To an insider, though, one word is likely to come to mind immediate- ly. That word is “Action.” Like never before, students took an active role in attempting to improve both the re- creational and the educational aspects of the school. By meeting with the administra- tion in informal ‘rap sessions,’ Lancers were able to communicate their hopes and expectations to the administration.

Seniors were granted two new privi- ledges: a senior parking lot and a senior picnic. The Donkey Basketball game and the basketball game against WRVO were organized at the prompting of the students to earn money for the school as a whole.
