As the first bell of the year chimed, over 960 students filled the halls and brought with them their own individuality that set them apart and put them on the edge. Students arrived to discover that rules had been changed. One of the biggest was the allowing of flip flops to be worn. There were no restrictions on footwear compared to last year. "I was really happy when I found out I could wear flip flops again,'' senior Shannon Scott said. "It was one less worry in the morning about what shoes I could or could not wear." Adding to the list of changes, students adapted every morning to the moment of silence and the saying of the pledge. Students did have the opportunity to be dismissed from this ritual with parents permission. "I had to get back in the habit of saying the pledge every morning," junior Cassie Monsey said. "The last time I said the pledge | was in elementary school. This was also the first time that I have ever said the Texas pledge." Class meetings were held for the new punishment policies for the ID cards, tardies, * and absences. "I'm not a fan of the new tardy policy," junior Brooke Barad said. "It's unfair that I get a warning then a tardy in each class because I have trouble getting to one class." With Burkburnett, Texas located on the border with Oklahoma, students were living on the edge. -Arica Felty On The Edge

With students holding a full schedule, they hardly found time to themselves during their hectic lives, but they were still living it up. The Homecoming tradition continued with the building and presentation of the floats and skits in the gym. Students chose to depict Disney movies in hopes of winning. The coveted first place went, once again, to the senior class. "We chose to portray C in d e r e lla because it described our football team's Cinderella' season," senior Kathy Teeter said. "It was a great feeling when we won to know that our work paid off. Everyone was working during the week which helped us get everything done." For the annual Friendship Park Festival, students decided to get down and dirty in mud volleyball. The tournament, sponsored by the Dog Squad, awarded the first place team, "The Aces-ln-The-Holes," with six tickets to Six Flags. The winning team was Brad Pruett, Andrew Leaper, Andy Slye, Casey McCleskey, Dakota Orf, and Zac Albin; with coaches Adam Jodice, Joey Price, and Chase Robertson. With life in its prime, students found themselves living it up. -Arica Felty 4

Homecoming night started with the band's preÂ game performance. They played "American Salute," Chester," "Hoedown" and "Shenandoah." 'Shenandoah' was my favorite song because the tone and harmony worked good together," senior Chris Seman said. The color guard performed with colorful flags, star props, and tall setting props that turned around to make a barnyard. Though the score was close at halftime, the game ultimately ended in a 40-7 loss to Gainesville. -Lalli Martinez Homecoming Night

"You can feel and smell the air," she said. "It is a different feeling than being in a car and temperatures really vary riding along." Traveling in those five states, she experienced both hot and cold weather. "In the desert, it was

hot but the mountains in Colorado and Utah were around forty degrees, so we used heated vests that plugged into the motorcycle," she said. Some of her favorite sites included the Blue Men Group in Las Vegas and the Bryce Canyon in Utah. In Utah, Mrs. Avey passed through a man made tunnel that was two miles long without lights. Another summer the Aveys took an east coast trip so Mrs. Avey doesn't know where they will go next summer. However, she looks forward to putting on her helmet and traveling again. -Lalli Martinez

With an array of styles, personalities, and schedules, the 960 students enrolled in school found themselves living in reality. Once again, reigning as the largest class, the freshmen entered the campus with 269 students. Breaking with tradition, the juniors ranked second largest with 248 followed by the 228 sophomores. The 215 seniors, yet again, ranked fourth. Changes in the faculty count saw the loss of teachers which brought the count from 124 to 112. "We had to reduce our number due to Texas law and state budget cuts," Mr. Del Hardaway said. " We tried to work it out where there would be the same number of students to each teacher." Despite leveling efforts, most English classes were larger. "I'm not used to such large English classes," Mrs. Kay Dalke said. "It is difficult to give the students the individual attention they need when there are 30 students in a class. Plus, there are not enough computers for everyone." With everyone's individual personality and schedule ranging from school, to organizations, to work, students found themselves living in reality. - Arica Felty 26

When not on the field as a football trainer or showing her school spirit as a Lady Pup, she is active in NHS, International Club, and FCA.

