All students at the Academy play the complex, carefree, sometimes corny high school” game, even though the color of their playing pieces differ. Each student knows or quickly learns the requirements and sometimes even teachers let down their hair and join in the wild rampage to have a good time. With these solemn and carefully chosen words of introduction, LET THE GAMES BEGIN! Two unnamed dormies rap and relate . . . And now to the dance scene • Anna McClaury and Cary Lacourse looking positively enthralled . . . Craig Douglas goes ... to school?

The sophomores are a little more savvy. Their first year has taught them that the older you get, the more clout you possess. Unfortunately for the sophomores, they are the ’'jokers”. They are no longer entirely helpless but their position in the complex class structure is none to stable. They are more often than not like glow-in- the-dark silly-puddy in the powerful, molding hands of the juniors and seniors. The juniors seem to be not of this high school world. They are dolefully ploughing both through loads of information sent by the many thousands of colleges and piles of homework the size of icebergs in the Arctic. Their lives seem to be determined by the turn of a tarot card, ruled purely by chance. Above: Andy Hill and Robert Primmer are dressed and ready for rain, sleet and snow during the big St. J. game this past year. Bottom• The seniors show their dedication to the Basketball team by being there for all the games. Now, the seniors are at the top of the heap in more ways than one. Granted, the first half of the academic year is crammed full of application-writing and college and career choices but by February vacation, they are racing past third base and are on the way home. The seniors, when the year is finally, gloriously over, are out of high school forever and ever. They have been searching through the maze of the academic life high school-style for almost four years and have finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel.
