Hundt Clubs add to package Service projects benefit school, community •ganizations were a vital part of he deal. Groups such as Key Club and veywanettes worked with each other on ervice projects. Other groups helped the :ommunity in other ways. The school’s :hapter of FHA HERO were honored on he “Gold Honor Roll” for raising $7,000 or the construction ofthe Leadership luilding in Reston, VA. Clubs held beginning-of-the-year nduction parties to help “break the ice” etween students and made the offer more njoyable. Athletics were also a major part of the ffer. Football started off on a high note nth a 7 to 6 victory over Garland. Inderclassmen football and volleyball eld their own and did their best to present the school, although they sually played before nearly empty ands. Groups like B-team football, rodeo id JV soccer made the Skyline deal special because few schools, if any, offered these programs. But, perhaps, the most significant factor of the school package was the people. And as the school had things to offer students, students did their part in contributing to the school. Band and drill team continued to entertain groups at football games and pep assemblies. Spirited groups such as Skylites and cheerleaders promoted unity. Students’ positive interaction and good student-teacher repport made the year move more smoothly. Clubs, athletics, CDC and students were all included in the deal. This was a deal that would never expire and students would get exactly what they “paid” for. And the experience they got would last long after graduation. So, in the end, it was an offer that was very hard to refuse — because this offer allowed students to be a part of the package deal. Opening 5

Student life JVesuming the routines dic- tated by a busy school schedule brought students out of their summer stupors and into the vigorous, time-consuming activities of high school. In spite of the difficulties, each stu- dent experienced now and then, there always seemed to be time to relax and take it easy. School spirit blossomed, increasing participation as well as the number of school sponsored activities. Theme days for football season was a new twist. Catchy slogans such as Tie up the Apaches” and Ambush the Red Raiders” had students wearing ties and bandanas on the respective game days. With increased enrollment and in- creased spirit, students felt that they were a part of what Skyline had to offer. The curricular as well as extracurricular activities both proved that Skyline was a package deal. And more than ever, stu- dents became involved to be a part of that package. I illing time.
