We were finally a real high school. As the freshmen became the sophomores and new freshmen arrived, we were now here to stay. Academically, socially, and athletically we proved we could compete with the four year schools around us. We took 14 ribbons at the district science fair, won the JV district title in cross-country, and had the highest percentage of students in the district to consistently stay on the honor roll. Quality and excellence touched all we did. There were new rules, new people, new classes, new teachers and even a new building. The new addition gave us more classrooms, more hall space and more lockers. With only around 600 students, this meant the halls were rarely crowded and most everyone enjoyed the convenience of a top locker. We had facilities, resources, and opportunities that other schools only dreamed about. But they were a reality for us. We were glad to be here to stay — until graduation. ' • .
