Special momenis highlight year Remembering those special moments during high school is not difficult for most. There were dances with that special someone, moments of victory, self- achievement and times of happiness. Students experienced great feelings that they will never forget. High school was a time for growing up, experiencing life and finding out what was ahead for everyone. There was a renewed feeling of pride as students began the new year. Everyone knew this would be a year like no other. Mountain View had never seen such a large number of faculty and student body, and probably never would again. That in itself made the year a special moment. 'SA special moment for me was being on track. We won a couple of gold medals and it made me feel real good. I set my goals and I worked hard to achieve them,', said junior Flyin' high--Junior running back Lance Smith takes a running leap over the goal line to avoid being tackled by Dobson players.

A special display of dedication to the school and friends was when senior tight end Matt Weidl continued to play in the football game against Chandler after he broke his collarbone. Matt was tackled in the third quarter when his collarbone broke, yet he picked up the football and went on to score the winning touchdown. Although every students, courage was not as publicized, every students, triumph affected the school in one way or another. Each person was a stronger individual because of the special moments they encountered in high school.
