Our school was classy because we had a lot of spirit and pride. We were also the only school to have a Homecoming parade through our town. That shows we have class. Kellie Lippi, junior I think this school had a lot of class because most people got involved in acti- vities. Everybody was really spirited and they all cared about each other. Laurie Yokota, senior The school was classy because it's so old. It has a lot of character and his- tory. Shanon Bates, junior I think that the way everybody treated each other was classy. There didn't seem to be too many cliques. Heidi Halladay, sophomore Introduction ff ' I, -5 Y' .,, v L ff? 'E f f f e 6' 1' -' Vfilzi '

However, if a closer inspection of alternative meanings was induced, a better understanding might have oc- curred. Classy was most commonly used to describe an individual, a group, or an in- animate object. An individual could be described as classy for the clothes he wore or the car he drove. A group could be identified as having class for the things that it did or the social status it represented. An inanimate object might have been classy for what it might have repre- sented. For instance, jewelry is usually classy because it represents wealth. If all things that were described as classy were all written down, it would most likely be that everything contained on that list would represent wealth in one way or another. However, although Milwaukie High was definitely not known for its great abundance of wealth, it could definitely have been described as having a great deal of class. Junior Jason Gronholm expressed his feelings about this. We may not have always been the best in everything-- meaning overall performances--but we al- ways tried our best, and we never gave up. That showed our great sportsman- ship, and what is better than good sports- manship to show that you've got class?' ' Although classy was typically referred to as elegant or stylish, there was a much deeper sense in the true meaning. Character was a great way to describe the type of class that was found within the doors of the historical building of Mil- waukie High. Character could be ex- pressed in various terms. It seemed that everyone had their own reason why they thought Milwaukie was a classy school. Milwaukie in the Smithsonian-A touch of class is the only way to describe Milwaukie High.
