She was also the out- standing offensive player of the year. Cindy Eggem- eyer, only a sophomore, was the defensive player of the year. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM.

Like the turtle, a person must be will- ing to stick out his head in order to prog- ress. He must take chances and follow dreams to he knows not where. Taking part in activities at SHS helps the stu- dents to enlarge their circle of friends and broaden their interests by participa- tion. To get anything out of life, a per- son must not sit and view the scenery around him but take part in life; other- wise, even the turtle will pass him by.
