The Pride Is Back Pride is Back, was this r's K minant theme. There are rnctors that contributed to return of school pride and one was the first winning season in many years for the mighty Wild- cats. Everyone was lost in the thrills of winning and pride glowed in the faces of team members, stu- dents, members of the community, and especially Joella Connell, who is a big encourager of pride. The long awaited season sparked many activities at Saks High School. Clubs and individual students were 7 greatly enthused and began work to improve the school and themselves. Active clubs worked diligently to clean-up the school grounds, repaint the parking lot, and pawprints. The improved level of pride also carried over into schoolwork, as students worked hard on their grades. Pride has been a tradition at Saks, but through the efforts of a state-bound football team, led by a new coach. Jay Davis, and a dedicated, caring teacher, Joella Connell, the student body, and the whole community, Wildcat Pride was fully restored. 7
