f spirit guaranteed victories, then Overland would have defeated Cherry Creek on October 2. A crowd of spirited fans screams We've got spirit at the game. Bridget Haber lowing bubbles, not plays, is I . Nikki Dardano's wa of Y Y staying successful at softball. A three year standout, Nikki played first base. We're Ter Nothing draws attention like success. The truth of Athletic Director Tony Schenbeck' words were demonstrated in the success of thi athletic program which drew attention from stu dents, parents, and the state of Colorado. At different times during the fall sport season soccer, football, softball, and tennis were ranked ii the top ten ofthe state. Girls' volleyball was rankei ntunber one and the girls' swim team took first ii the Aurora city meet. This success contrasted dra matically from the first few years ofthe schoo1's ex istence when every team lost almost every game. The cheerleaders and pom pons also experi enced success at their respective summer camps ir Colorado Springs. The cheerleaders took the Supe rior Squad Award and the porns brought home thi Unity Award, the Superior Home Routine award and the Superior Trophy. Success was important not only to the athletii department but also to the whole school. Mr. Sch enbeck said, Now We're Winning and kids want tm come to see which gives them more spirit, and than creates a more positive atmosphere in the school. If this was true, then Overland was coming a long way in ten short years. '!!'i'..w9f,i fsuQ'Lf s'f.9-ggi' 'iff' -755 1.. i'f' .

But by Overland's tenth birthday we had some very real accomplishments of which to be proud. Since the school opened in 1978, the enrollment went from 450 freshmen to 2420 freshmen, sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors. The faculty increased from 39 to 156 teachers. Other changes occurred with the building itself. The addition of 13 classrooms, 35 parking spaces, office suites and a cafeteria were also necessary to accommodate the booming growth of the school. But these changes didn't affect the school's influ- ence of students. Principal Joseph Adamo said, Overland's ability to maintain a caring atmos- phere and to pay attention to the individuals in spite of a rapid growth makes Overland unique to most educational institutions. The school drew attention from each of its many areas: from the way the activities relieved tension, the intensity of the sports program, the extended interests of the clubs, the enlightened minds of the academics, to the aperfect tens, the students and staff themselves. lt seemed that Overland was coming a long way in ten short years. Debbi: Ima ruin busters bust the spirit of Cheny Creek even if they don't bust the score of the game itself. A spirited - crowd of Blazers shows its pride even though they lost 33-13. g1 gg?I E'g-gQ 'I3I55ZY55Z52 If 'Z5Z5I'I'?Z'7'Z . . . .,.,.. . . . . . . , ft... ., .......... .. . . . .,t...:. ...f. .et . .Q .. ... .
