One’s Chosen in the second week of February, four boys and four girls from each class were chosen by their class- mates to be elected class favorities. There was a cer- tain honor to sustain and each recipient had his own way to uphold his position. Kim Coleman, a junior, commented. ‘ I plan to stay the way I am. I love people and I love being nice because I feel great when I get their reaction. To some, there was a special feeling involved. It means that I'm liked by my classmates and that I'm looked up to by them, stated Aimee Lannou, a se- nior. Tien Nguyen, a junior, said. My friends are im- portant to me and to know that they elected me makes it a great honor. The best feeling of all was when you heard your name declared in the morning announcments. Amy Wikert. sophomore, stated. I was excited be- cause I knew it would be fun being one with my friends. There may have been no special task to perform but there was a sensation of self-respect to the school among those who were chosen. Britt Hurst, soph- omore. said, I plan to rep- resent the sophomores as best as I can. I like to lead by example, try to look the best that I can everyday and I always try to wear a smile. 22 . . .

P RIDE Lee’s week p i meality really set in Friday when the regular pep rally time approached. It nearly seemed like old times as the band marched through the halls playing “The Horse,” leading stu- dents to the gym where emotions ran high. Jeff Larson, a senior, comment- ed. “The cheering got so loud I could feel the gym shake from it.” Since this was a “special” occasion, special events were called for. Af- ter Mr. Ronnie Kluch, teacher and former coach, concluded his annual inspi- rational speech with a Beat the L out of R.E.L..” two assistant principals participated in a Pie-in-the- Face spectacle. As each sat atop a ladder with a cheerleader one step below holding a poised pie aimed, the fans were divid- ed into two sides and a spir- it contest to see who could generate the most noise be- gan. In a climactic mo- ment, both Mr. Jackie Crawford and Mr. Richard Miles were splattered squarely in the face as the pandemonium reached a feverous pitch. After the seniors won the spirit stick and closing cer- emonies concluded, all that was left was to remove the posters from the walls and get ready for the game. That night, representa- tives from Sterling's first graduating class met with members of the Good Sportsmanship League to assist with the pre-game activities. Then the game began . . . Almost from the very be- ginning. the Ganders, quite simply, took control and never looked back; the points against the Rangers got higher and higher. Ul- timately the score stopped at 41-14. On reflection. Mr. Ed Wachtel said, It took a lot for these kids to see tra- ditions put to an end and I'm proud to see they kept their spirit and pride up while having compassion for the Lee students.” In the end, it really was Lee’s week.
