The Seniors will remember this year, of course, because of graduation. The Freshman will remember it because they can’t remember any other time when they were treated more like dirt. So this 85-86 school year is a year to remember. Not for any specific reason, but for many reasons. In this book are some of them. That’s the reason behind the book, to bring the year back to you. “I think this year is going good, everyone has got spirit this year. With a few exceptions like Spirit Week getting rained out, I think this year will turn out just fine,” said Meagan Zimmerman, Whicita, Kansas, Junior.

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.

Boarders find they have ample time to study in the dorms. c+aient Life School Generates Activities The life of a student is filled with many events. Seen by some to be the most important is school, while others claim that weekends are the most important. School is, by far, the biggest event in our life as a student, but the students need other things besides school to keep them busy. The school offers many activities that we participate in after school. After a hard day in classes, many people top off their day by going to football practice, or to a Student Council meeting, or maybe rehearsing the latest production of the M M players. But what a lot of students look forward to is the time they spend away from school. For boarders, weekends are a chance they get to spend some time at home. If they stay here in Atchison they go out with friends to enjoy a night away from the dorms. When the weather is nice, day hops and boarders like to spend a day in the sun at one of the local parks. No matter what we do in or out of school, students cherish their social life and enjoy the activities school generates.