Creativity has inspired Jami Gilkerson to pick a career in design or photography. Upon graduation, this curly red head hopes to attend the Art Institute of Colorado. Jami likes to run, shop, listen to music, and draw. She shows her spirit through participation in band and Color Guard. Attending NHS and Key Club meetings and working at Shep-Mil Cleaners keeps her occupied. When reflecting on her freshman year, Jami remembers how much more freedom there was compared to

junior high. "I will miss those times you just relax and hang out with friends," Gilkerson said. "Second to that would have to be football games." Jami's sisters, Kim and Heather, have been constant inspirations. "Don't be afraid! Believe in yourself! was the best advice my mother gave me," Gilkerson said. Hoping to be remembered as sincere, energetic, and a true friend, Jami lives by the motto, "Trust in God!" ! -Jenna Organiscak

/A v fe x Most freshmen athletes don't get :o feel the excitement of playing varsity uasketball, but Casey Copeland got :hat chance. Since his freshman year, Sopeland has played a major role in :he athletic department. "I believe it is important for me to :ake on the role of a leader,” Copeland said. Copeland was also the quarterback for the varsity football :eam, and involved in NHS, PALs, and -CA.

"It's important to excel in both athletics and academics so I can get into a good college," Copeland said. To Copeland, the best thing about being a senior is, "knowing that you're about to graduate.” "I will miss the football and basketball games the most,” Copeland said. When Copeland ventures from the school grounds, he would like to be remembered as an all-around good guy-Matthew Turner

Mrs. Baughman earns honor With a positive outlook on life, teacher of the year Mrs. Allyson Baughman always seems to put a smile on her math students' faces and she finds the humorous end out of everything. "Many students come in thinking math is hard," she said, "but I like the challenge of making math easy for students." "If I could change something about my job, I would want all students to have a good attitude toward school." After Mrs. Baughman graduated from BHS in 1990, she earned her math degree from OSU where she met her husband Michael, who also teaches and coaches at BHS. As a devoted mother, Mrs.Baughman cares for their 2-year-old daughter and she enjoys golf. "When you have a 2-year-old girl at home, there's not much else you can do," she said. -Brandon Phillips

With academics being an important issue for all students, grades and classes pushed students to start testing the limits. In order to see students graduate, the counselors started the new recovery credit class. The class helped those in the senior class gain enough credits by May in time for graduation. "The students stay on campus and work in in a supervised, self-paced environment," Mrs. Gloria Bond said. The new version of the TAKS test was given to the juniors. If they did not pass the test then they were not allowed to receive their diploma. "I thought it was easier and more time consuming," junior Random Reeves said. I don't like the thought of not graduating if I don't pass the test." For students concerned about college, course names were changed. Honors Physics has been renamed to Pre-AP Physics allowing students to take AP Physics, and the AP test in hopes of gaining college credit. "The curriculum is the same-just a name change," Mrs. Conni Marshall said. With college on the horizon, students became focused on their academics and began testing the limits. -Arica Felty 100 Academic Divider

Challenging the mind, body, and soul, athletic events pushed students abilities, placing them on the brink of sucess. Last spring, the girls 800 meter relay track team comprised of Kim Coleman, Danielle Goode, Desiree Griffith, and Carson McGowan palced second in District 5-4A and Coleman individually placed first in the 200 meter dash as well as sixth in the long jump. "I tried my best not to get nervous," junior Kim Coleman said. I tried not to think about actually winning, but to stay focused on what I was about to do." The 2003 girls soccer team was named Bi-District champs. In the first round they won against Canyon, but lost to El Paso Del Valle in the second round. "It was physically and mentally stressfull because we had never been there before," senior Carson McGowan said. "It was great going that far because we needed to get the program off the ground, and it felt good to win." Carrying on the torch of tradition, athletes looked to the past for rebuilding techniques and the future for prosperous seasons which placed them on the brink. -Arica Felty 114 Sports Divider

The team also placed fourth in the Hotter 'n Hell tournament. Having a different range of grades from sophomore to seniors made no difference for the team. The team only worked on coming together as a team to help their skills get better. "No one really cared about grade," senior Meredith Robertson said. "We all just came together to win."

"My motivation during the season was receiving water once we're done playing."

