Cheers overcame the junior student body as class president, Jean Knabenshue, accepts the spirit stick for hall decorations. Fall sports athletes stand up to get the recognition they deserve. Miles of crepe paper are twisted and stretched from the bleachers to the gymnasium floor and from the floor to the basketball backboards. Senior Steve Cenova twisted all night and by the next day, the seniors had won the spirit stick! Panther pride shines golden bright not only on the field, in the pool, and on the courts in the various sports, but in the classrooms as well. At the annual academic recognition banquet, senior Rich Horvath and juniors Lisa Thompson and Jean Knabenshue model their medals and award-winning smiles for all to see. Student Life 15

Starting In Summer Strike up the band. As the Washington High School band started their year- round commitment, amid the hot summer month of August on the steaming black pavement of the back faculty parking lot, the fall sports athletes began their prac- tices in the pool, on the field, and on the courts. As athletes went through weeks of hard work, they were also rec- ognized at the pep assemblies. Many students got into the Pan- ther spirit as they decorated the halls and gymnasium for the foot- ball and basketball homecoming spirit weeks, in order to win the spirit sticks. The Memory Lane and Hatchet staffs decorated the English classrooms to promote the sale of yearbook and newspaper subscriptions. 14 Long before most students are even thinking of reporting back to school, band members are already gearing up for the South Bend football jamboree. They begin practice in early August. Freshman Billy Holmes hitches up his bass drum in the proper setting; senior Ken Wozniak is all ready to atten-hut.

ctivities Unite Panthers Ti ' alent, dedication, determination, opti- mism, spirit, pride and a sense of concern are all unique qualities which bind friends, future schol- ars, thespians, farmers, journalists, homecoming courts, and hostesses to- gether. Motives behind being in- volved were endless and differed greatly. One rea- son that may contribute to the widespread involve- ment of such diverse stu- dents with such individual interests and personalities was the variety of clubs, groups, and activities to choose from. The varied goals and objectives of these groups offered ap- peal to almost every stu- dent. When asked why they participate in activities, junior Tricia Sekendy com- mented, It ' s fun to get into the clubs and meet other people. Panther sophomore Fred Patton added, They ' re fun and special. This is why a view inside Washington ' s activities is a view of the pride, interests, concerns and motivations of the student body. 16 Hello Dolly, performed at the 1988 Firefly Festival, included three Washington students.
