Lee Week 33 G 4 20 4 0 4 2M40 “It was different partying with our rivals.” “This year our hall was sad. Kim Moseley, a senior, said. At first I was scared my poster arty would be a flop ut all of the sudden. 1 looked up and there everyone was, she added. Unlike Kim's party, most other senior poster parties weren’t well attended. Dana Barrett, a senior cheer- leader. exclaimed. “No one came to decorate and it showed. We lost! Besides poster par- ties. other activities ex- tending past the 3 o’clock bell were ap- preciation parties thrown for football players by the Booster Club and a 93Q radio station-sponsored pizza party November 6 at Upper Crust, the unof- ficial post-game hangout. Alternating maroon and blue streamers decorated the pizza parlor, sym- bolizing a type of unity between the two schools. It was dif- ferent partying with our rivals. exclaimed Jules Celestine. a senior. But it was nice too. getting along with Lee the night before the massacre. The next morning at the pep rally. Mr. Ron- nie Kluch, former foot- ball coach, gave his yearly, emotional speech to the football team. At the conclusion of his presentation the student body stood and began chanting. We want Lee!

 7lt ‘7 was 45 minutes late ... School is made up of the ordinary things. You get up. go to school, do what you need to do after school, then go home. However, sometimes the ordinary turns into the extraor- dinary. whether your ride is late picking you up for school, you run out of gas. or have to fix a flat tire. Well, there’s a lot of speculation as to why 1 jumped into the swimming pool. A bet. a dare, whatever stirs your coffee. Well, here's what happened, said Patrick Lancer Collins about why he jumped into the swimming pool December 19. the Friday before the Holidays began. My friend, Ted Cole, was sitting on the high dive bouncing. Everyone was yelling jump'' repeatedly to him and. well he got down . .. Some students had their days messed up when they found their car with a flat tire or that it wouldn’t start. Jeanna Williams stated. “One day. on the way home from school, the brakes went out and we hit a stop sign!” ... They were a bit disap- pointed. Lancer continued. Next thing 1 know, I’m standing up there checking the weather and all. Some- one dared me ... and I jumped. At first it was a rather speedy feeling, but just as I hit the water, it slowed, almost to slow mo- tion. As 1 entered the water, my body began to curl; yes. there was a bit of pain in- volved, and 1 was collecting my bearings. Still other students had a damper put on their day when they were late to school. Tommy Gregg said. “I was late to school because I overslept.” Sharon Cochran added. My car ran out of gas on Garth Road one morning so 1 miss- ed first period! .. .1 had almost no air so I had trouble getting to the surface (plus, with wet clothes, it wasn’t easy), but after that, everything was simple. Rain also altered students everyday schedule. Karina Gooch stated. 1 was 45 minutes late to school because it was raining and we had to stop for a wreck.” On an equally wet day. Teri Miller added. I slipped in a puddle one morning before school and had to go home to change. It felt great! Lancer concluded. 22 Extraordinary Times