Varsity o p e n s a n d ends season w ith victories Starting with the memory of an 0-10 season, the varsity football team rebounded back with a 3-0 start. Quarterback Casey Copeland, with his long and accurate passing, led the Dogs to the exploding beginning. The Iowa Park game was the KFDX game of the week. From beating Iowa Park 21-20 for the first time in seven years to demolishing Duncan 40-0, the Bulldogs surpassed the expectations set for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt good starting the season at 3-0," junior Chris Pickle said. "We worked really hard at the start of the season. We had to prove to everyone that we were better than we were last year, and we did." 120 Varsity Football

After that, the team entered into a six game loosing streak and lost momentum. It took work and dedication for the Bulldogs to play every Friday night at Bulldog Stadium. The Dogs ended the season with a bang by beating Hirschi 26-0. "To win games it takes preparation," junior Jordan McClain said. "I take a 30minute nap, drink three powerades, and I listen to Papa Roach. I make sure I do the same thing every Friday. "We made great strides this year in turning our team in a positive direction," said Coach J.J. Barry. "The future looks bright since we have many returning underclassmen." -Jonathan Whetzel

JV, Freshmen c o n tin u e their winning streak Both Freshmen and Junior Varsity teams returned from previous winning seasons and were fully motivated to repeat another victorious season. The freshmen had a successful season. They ended their season with 9 wins and 1 loss. "All of our players worked hard, and every team member had a roll in each of our nine wins,but we missed our goal of Freshmen District Champion by one loss," said assistant coach Mike Leach. The highest scoring game for the freshmen team was against the Hirschi Huskies and the final score was 28-7. "The hardest part of the season was getting

started and back into shape," said freshmen offensive player Lane Anderson. The Junior V a r s i t y team, on the other hand, did just as well. They ended their season with 8 wins and 2 losses. "The hardest part of the season was practicing so much, and losing to our rival Old High," sophomore Luke Hoover said. The Junior Varsity's only other loss was to the Iowa Park Hawks with a final score of 14-22. Despite the two losses, the Junior Varsity team still came out on top. Hours of practice, dedication, and motivation lead the Bulldog teams to successful victories. -AN Garcia

"I like the challenge ladder because it puts us in a competitive situation each time were on the course,” sophomore Maranda Bice said. “The pressure makes us better because every shot counts.” Although the new coaching position was more time consuming than she had expected, Coach Dalke really enjoyed working with all of the players. “It was a challenge to try to get all the kids to play to the best of their ability, Coach Dalke said. "I also feel that the team has come a long way." -Priscilla Guffey

"This is an incredible accomplishment fo r the boys' cross country team; I felt the team ran really well together at every meet and also the team worked hard throughout the season to accomplish this goal," Coach Loy Triana said.

Lady Dogs win district; a d v a n c e t o p la y o ffs Teamwork and Pride. These two words explain skills used by the Lady Bulldogs to strive to be the best and earn the district championship. "Our defense carried through district," junior Kim Coleman said. "It was the reason we shut down many teams offensively.” The ladies beat their biggest opponent, Hirschi, twice, ranking them the undisputed district champs. "We were very pumped for both of the Hirschi games," senior Brittany O'Sullivan said. “We used our great defense and fundamentals to hold them down." There was an unexpected loss to Wichita Falls High School, but that did not deter the team's spirits. They finished

the season with a record of 9-1 and an overall record of 20-8 and were crowned district champions. Because the Lady Bulldogs were number one in district, they were honored as bi-district champions. The ladies advanced to the playoffs, where they played Granbury for the area championship, but were defeated 44 to 32. "It has been a very successful season," Coach Alex Koulovatos said. "I’m proud of the way the girls improved througout the season. The experience they learned at the beginning of the year paid off through district and allowed us to be district champions." -Demetria Rush

Freshman, JV Lady Dogs capture district titles The freshman and JV girls basketball teams continued the tradition and perfection of the school. Freshmen finished with 16-6 on the season and ended up district champions with a 8-2 record. “The team went beyond any and all expectations,” J’Bill Merrick said. “They played well together and had a b t of fun.” Leading the freshman basketball team to victory were freshmen Carly Moree, point guard; Bandi Barnes, rebounder; Rachel Kenny, defensive; and Kiera Fannon, post. This season’s JV team finished with a 11-9 record and posted 7-3 in district, tying with Springtown as co

champions. “The girls worked very hard to become the district co-champions,with Springtown,” Denise Miracle said. “It was a pleasure to coach such a fine group of young ladies.” With only eight players on the JV basketball team, no one player stood out beyond the rest. The Lady Bulldogs basketball team worked together to achieve their goals for a winning season. “It takes a lot of heart and dedication to be in our program.” Coach Miracle said. “I am very proud of the entire group of ladies (9th-12th), they all worked hard, played hard, and captured the district championship.” -Lauryn Siniscalchi

