Monday nights at the drive-in would have to wait until summer rolled around again. We were now faced with more immediate activities such as homework, cramming for a test for 8 Student Life not cramminglj, and an 8:40-3:35 day. We tried every way possible to get out of class, meeting failure face to face many times. We all believed in the saying that, lf at first you don't suc- ceed, try try again, so we did.

The obstacles seemed impossible, but we, every individual, pulled together and we succeeded. lt took time and a lot of energy to overlook negative remarks and statements of a task being impossible to complete but we made it. We did not complete all our tasks, but we did not fail. We had determination and acheived many goals, in spirit and actions. We opened a door and passed through, shutting it behind us. We ourselves, came first, and we let everyone know it. Kristi Webb Teresa Griffin Opening 7

Y...K3-Ldv is lu, your two day vacation . Whether it be a game, party, or a big date , we usually had our plans made no later than Wednesday afternoon. To take our school year apart piece by piece and try to put it back without some sort of break could never be complete. Weekends or holidays or just having a class cut by fifteen minutes were a major part of our school year.
