The academic achievements of the student body were outstanding enough to raise some eyebrows. National Merit Scholarship semi-Hnalists included Beth Whalen, Richard Sincovec, Tor Aarested, Tae- Sik Kim, and Kirsten Carter. An average of 7776 of all Overland students went on to a two or four year college. which was significantly higher than the national average, about 3546. The faculty was drawing as much attention as the students. Mrs. Jean Klanica was one of three final- ists from the state for the Presidential Award for outstanding teaching in the math category. Eng- lish teacher Ms. Terry Lyons was named by the Uni- versity of Colorado as one of five outstanding edu- cators in the state. Overland publications also received praise from the community. The 1987 Trail earned a Medalist rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion. The Scout received a Medalist rating from CSPA and All American from the National Scholas- tic Press Association. The band department, not always thought of as academic, excelled in its own way. The Marching Scots were selected to fill one of the 12 spots in the 1988 Rose Bowl Parade of about 400 bands that applied. They also took second place in their league at C.U. Band Day, placing in a competiton for the first time. With all of these accomplishments, Overland had definitely come a long way in ten short years. ock 'n roll from three 1-ive bands rocks the audito- rium.

kelie Macy N Letting off steam. Students felt this need at many times . The activities program provided a fun, social way of relieving tension. These activities quickly built into traditons that stu- dents and community grew to love and expect. Activities Director Ron Castagna said, There are not just one or two people getting involved in the activities, but everyone is jumping in and doing something. This was a trend that took time to establish but one that made for a diverse blend of activities. Homecoming activities attracted record at- tendances. About 750 attended the dance and Air Band was sold out within 24 hours after the tickets went on sale. The popularity of Air Band made it one of the fastest growing and most unique Overland traditions. The Marching Scots, cheerleaders, two horses, vintage automobiles, and ten floats made up the Homecoming parade. For the first time it also included an entry by the band parents to congratulate their kids on taking the second place award at C.U. Band Day. People who had grown accustomed to seeing the procession watched it from Prairie Middle School, Village East Elementary, Ponderosa Elementary, and their homes . Castagna said, When we have the largest number of floats in the school's history going through the neigh- borhoods, the community pays attention? Other activities like the blood drive and the Winterfest celebration were on their way to becoming traditions as well. Overland had established strong traditions in ten short years.
