These organizations, known to all as school spirit boosters, were busy practicing and sharpening their routines trying to make the up-coming year an exciting one. All the hard work is worth it. It seems like the whole school is behind you when they applaud everytime we play,” said band member Brian Tinnin. Being in such large organizations required them to practice long hours. Getting the routine perfect took hours- even days. “It sometimes takes us days to get a small part of our routine correct but the end result is worth it, said junior Silhouette Laura Gomez. Being a part wasn't the only matte involved. Loving what you did was th main factor. Guitar is my life-1 enjoy nothin better than music. 1 love to listen t music on the radio but playing it is diffe rent. You can really feel the music am be proud of what you’re doing,” sail sophomore band member Jimm; Tucker. O ddie Rose and Jimmy Tucker march to the fast beat of Start me up.

Hal- ford C) tudent life Students time filled with school, friends After a summer filled with jobs, camps, parties, working and relaxing, the student body returned to a new and tougher life. New policies and stricter standards meant added pressures. The scale tip- ped to one side as academics seemed to outweigh extracurricular activities, work and socializing to such a degree that students realized how hard it would be to keep everything in balance. The struggle became a part of their daily existance. Yet, life went on. Stu- dents found ways to express themselves with bright clothes and new hairstyles as a new concept- “radically”- took shape. It was “in” to be different. Though school and jobs weighed heavy, recreational activities did not cease to occur. Parties took place during the year as students also found time to gather at such hangouts as MacDonalds and the Everglade parking lot. Overall, students struggled to maintain their expected grades. They knew life was tough, but they also knew it was not over. Life meant balancing their time between exceeding in their expectations and enjoying their re- wards. ndex-------------------------------------- Guzick story.....16 Radicalilty .....28 Lights Out.......18 Favorite Dance...40 Homecoming.......22 Student Life 7
