Any Way You Look At Organizations othing Comes Close It's the part of school that made it bearable: it's the part that got you out of class, it's the part that gave you an excuse to go to Pizza Hut, it's the part that made you feel like you belonged, it's Organizations. Even though you went absolutely broke, you drove your car on fumes for a week, and saved your lunch money everyday for the first month of school, in order to pay your club dues, it was worth it. You gladly sacrificed these petty things in order to be a member of that for the prom. In some clubs, you may have been an officer while in others you were a piece of the pie. Whether you planned or par- ticipated, you made the most of the year's events. Even though events ranged from spending a week in Florida to selling Christmas Cards for the Children's Hospital, you and your friends made braving the cold to help others just as fun as sunbathing. Some times the fun was getting out of class to play teacher for a day and other times it . ll' auqmportant club' Zlgjertisemeflets Whether it was to meet that real cute guy ing summer vacation. No from homeroom, to go to Florida in the spring or just to be a member did not make any difference. The fact remained that you felt like you belonged and throughout the course of the year, you enjoyed everything from selling pizzas to decorating IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK.

Organizations brought you closer to your classmates, and allowed you to share, to enjoy, to give, and to just belong. GRIN AND BEAR IT.

Not only did the support go to our football team, but to the tennis team as well. This year the girls tennis team played with a real home court advantage for the first time ever. The new tennis courts were completed just in time for the final Girls' home tennis match against Charlotte Catholic. Thanks to the Colt Club and many proud supporters we now have athletic facilities equal to, and in many cases, surpassing that of our rivals. Support didn't end there, the parents of our band students and our yearbook staff gave their support constantly throughout the year. Activities for band and yearbook last throughout the summer with camps and workshops which parents finance or help raise funds to finance. Drama parents and interested persons in the community play an important part in the success of the Colts. Their support comes from selling tickets, advertising and assisting back stage. The entire community and surrounding area enhance our drama program by the enthusiastic support and atten- dance of the drama productions. Credit for the success we have achieved this year must go to the parents who have offered their support and encouragement in all our endeavors throughout the year. Without the support of families and friends, the goals we have set and overcome may have been only dreams for the athletic teams, organizations and entire student body. IN YELLOW JACKET COUNTRY.
