A Freshman By Lawrence Henry A Freshman is ... A new face in the crowd. A Freshman is ... One who is always being picked on. A Freshman is ... Someone at the bottom of the ladder and has to work the way to the top. A Freshman is ... Someone who is fully motivated and ready to go. A Freshman is ... Someone that has to do this poem for the 87’ 88’ yearbook.

A JUNIOR By Jennifer Anderson A Junior is someone who understands the needs of the future and is preparing for it.

Counting The Days A Junior is ... Someone who is full of life and is ready to take off and explore adventures. Someone who ... is looking on ahead, but remembering well the past. Someone who ... is big enough, old enough to be grown up, and smart enough to be in charge. Unfortunately, a junior is the only one who knows it. By Jennifer Anderson s tm.

The addition of the wishbone offense excited the team. As the season continued, they improved in all areas but, unfortu- nately, peaked after the important games had staggered by. Everyone showed great teamwork as the Bears played to their potential in the final two games. At seasons end, the Most Valuable Player award, as voted on by the coaches, went to Howard Bil- ly. The offensive awards were: run- ning back, Harry Yazzie; receiver, Ju- nior Manning; offensive line, How- ard Billie.

That night, Shush Olympics was held at the football field and started with class compe- tetions, pie eating con- tests, car stuffing, tricycle races, and relay races. The junior class, no sweat, de- feated the sophomores and seniors. Tuesday’s ex- citement was Backwards Day which began with 6th hour. Students and staff dressed backwards as usu- al. The Powder Puff game that night at the Bears sta- dium brought the juniors -vs- seniors. To keep the tradition going, the ju- niors let the seniors win. Bringing the 50’s into Wingate on Wednesday saw people wearing their jeans rolled up, pony tails, letter sweaters, jackets, bobbie socks, poodle skirts and greased hair in the 50’s style. Thursday was Spook Day and many people didn’t even have to wear a mask to look scarey.

Friday was orange and green day, many students and staff participated. That afternoon at the Pep Rally, Mr. Lynn won the Mr. Legs contest (pictured below). The Most spirited award was given to Sophia Up- shaw and Danny Gishie. The volleyball players did an imitation of the varsity football team. The ROTC Drill team performed. The parade started from the ele- mentary, cruising by the S.U.B around the dorms and stopping in front of the Bear Den. Before the game, a pre-game party was held at the S.U.B. by recreation. The week was climaxed by an exciting win over Win- dow Rock 24-07. ¢ a ca 1B ; ip ; Pe wee Bu, aa 1 ; 18a pm mesh: e ‘A 2 era ae , a aes Above: Pie eating was no sweat for Junior Percy Charley, as he led Above: Juniors Lavina Yazzie, Dorene Kee, Dottie Morgan an the juniors to an enormous victory in the pie eating contest Althea Damon with their favorite ‘care Bear’ , smiley Danny during the SHUSH olympics on Monday of Homecoming week. shie.

It Takes Pride To Make A Team With The Best Lady Bears In The volleyball program this year was exciting be- cause the Lady Bears were so eager to learn and ap- ply their skills in games. They hustled to offense and defense, and listened to the coach (defense 88, x defense, dink to the sideline, jumpserve, etc.) The support from the fans was appreciated. Ex- periencing the agony of defeat, receiving first-aid treatment and celebrating the victories with a bucket of ice water were all part of the season. The seniors were Sheri Brown, Lauren Nez, Sophia Blackgoat, Becinia Ben, Marlene Jake, Marcella Jake, Nita Woody. Returning letter- men are Theresa Milliken, Cleo Otero, Jennifer Ter- ry, Leah Phillips, Theresa Barney, Zolinda Yazzie, Juana Yazzie, Timothia Brown, Primrose Begay and Veronica Lee.

They were small in height but big in heart. They had all the ingredients of becoming state qualifiers; a strong press, great coaching, many talented players, alot of hustle, experience and fan support. The guards were deadly at what they did, the inside people played with determination, and the two coaches inspired the players at all times. The 5 starters were: Delvin Yazzie - deadly 3 pt. gunner; Brian Yazza - inside penetrator; Roy Edison - clutch shooter; Harry Yazzie - inside defensive player; Billy James - strong determined inside player. The two 6th men players were Sammie Casamero, ad- ded defensive and offensive help, and Marvin Hood, good scorer, rebounder, and shot blocker.

The five who finished out the season were Brenna Yazza, freshman; Michelle Sloan, senior; Vikki Benally, senior; Tinnia Martin, junior and Helena Yazzie, freshman. It was more than just cheering for the team, it was having school spirit both on and off the court. With the assistance of Mrs. Thompson, the sponsor, the girls kept busy promoting enthusiasm. They sold spirit ribbons, cups, made posters and had bake sales _ and fry bread sales at concessions. On game days, they — wore their uniforms. As a group, they performed service _ projects for the school, helped in recruiting and partici- _ pated in the air band contest.

Center: Leah Philli lay-up against the Hawks. ps goes up for a : Face The Challenges Although the season ended with a 5-15 record, the Lady Bears can still claim some success from their efforts. With a few good breaks, the win-loss ratio could have been 10 and 10 or better. Five games were lost by 3 points or less and three games were lost by 9 or less. The Bear’s defense was the high point of the season, while poor shooting and turnover rate was the low point. Some highlights of the season include the first half against Window Rock when the score was 37 to 26 in favor of Wingate. The best full game was a 59-46 pounding of Zuni at the T-Birds home court, an exceptional effort by the entire team. The first district play-off game at Zuni demonstrated the true spirit of the team as the Bears won in OT 45-43. With 4 seconds left, Myrtle Denetclaw threw a full court pass to Tre Milliken who hit the lay-up. The following awards were pre- sented at the end of the season: Leader: Sophia Blackgoat; Co- MVP: Sophia and Theresa Milliken; Best Rebounder: Theresa; Best Team Spirit: Jackie Sam; Most Improved: Juana Yazzie; Best Defensive Player: Leah Phillips; Best Hustler: Zolinda Yazzie; Best Hands (steals and blocked shots) Jennifer Terry.
