l l l Members ot the student body enjoyed dancing and what else was better to do at a Homecoming dance than to dance to the Cotton Eyed Joe. Concentration is the key as Bridget Smith, Knight editor, designs a page tor the yearbook. As editor, Bridget helps decide the book tormat. Another facet of being a Knight was the ability of McCallum students to show their individualism in both school and extra-curricular activities. Students showed their individuality in the way they dressed, talked, and by their different actions. Whether a student wore Calvin Klein jeans or Big Mac overalls, spoke English or Spanish, he was a very serious student or one who joked around a lot, all were encouraged to show their uniqueness from other students. Students could be found in the library or in a classroom, getting extra help from either another student or teacher. School was not the only place that individualism was shown. The choice of work and friends made each student part of the crowd or just an individual. It did not matter at McCallum if a student was a quarterback or a band member, he was still an individual. Trying to win the spirit stick, members ot the band Kathy Panak, Laura Butord, and Caroline Frommhold yell lor the band. As a member ol the band, Gail Gardener concentrates on her tlag as she marches up to the stands at Burger Center belore the Travis game. Opening 5

Showing their pride lor the Knights, seniors Michelle Russell, Andrea Sommerteld, and Cynthia Kaslner along with juniors Joanne Hixson and Carmen Morales bring the Knights in during a lootball pep rally. The Knights had a 6-4 season compared to last years 5-5 season. The remaining qualities that finished the making of a Knight were determination and excellence. These qualities added the finishing touch on an incomplete make-up ot a McCallum Knight. Determination and excellence was seen in the student's achievements and attitudes ot the students. Achievements included the volleyball team in their all-district championship, the Forensic squad in their accomplishments in debate and poetry competitions, and the Junior Classical League in a performance in the Latin Language. These achievements were done with the determination to not only win for the organization, but to win for the name of the school and to show that McCallum Knights could excel, Along with achieving, the Knights had an atmosphere at McCallum that no other school could compare with. Whether it was taking pride in the school, showing responsibility, individuality, determination or excellence, all ot these showed the Emblems ot our Pride. 6 Opening 3' 5 ee if 4 3 As one ot the trombone players, David Kitto soloed tor the band, playing You Make Me So Very Happy while being accompanied by the band.
