o start the game, the right equipment must be readily available. ily The first pieces it needed for play are -ft..-129 the players them- selves, better known as students. There is no one student type, the variety is almost endless. Some are straight-academic achievers, striving for 4.0 and 3.9 grade point averages, usually with an eye to- wards college. Another group con- centrates on sports - some off- shoots of this are Pep, Drill Team, and Band. There are also the vo- cational students, working to- wards careers, and the combina- tion players, involved in two or more areas of play. These are just a few examples of the many dif- ferent kinds of playersfstudents. The next pieces required for 2 Opening!Equipment 735 DF' QW LI . play are the faculty and adminis- trators. Some of these are exper- ienced, with as many as 17 years at WHS to their credit fDon Skraba, Harry Iverson, Jan Rees, Jim Polite, Ken Gunn, Jerry Dut- ton, Jess Ohmert, and Jim Farenlg others are new to the game fMark Ritter, Buddy Clements, Daryl WardJ.'The role of these pieces is to guide the students and help them to win the game. Complementing the faculty and administrators is the staff, those invaluable elements needed to keep the game running smooth- ly and efficiently. The staff is made up of secretaries, custo- dians, librarians, cafeteria work- ers, and proctors. Among other things, these people keep track of attendance, maintain the campus, and keep the students on the cam- pus and in the game. Without the N5-' staff, the game would soon be- come confused and impossible to play. The last component needed for the game is a field of play: the campus. Over a dozen buildings are needed to contain all of the playing pieces and players, not to mention a campus that includes a pool, 3 baseballfsoftball fields, two separate parking lots, a gym, tennis courts, and a football and soccer field. When all of these components have been brought together, the next step is to un- derstand the OBJECT OF THE GAME. 8 I PLANNING THEIR STRATEGY, juniors Sherry Teare and Cindy Hernandez prepare for class competition during Spirit Week. They, to- gether with Nancy Daniels and Michelle Boyd, went on to win the balloon pass for the juniors. All photos by Paul Maldonado.

owe s the equipment is set on the game board, the players must keep in mind lp their objectives: Q5 completing re- quired courses, get- ting involved in academics and extra-curricular activities, and perhaps the main objective, graduating. World Cultures, SRC, U.S. His- tory, International Relations, Ci- vics and four years of English are some of the required classes to be taken by each student before he can graduate. The question most often asked is, Why do I have to take these classes when they have nothing to do with what I want to do in the future? Students need a well-rounded background of academic knowl- edge to help them function at the five,-:.?x....iI? 4 Opening!Object of the Game l f g ' . ,., 115,127 ci! highest level they can, according to Grade Level Coordinator Ms. Lorelee Miller. With the help of good student- teacher relationships, objectives become easier to reach. I feel a lot of the teachers are more into the kids compared to Diamond Barg it's like a prison over there, relates junior Corrine Jernigan.,. I'd much rather be here than anywhere else! Unlike some courses, involve- ment is not required. There are many clubs and teams open for participation and many chances for people to be active in activi- ties. These range from running for class president to cheering on par- ticipants of the Lip-Sync contest. Although there are many ob- jects of the game, the player must main ambition, various aims of only links in a never forget his graduation. The the players are chain of progress that leads to the long-awaited finish. When the objects are put to- gether, the players realize they can complete a successful round of the game. But the completion of these goals may not always come easily. Players must strive to reach their destination as does a foot- ball team working towards the goal line. At graduation, I felt like I completed one major part of my life and was ready to start another part,', said alumnus Darryl An- derson. Once the object of the game was understood, it was time for the START OF PLAY. 8 P MORE THAN A COMPLETION, David Duvall reaches his goal - a touchdown! Junior Jason Schouw stated, With just a little time and effort, I think anyone can reach their goals. Pho- tos by Paul Maldonado. -
