While pondering the answers to a quiz, Scott Bowman plans his strategy for passing the test in the next class. Ambition Rewards If You Persevere REACHING FOR IT ALL. Sounds intimidating and very ambitious, doesn’t it? For the students at PCHS, reaching for it all is synonymous with hard work and dedication. Look at Sandy Collins and the gymnastics team. Hard work and dedication paid off and made them District Champi¬ ons. To carry this a step fur¬ ther, Sandy Collins advanced to state level competition to represent our county. Another example is the fighting spirit of the wrestling team. Taking on a new coach was not an easy adjustment for the team, just as it is difficult for any team to adjust to new coach¬ ing techniques. However, a lit¬ tle patience and understand¬ ing helped to advance several members of that team to state competition. Reaching for it all does not and has not simply involved athletics. Pride and honesty in the pursuit of knowledge has contributed to our common goal. Just this year, we under ¬ took the challenge of arrang¬ ing an academic team (ACE Team) to compete, academi¬ cally, with surrounding schools. Though we did not shut out the opponents, the students involved experienced first-hand, REACHING FOR IT ALL. Most importantly, students have not lost perspective of the world around us. During Christmas, several different clubs donated food, clothing, and gifts to the needy. In addi¬ tion, the ticket sales and mon¬ ey collected in support of the Snowball King and Queen raised over $500 for the Unit¬ ed Way. While the desire to win, the drive to be the best, and the hopes of being number one was always present in the stu¬ dents, hard work and undying always keep them striving, hoping, REACHING FOR IT ALL. Biology poses many questions that can only be answered through reading and research. Kirk Gray and Bonova Pov seek answers to questions that were handed out by their teachers. 2 Opening
