Knock yourself out Jump, shout, knock yourself out! We Bulldogs never held back when it came to school spirit. Screaming, yelling, pounding feet and clapping -the sound rang in your ears. Since we werent allowed to make noise in class we let the ecstatic build-up be released in assem- blies and class activities. Stu- dents of all sizes shapes colors and makes would knock them- selves out just to participate in noon-time activities. We'll never forget the time Steve Lopez spent 10 minutes with his face in a pan of whipped cream search- ing for a piece of bubble gum while some knew it was never there to begin with. We thank people like Steve who were nev- er too proud to participate and represent their class. Bulldogs! We salute you and a fine year of school spirit. Messy, messy! Steve Lopez got a little bit of whipped cream on his face during a mad search for a hidden piece of bubble gum. We all fall down! Students, young 84 old, take a tumble after forming a snake- chain during a noon-time activity. fl- .. - X. s f t ,gggtte y ..t,A .....t. s