Varsity p la c e s s e c o n d , a d v a n c e s t o p la y o ffs The Bulldogs started with a 10-10 pre-season record, and needed to make it up during district. With the experience of 11 returning seniors and their assisting teammates, the Bulldogs picked up second in district, with a record of 8-2. The last game against Wichita Falls determined whether the Bulldogs would give up the championship to the Coyotes; or deny them the right of having a perfect 8-0 district record. With good team effort, the Bulldogs lost against Wichita Falls, taking away the district championship for the first time in three years. The last time they played the Coyotes this season they lost 46-49. At the end of the 134 Varsity Boys Basketball

game, even though the team lost, the fans showed a sportsmanlike spirit. "In my 16 years in the business, it was the most impressive student fan participation I've ever seen," said Mr. Dudley Roberts, vice principal. At the end of the season, the Bulldogs didn’t let down. "We overcame adversity and we had a great year," said senior Casey Copeland. The Dogs faced Hebron in the bi-district round of their 10th playoff appearance in the past 11 years. "We're very pleased with the way the season went," Coach Nix said. "Our guys played through very well." -Jonathan Whetzel

Traditions, work p a y o ff for freshman, JV team s Freshman boys began with a 8-5 pre-season record and finished with 9-1 in district. "The team worked really hard and improved each game and continued to grow together," Coach Michael Baughman said. The coaches worked with the boys to improve their skills as well as their game play. "It was a great experience working with the coaches and players," freshman Dan Williams said. Some of the players had traditions before every game that would get them going. “I would listen to music and get myself pumped for every game," freshman Dan Williams said. As for the JV team they were 15-5 in pre

season and had 8-2 in district. Junior Varsity also had traditions before each game. "Before every game we always prayed and circled up then did the hunnybun clap," sophomore Shawn Peterman said. Coaches enjoyed helping the players improve on their skills and game. "The team worked hard and improved and continued to grow together," Coach James Moseley said. Next year UIL district realigns with the loss of Hirschi, Springtown, and Mineral Wells. "The new schools in the 4-A district are Denison, Denton High and Sherman," Coach James Moseley said. -Patrick Weaver 1----------------------------------- 1 — D y iu jG S — T H e m -

Soccer teams p ractice to improve g a m e scores Starting the year with a new coaching staff, the soccer team hoped to recover and improve from previous years. "I believe the team has made considerable improvement from the past years," said boys soccer Coach Jon Sonnenberg. "I told the players from the beginning, if you want to improve as a team you need to play like a team." Team captains Jonathan Gurlides, Adam Webb, Nick Haudenshild, and DJ Vieth help mentor and lead the team with their experience in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really happy with the way our team pulled together this season," senior Adam Webb said. "I was very honored to be able to lead these guys on to the field as one of the

captains. I think that we set a good foundation for next year." Practicing every day during fourth period and after school, the boys tried to master the techniques that they needed to play well. "I think practicing helps us improve. I really need the practice," junior Scott Sandsmark said. The soccer team hoped to prosper through achieving success after putting in all the extra practice time that they spent working on building up the team to help prepare for the season. "Having a new coach this year helped us have more team unity and become a stronger team," junior Blake Wuthrich said. -A. Smith and M. Ziegler

Softball team s c re a te new friends Softball offers a great way to meet and make new friends while playing and competing. With old seniors graduating and new girls coming in to play softball every year, there are always new experiences to learn, new friends to meet and new games to win. "The best part of playing softball is working really hard together as a team," senior Kimber Rinn said. "You have to put out a tot of effort in order to win but if you have your friends with you it makes it a whole tot easier and much more fun." Winning games together as a team helps all of the girls to strengthen their bond as close friends and more importantly, to become one huge family.

