MELISSA ; =e Pre ro tebaca ile A : ;, j ohn Ragmussen ADAM support. a a ee ders a que s to the Tee a Monacan’s ‘‘Battle of the Brains’’ team again lost out this year from finishing in first place by a “‘stroke of misfor- tune.’’ As John Rasmussen, a ‘Brain’? team member, put it, “it was a rebuilding year, for last year Monacan lost it’s whole team because of gradu- ating Seniors.”’ This year the team under went a whole new change, it took Mrs. Smith on as the team coach, Adam Nan as team captain (a Junior), Andy West as a team member ( a Junior), Greg Reynolds and John Rasmussen (both Soph- omores). Though the season, Octo- ber through April, is over for the ‘‘Battle of the Brains,’’ John is really looking forward to next year. He said next year Great Potential For Brains Monacan’s team has the po- tential of reaching first place, especially since the team is not losing any of it’s members. In the fast-paced action of “Battle of the Brains’’ compe- tition, one must be able to re- call quickly and have a vast knowledge of trivia, especially of historical trivia since that is what is mainly asked. When asked if he felt intimi- dated by the cameras, people, and the pressure of being a team member, he replied, ‘‘It never really bothered me.’’ He said that as long as he was able to answer the first ques- tion he would be alright. Being a star in his own right, John considers it an honor to be a member of the ‘‘Battle of the Brains’’ team here at Mon- acan. ae Me Laura Leasburg Jenny Lloyd Anne Martin Wanda Leigh Richard Lloyd John Mather Kelley McClain Matthew McClist Andrea Lenhart Michelle Loan Mark Mathers Bruce McCloy Ben Lent Erin Lombardo David Matney John McCluskey Robinne Lightfoot Sonji Long Kevin Mawyer Brian McCormacl Bob Linkonis Jodi Lumpkin Brenda Maxey Terra McDonald Joe Little Carin Lynch Tarnetta Mayfield Brian McGuire Ginny Littlejohn William Marchese Karen McCallister Majorie McLain 178 Sophomores

Dedication is needed to ac- complish much in this world, and to Debbie Wills dedication means swimming. Hard work- outs and early morning prac- tices are usually found in the training to be a swimmer. Deb- bie, a Sophmore this year, practices almost every after- noon in addition to practicing from 4:00 AM to 6:30 AM three times a week. Many people such as Deb- bie fail to recognize and ac- knowledge the amount of time and effort that is put into swim- ming. By lifting weights, eating right, and running, Debbie puts in many hours to help her swimming. Although much hard work and training goes into swimming, the most re- warding part in swimming to Debbie is meeting and com- en 180 Sophomores Spirit of Swimming peting with people. She has met heavy competition statewide as well as interna- tionally. Debbie feels that she has learned what it means to feel responsible through her swimming. It has also given her a sense of self-achieve- ment while she benefits her- self physically and emotional- ly. Most of all, Debbie enjoys working with other swimmers as a team and she feels that they should be recognized. It is easy to see why Debbie isa winner; it is because of her true spirit and dedication to- ward her team. Home Away from Home. The Bran- dermill pool is where Debbie Wills spends long hours practicing.
