The Winter Olympics did not go as well as the Unit- ed States had hoped for but the Summer games look promising. Watson and Oppegard lilted the spint of the U.S. by win- ning our country's first medal, a bronze. There is a growing coniroversy oi toy guns. Innocent children playing have been shot and killed by police officers mistaking the toy gun for a real one. The State legislature is attempting to illega- lize the manufacturing and selling of toy guns that slightly resemble a real one in the hopes of saving the children's lives.

Photo by Mike West The Saint athletes played a large roll in this year's school memories. The girls' defending cross country and swimming teams again took the title of MHAL champion. Volleyball team also took MHAL. Wendy Kohler sums up the season by saying Our sea- son was great. We have come really close the last few years to taking league, and this year we finally did it. Academically, the Saints have also been a power that will remain in the minds of many students. This year, the Academic Decath- lon team took second place in the competition. This is the first year that a team, not from Palo Alto was able to place in the top two. However, when asked what the single thing was that would leave undying memories in the minds of the students, the overwhelming choice was not just one game, but the whole football season. The Saints, beating arch-rival, Oak Grove, insured the league cham- pionship. The Saints won all play- off games, bringing them to the CCS championship game. Al- though the Saints did not pull off a victory that night, their entire sea- son will remain in the minds of the entire school. By Laura Geer QiJ unning with C w1 the group.
