I’d save the memory of our spring musical. When you work so long and hard on a project, you can’t help but to grow closer to the cast and crew. Both share the panic and frustration of the ominous opening night and incredible exhileration when the final curtain falls. By working with those people, I’ve gained new friendships and strengthened the old ones. — Bryan Holmes, freshman will always remember the second time the basketball team played Galva. We not only beat them, but also broke their perfect record. That game had to be the best of the season because everyone was “up” for the game. We went out to win, and we did. — Jeff Todd, senior don't Kovcil-donlujontlt- The memory I would like to save would be the night of Prom. It was so much fun! The hypnotist and her volunteers were so funny and the band was great!! — Sharon Malcolm, junior I would save the memory of the 4th hour writing class and our in-depth conversations because I got the chance to get to know my fellow seniors. These times gave me a chance to make new friends and memories that I can save forever. I think it’s a good way to end my high school years being close to the people who have shared a lot of my life. — Traci Marquith, senior Opening Section 3

I've often wished I could save time in a bottle, and even though it is impossible, I will always have those memories of special times and fun times kept inside. This year has been a very enjoyable one with it’s share of good points and bad points, but I hope that each one of you will find one of your very special moments enclosed within this book. To help you out, I’ve asked a few people to share their special times with us and hopefully, it’ll help you to remember some of the best times of your life. Joyce E. Almquist 2 Opening Section

The memory I would like to save would be when the Jazz Band played for the Victoria Talent Show. Everybody relaxed, “messed around” — had a general all-around great time, and we still played the best we ever had. Each year I think our Jazz Band gets better and this year, probably since I was a senior, it really meant a lot to me. I thought we were very close as a group. Over all, I think I would always like to remember that night at Victoria and I think everyone who was there will also remember it as a really fun time. — Shelley Snyder, senior The one special event of the school year that I would like to save was the colorguard performance during halftime of the Galva vs. ROVA basketball game. It really feels great to be out in front of all those people and know that you are doing a great job. It was also nice to receive a standing ovation from the Galva side before getting one from our side. — Michelle Cottingham, freshman I will always remember the community service that the student council performed this year. When they painted and drew a mural on the side of the Lawson Electric building in Oneida. It really shows they care about the welfare of the community. Also, I will remember the four senior cookie monsters (namely Marty, Carolyn, John, and Joyce) who were in my Accounting II class. — Mrs. Cain 4 Openmg Section
