As usual, these yearbook weirdos have come up with some theme we don ' t understand. You mean you don ' t get it? Oh, like you do? Sure. Think about it. US - get it? Yeah, now that you said it that way. Of course I don ' t get it. Look stupid, think about this year. It was US all along... ...purchasing $25 sweatshirts with the sleeves ripped ■ off so we could be in style... ...cussing the computers when they blurted Syntax Error for no known reason to man... ...waiting for the 500 lb. club to evacuate the weightroom so we could bench our 100 lb. limit - in the privacy of our own weakness... ...not waking in the shower, not waking on the bus, but waking to the slap in the face of the retina-burning, optic nerve-damaging, flourescent yellow lockers... .. .bypassing a high caloric lunch when on diets, only to invade the vending machines for a Suzy Q and Diet Pepsi... Now do you get it? With a continuing tradition in Tiger Pride, Seniors Angie Arthur and Teresa Mills back their favorite player, Gary Johnson, at the New Palestine battle for semi-state in the AA football berth. The Tigers went on to capture their first regional vic- tory, 14-7, to the delight of the players and fans alike. The football team, however, did not make it to the top without a few mis- takes. Senior quarterback Scott Francoeur either realizes a strategic error or he wants V-8 at the Homecoming game against Centerville in yet another Tiger victory. Opening

la Ml Oh, sure I think so. You mean all of the things we did that set US apart from the rest like... ...setting the scene for a Harlequin Romance novel in our lockerbays, with couples using passing periods for making passes... ...filing into McDonald ' s to shovel down more and still more of the over 40 billion served, or just to get a 15 f glass of water... ...taking bets on what ' s for lunch without looking at the menu before going through the line... ...juggling the file cards and TI-35 ' s that never fit comfortably atop our 8x10 college prep books... ...practicing at the crack of dawn to fulfill our daily ' mega ' lap requirements for Swim Coach Ettl. . . .and staying up all night, studying for tests, practicing for plays and complaining to your best friend about not ever getting anything accomplished. You got it! You got the whole theme idea! Yeah, and what ' s more, I ' ve got a condensed look at a year when Yorktown students Never Looked So US! Sometimes that Tiger Pride just wasn ' t enough to satisfy the hard work and dedication the students put into their activities. Band members Pam Somers, Maura Walsh, and Kim Kimbrough were not necessarily pleased with only a seventh place finish in the State Band Competition, nor was Tiger Okeley of the Varsity Football team appeased when 1 ranked Chatard took the Tigers in their first semi-state game on the Tiger field. But these disappointments were minimal when compared to the character building outcome that resulted in all of the trials of labor and love that preceeded the actual event. Opening
