A ll had a fair share of the center stage Second semester came and we had not changed our ways. We could not seem to remove ourselves from the spotlight. The girls ' basketball team gained momentum in their drive toward a State Championship, and the wrestlers were ranked and almost certain to win that crown. The boys ' swim team had its best season ever and was Caught in the Act of beating North Central and winning the North Central Relays. Students started counting the days until spring break and graduation. Seniors seemed to count louder and faster than anyone, and in their enthusiasm, some found disfavor when they were Caught in the Act of displaying inappropriate signs in inappropriate places. Juniors Freddie Bell and Mark Kelso thrilled the winter pep session with their break dance performance. But many others were Caught too as they “breakdanced their way through the halls, or nervously auditioned for “Brigadoon.” Faculty members were in the spotlight too. Mrs. Linda Bayne, science teacher, was there when she won the Conservation Educator of the Year award. In fact, the whole faculty was the focus of attention when citizens questioned the quality of American education and the issue of merit pay for teachers. From the beginning when we packed away our summer clothes and got back into the act, to the very end when graduating seniors were leaving the scene, the probing spot searched us out.

etting the Act together is first step Hisses and boos came from the peanut galley” when the news was announced that as a result of new state laws, students would be attending a longer school day next year. In February, the administration was busy trying to get their Act together as to whether there would be six or seven periods in our school day. With the six period day there might not be any more pep sessions or days off for State Championships, or club meeting, but the seven period day would see teachers teaching more classes. The Cabbage Patch dolls which were so rare during Christmas appeared on Stuffed Animal day along with their friends the Care Bears and other assorted fuzzy friends. Kids were watching the Winter Olympics and the new T.V. station WPDS, Channel 59. Rising Sun and British Union Jack shirts were the fad and in the midst of all the trends, fads and fashions, the School Board was searching for a new superintendent and the Warren Education Association complained that they were being left out of the process of making any of the important decisions on the Board table this important year. Getting the act together was the first step of being Caught in the Act. Scooting down a row of enthusiastic teammates, senior Shawn Siebert helps the Lady Warriors fire up for another victory in their race to the Sectional Championshipk. Shoulder to shoulder fans stand and clap to the Warrior fight song during the Homecoming game. Togas and shaving cream are part of the fun activity where senior Kevin Halloran rubs a handful of the stuff through graduate James Henderson’s hair. Mark Heller grimaces in disgust.
