IW Kurt Tsumuru STUDENTS WAIT ANXIOUSLY for the pep assembly to begin. The classes were placed into separate groups and then sever- al students were forced to compete against each other in several competitions, with the seniors claiming first place. Darren ima, AT THE PEP assembly, Sr. John Eckert enter- tains the students by act- ing effeminite in order to get the crowd to laugh. Uncommon numbers cont. While the upperclass- men were adjusting to the phys- ical changes of the school, the adapting to the physical and mental changes of switching from a middle school to a high school. Many felt lost, confused and worried. lt's hard to adjust to the large number of people,', said Fr. Carol Stifflear. A change in the school that some students didn't notice was the increase in the number of students crowding the hallways. An uncommon amount of students filtered through the halls during the passing period, making it impossible for some to get to class on time. It seems like the number of people has doubledf' said Sr. Joan Cho. 566 freshmen entered the school to add to the 1,846 sophomores, juniors, and sen- iors. With all the extra students in the school, some students had to double up when it came to lock- ers. 'fl think the locker areas are crowded, espe- cially with the people going to and from classes, stated Soph. Brandi DeBono. Uncommon numbers played a large part in the school. The student council was unusual with approximately 150 students attending the bi-monthly meetings, making it one of the larg- est students councils in the Denver metro area. Sports teams had excellent seasons with large scores. The varsity football team had winning scores of 45-7 CBou1derJ, 48-14 CLitt1etonl, and 28-7 CSmoky Hilll. Girls' varsity volleyball had such scores as 15-0, 15-3 CLittletonD and 15-0, 15-4 fGatewayJ. The boys' varsity soccer has scores of 6-0 CHink1eyJ, and 3-0 CGatewayD. Girls, varsity swimming also had some high win- ning scores. 120-49 CGatewayD, 110-59 tCen- tralj, and second place in the Bear Valley Invita- tional are examples. While the sports teams gained recognition with their records, the boys' gymnastics team had gained national recognition as the number one high school gymnastics team in the nation. Sr. Ryan Hume was number one in the nation on the parallel bars, number two on pommel horse, and number three overall. freshmen were Cpj S111 dll h Rdd l.. 1lN1 Uncommon Numbers 5
