Bringing It All Back Remember back when the year started, seeing all the old and new faces. But for those who were starting there first year here, they weren’t seeing many old faces. The Freshman are the majority of the new students. They start off the year with a nervous feeling about school but gradually get used to it. “I like this school a lot better than my old school, you’re treated more like an adult,” said Jon Lomshek, Atchison, Freshman, ‘‘I wasn’t really too nervous about being around the upperclassmen because my older brother is a senior.” Other than Freshman and new students, the others who are new here would be the faculty. Maijr Hill started the year with 7 new faculty members and the Academy had 4 added to their list of teachers. These new faculty were imme- diately flushed with roomsful of unfa- miliar faces looking to them for guid- ance. The teacher then usually spends the first week trying to learn names. Eric Boll, the new Government teacher, said, “Teaching was a new experience for me, I was pretty nervous at first wondering how it would go. I really like this school though, things worked out fine.” Making sure his tie is strait, Matt Flynn checks himself over before getting his picture taken. The mirror is a very popular item on this particular day. Angie Dickason shows her class spirit by going under for an apple. The apple bobbing contest was an added attraction to the spirit week games this year. The Maur Hill Cheerleaders get the crowd rowdy at the Homecoming game. Although the Jr. Havens played well they were defeated 22-15. 2 0pening Section

Dan Moriarty, one of the surprise speakers at the first pep rally speaks on the origin of team spirit. He was followed by Dan Bowen who gave instructions on how to express team spirit. For those who were not new many changes were to be seen. Such as, the art room getting a new location, or the paint jobs in some of the rooms. “I was really glad to see the changes around school, otherwise school would get more boring than it already is,” said Tom Senecal Atchison, Senior. Still some things remain the same. There are still many traditions that we follow here. Traditions such as initiation, the bonfire, and the spirit week festivi- ties. This year can be remembered for the fact that many of the Spirit Week Waiting for the next game to start the crowd sits on the edge of their seats with anticipa- tion. The tennis court games were easily won by the seniors this year. Gary Hood, representing the Juniors, goes head-to-head with Dan Bowen, a senior. The tricycle race is one of the more popular of the tennis court games. Rob Munson shows his artistic talent on the Freshman spirit sign. Al- though it was a good attempt the Freshman came in last place. Cheering for the senior girls, powder puff cheerleaders Mike Lutz and Greg Herman show their class spirit. Volleyball was played instead of football this year on account of the weather. traditions were not carried out on ac- count of the weather. Probably the most disapointing thing was the fact that the bonfire was not burned after the pep rally. Mike McConnell, Atchison, Sopho- more, said, “I was depressed when I found out we couldn’t burn the bonfire. We worked really hard to get it ready for the pep rally and then we couldn’t set it Opening Section 3
