Oh! What A Feeling.. Y When The Feeling Comes Around. Feeling is believing and believing in ourselves is feeling a sense of accomplishment in any- thing we do. Volleyball has been one of the strong points and highlights of SHS for the past 17 years. What went on behind the scenes and the feelings that were expressed were memo- ries which will last a lifetime. The volleyball teams shared many experiences that they will never forget. Every team has its originals and Safford was no exception. Senior Frank Armijo was named Honorary Team Member of the state champion team. Apparently, Mr. Armijo practiced with the girls everyday. He wasted no time falling down and getting back up again only to find himself tangled in the net. He also spent the entire season trying to learn how to do a volleyball roll. He never succeed- ed. How many lady teams can say they had a male member? Safford stands alone again. A tradition that has been a part of the state championship for years is that all the girls, excluding coaches and managers, meet in a room at the hotel and sit in a big circle and hold hands. Each girl then had a turn to share her feelings about the season. These feelings were expressed only once a year and when the feel- ing came around it needed to be shared with everyone.
