For the first time in | n all rivalries there exists a drive and determination to become the best. Tension builds between Catty and Northamp-. ton each year as we try to prove ourselves. In order to alleviate the tension between Catty and NHS, a breakfast was held for the two schools. The gathering was to get to know each other, but for some, it wasn’t taken seriously. “I didn’t feel it was very successful. We sat on one side of the cafeteria and they sat on the other,” stated cheerleader Colleen Moran. On the other hand, the administration thought it was a good idea. ‘‘I think it went over rather well. For the most part, they were polite and we were very receptive.” said Principal Frank Kovacs. The rival game of the year would not be complete without the pep rally. The faculty doubted its success which almost prevented the tradition. To prove the staff wrong, many changes were made to make it better. Marty Fella I WORDS OF WISDOM.
