CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Getting psyched up for the game is all part of the preparation. Lon Baxter and John Ladner take to the air to express their readiness. Although working with younger children can be very trying, Project Do volunteer Bobby Parker took to it like a fish to water. There’s no better way to spend a Friday night than chasing down an archrival, especially when you’re Senior Mike Yarborough and you’re playing against your hometown, Pass Christian. Layups appear so easy, just drive in, put the ball up, two points, right? Well, Senior Jim Martin will be the first to tell you, it’s not that easy! UNIQUENESS TO THE ULTIMATE It began like any other school year. The students arrived, began exchanging summer ex¬ periences. The faculty was prepared, the tex¬ tbooks lay waiting. Overall, just another school year. But underneath it all, everyone knew. This year was to be different, a very unique year indeed. It began with a storm . . . Hurricane Elena. She blew in from the Gulf during the third week of school, releasing everyone for an unexpected holiday, a week long holiday. Upon returning to school, it was like starting all over, like the first two weeks of school were lost, placed in limbo.
