened to us if we hadnit taken that first step. It isn't easy trying to be a farmer's wife as Rob Pearon finds out. Being isolated, Joe Kuster looks over his assignments; having no other choice during his day of in-school detention. 4i Opening Section rm
