Do It We I. ..- Others Don’t Do It At A This year has been a re- warding year for me and hopefully for all at Lynden High School. We have seen outstanding accomplish- ments in the academic areas. We have successfully institut- ed curricular revisions- which have resulted in a more com- plete education for our graduates. We should also note the national and inter- national scope of our educa- tional endeavors with our educational trips to Mexico, Washington D.C. and Ha- Wadi. Extra-curricular activities have followed in the Lynden High School tradition of ex- cellence. Championships in various sports with increased number of participants have been recorded this year. Musical activities have also maintained the level of excel- lence to which we have be- come accustomed. . Truly this has been a year to be Lion proud.

She completed the year by finishing eighth at the state meet in Spokane. The girls team finished third in the county and fifth at district. The boys were led by sophmore Jeff VanKleeck who placed fifth at the county league meet and thirteenth at district. The boys put in some solid runs during the season while taking fourth place at the county meet and sixth at district. The 1985 Volleyball season was a very suc- cessful one. Led by 7 Seniors, the Lady Lions were 7-3 in league and 10-4 overall. They also took second place along with Blaine. The Dis- trict Tournament was held here at LHS. The lions finished fourth, unable to continue onto State. The Lady Lions also held their own tour- nament this year. The Lions shared the first place spot with the Pioneers in this tourna- ment. They also traveled to South Whidbey for a tournament in which they won their first game and lost the next two. Kenna Johnson was named first team all county while Kristin Boyd and Kerri Clark were picked second team. Kelly Dykstra received Honorable Mention. Team awards for the Lions were Most Valuable; Kenna Johnson, Most Improved; Tami Holt, and Most Inspira- tional; Kelly Dykstra and Cary Jansen. The Lady Lions had a very enjoyable season. The Seniors will be missed, but there is great poten- tial for the future in Volleyball at LHS. [YNory VARSITY: TOP TO BOTTOM, L TO R.

GIRLS BASKETBALL This was a year of many positive accom- | plishments for the Lynden Lions girl’s bas- : ketball program. The team qualified for dis- trict play for the third year in a row and placed fifth overall. Turnouts were com- petitive, the girls worked hard and had the attitude of wanting to improve each day. An old saying, “Get the piano off your back,” we did by beating Lynden Christian for the first time in eleven years. We willlose : two seniors that have earned a varsity let- | ter all four years, whom have proved to be valuable in experience and leadership, Kris- j tin Boyd and Kim VanderHaak.
