True DSdiC31ZiOl1 Juniors put forth efforts to improve class M uch time and effort went into be- ing a leader in the school. This was true of junior leaders, too. I enjoy doing things as a class leader, Randy Fecher, junior class president, said. Although being a leader was demanding, it could also be very rewarding, according to Randy. When I see things happening in the junior class, and members of it being leaders in academics, athletics, and extra-curricular ac- tivities, it makes me feel very proud, he expalined. Another leader in Junior Council was Bret Hood, vice-president. I wanted to become vice-president because I wanted to assume a leadership role and have a part in making decisions in what happens in the junior class, he said. Student Council was another area in which juniors were leaders. Lisa Wofford, junior representative to Student Council, commented, Being on Student Council was definitely worthwhile this year. It was an honor to say I was on Student Council because of the school's accomplishments. One other area in which juniors ex- celled was academics. The leaders in this area were Randy Fecher and Jeff Cochran. . -an 'lg ,js -5 4 E T 1- Team work is the key for vice-president Bret Hood and President Randy Fecher as they conduct a Junior Council meeting.

Athletic Action Juniors Survive in Senior Sports J uniors who played in such senior- dominated sports as football and basketball were in a struggle to survive. Not that all that struggling didn't pay off. For Doug Wyatt, Brady Paddock. Grizzle, Stephen Guest, Gordy Hagemeier, Debbie Haile, Charles Hall, Laura Hamilton, Dena Harden, Rod Harmon, Janet Harp, Stephanie Harper, Sloane Harris, Allen Harris, Brent Hartfield, Eleanor Hartness, Jeff Harwood, Kyle Hatchett, Kim Haver, Lea Anne Hawthorne, Barry Hayes, Kyle Hayes, Stephanie Hern, Sherry Hiller, Page Hines, Jo Janna Hodges, Arden Holden, Annette Hood, Bret Hubbard, Charlotte Huie, Terry Hulsey, Brian Humphrey, David Hurlocker, Michelle Ingram, Jimmy Jacobs, Patrick Janes, Nick Jenkins, David Jester, Dee Jetton, Mike Johnson, Cyndi Johnson, Ellen Johnson, Sandra Jones, Kristie Jordan, Sheri Juel, Ed Karr, Stephanie Kennon, Kris Kilgore, Danette Kilgore, Tina Kimbrough, Kevin Richard Shewmaker, and Mark Van Herpen, the struggling has paid off. Football is tough when you're competing against seniors, explain- ed Doug Wyatt, but it's one of the most important things in my life right now, so I keep pushing myself harder and harder. This drive, above all else, gave these four athletes a place in two sports that had little sympathy for age. Sure, there's some competition between seniors and the juniors, explained Richard Shewmaker of both the football and basketball team. But they don't treat us any worse, because we're a team, and team can't be successful if everyo doesn't work together. And work together was what the two squads did - and did with mu success. I think our team did great th year, said backup quarterba Brady Paddock, and l think we c do better next year. These junior athletes were ve confident about their role in the su cess of next year's teams, and if th performance in 1984-85 is any refle tion on their performance this ye they had a right to look forward next year.
