Seniors got ready to face the true to life world that lay ahead, yet still had to work out a few problems, such as pro- crastination, and even had time to leave ad- vice to underclassmen in the Dear Senior feature. They also took a good look at life beyond graduation and life long friends. As far as pride was concerned, it devel- oped quickly in incoming Freshmen who were re- sponsive to the transition from middle to high school. They also talked about their small incon- veniences known as pet peeves that can always be a true problem in life. : Friends ’til the end.

On the other side of the coin, across from Academics was student life. The True to Life per- sonalities of students came out in Dare to be Different, while other stu- dents expressed them- selves by their modes of transportation. Photog- raphers entered some student’s private lives and captured their true ways Of living in the bed- room story. When it came to showing their true selves, there were no complaints from the many students who ex- pressed their views. Participation played a major role in the club scene. Three new clubs formed, including MC2, the Nature Backpacking club, and the Butterballl Club, which tackled the very large and true fo life delimma of weight loss. These and many more participated in several schoolwide activities such as the Homecoming Spirit Boards contest, in which FHA was the win- ner, and the SCA spon- sored a Spring Carnival, wihch saw clubs create a variety of activities on the football field for fun- draising purposes. Keyettes with it’s em- phasis on service to the community walked away with Club-of-the- Year. As always, success and a winning season were sought by all sports teams. In the Fall, the Varsity Football squad gave the student body a huge moral builder with a defeat over Lloyd C. Bird. This victory sent out a bigger than life message that Monarch pride was there to stay. Boys’ Varsi- ty Basketball completed the year standing 4th in the district, while Girls’ In- door Track won their dis- trict meet. Spring saw a trio to the regionals and true success for the Girls’ Varsity Softball team, while the biggest victory for the newly formed Girls’ Soccer Team was it’s enthusiasm and ex- traordinary amount of participants. The many successes and high points led to a true to life sense of pride in the sports department.

suppose that academics is we? We never actually make a ® connection between our lives and academics. But there is a connec- tion. Our academic standing shows a part of ourselves — which § most of us would rather leave un- known. But it is undoubtedly a part of us. Big deal. In the following pages, there is a side of academics we don’t hear too much about — or hear enough about. There’s photogra- phy, where the students of that class have certainly attempted to the real part of school. But i most of us hate it, don't @ m express their own identities through self-portraits. And Peer § Facilitators, composed of students | mm who have helped other students | f discover their own selves by listen- } ee ing to their problems and acting as a sort of “sounding board” from which ideas could be bounced off | of. Our school also had a great me number of academic achieve- ments including the highest num- § ber of award winners in the county fi in the Young Author's Contest. ji fm Winner's included Mike Steger, @ Dale Tucker, Sandy Adkins, Shone § Dickerson, and Lori Lohr. Also the Hard work, cre-} ativity, and deter- mination were what it took to} achieve aca- demic success. Write Now Contest with winners Monica Hudgins, Jen Lofquist, and Dawn Rebuen. And we can’t forget the Work Program and the students at the Tech Student Center, who are true in pursuing their job skills and technical skill application. So even if you hate academics — and even | pretty much do — Ri look through the next few pages. @ Our school has had many achievements and accomplish- ments in academics and there are a lot of people finding their own § true identity and helping others to do the same through academics.