"This year was great because we had a tot of homerun power hitters, and that always helps out our season even more,â&#x20AC;? senior Kathy Teeter said. With new softball girls and hopeful freshmen always coming into the junior varsity and varsity teams, every year is different and every year is a challenge. "It can be hard having new people coming in every year, but it is fun because every year we get better and better!" sophomore Ashley Hales said. Through new yearly arrivals and fierce competitions with a tot of vigorous effort, the junior and varsity softball teams grow together and become a tight knit family unit. -Lyndsay Smith

"Last year, Charlie Seymour, Cody Adams, and Alex Evans were the main contributors to the team's success," Coach Owen said. "The team went to four meets and placed in the top three in all of them." The team participated in five meets and regionals. The meets were at Coppell, Hirschi, Childress, Jacksboro, and Iowa Park. During the season the team captured first place at three meets and placed second . overall in the others. Seven of the team

members advanced to regional powerlifting. "Powerlifting lays a great foundation for teamwork with emphasis on individual success," Coach Owen said. "It allows me as a coach to show athletes that their individual performances directly effect the team's outcome." Powerlifting is also a great asset to the football program. "Powerlifting gives me the confidence and strength needed to succeed on the football field," sophomore Dakota Orf said.

With all students requiring a fine art credit to graduate, choir offers three classes; Mixed Choir, Girls Choir, and A Cappella Choir, to choose from. Mixed Choir gives the basics in learning music, and how to sing. Girls Choir is for girls who have a real passion to sing and perform to their full musical ability. "I hope for a career involving singing someday," sophomore Sierra Fannon said. A Cappella Choir is for advanced singers who want to challenge and improve on their singing and

performing abilities. Students also have the opportunity to take part in competitions such as TMEA, Solo and Ensemble, and Concert Sight Singing. Michelle Alfret placed in region choir while Christa King and Molly Turner advanced to pre-area. Senior Matt Perkinson advanced to area audition and placed in all-state choir. "Competitions can get really hard but they are so much fun," senior Matthew Perkinson said. "You get the chance to be with people who have the same musical passion as you do.â&#x20AC;? - Lyndsay Smith Choir 155

Band advances to area after regional contest After earning asupeior rating at Region Contest in Wichita Falls, the band advanced to Area Contest in Lubbock for the first time in 14 years. " The area trip was a blast even. though we didn't advance to state. I felt incredibly proud," junior Mackenzie Lawson said. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show honored the country and its most famous composers. The music included A m e r ic a n Salute, Chester, Hoedown, and Shennendoah. The show featured the percussion pit and 12 foot tall moveable props built by dedicated 156 Band

parents. During Shennendoah, the props displayed a purple sky and were turned during Hoedown to display a bam. "The marching show was awesome," vice-president Terrel White said. "Our tuba dance rocked and the props were enormous." During the percussion break in H o e d o w n , band members climbed into the props and performed a solo. " It was fun because I got to dance with Cody Webb while the rest of the band had to play," senior Adam Lewis said. - Marissa Brown and Amanda Marotz

Entering the AFJROTC, new members were quickly introduced to the rules, practices, and procedures of the program. The group traveled to District competition and placed in their respective catagories. The first year cadets placed for the first time. They ranked eleventh in first year drill, fifteenth in exhibition demilitarized rifle out of thirty-six teams, and the color guard placed tenth. "I was really excited about the competition," Colonel Bill Doyle said. "I was proud of our wins and I thought it was easy and a good experience for our group." Sophomore Andrew Tucker placed second out of 100 students in individual drill.

"It was kind of a last minute thing," Tucker said. "I plan on going into the military so this is a really good practice for me." The group practiced during their class hours and after school to perfect their formations and marching skills. "Our hard work in our drills promotes overall discipline," sophomore Josh Barnett said. For fun, the group traveled to Oklahoma City and toured the Federal Memorial Building and the Omniplex. While there the group studied aviation and every student was given the chance to ride in flight simulators to get the feeling of being in an actual jet. "The overnight trip was a total blast," junior Matthew Baker said. AFJROTC 159

C lubs h e lp t o t e a c h t o d a y 's c a r e e r skills With a variety of clubs out there, it is difficult for a club to stand out. Clubs such as BPA, FCCLA, and Cosmetology offer careers skills along with fun and community service. Family Career and Community Leaders of America, (FCCLA) is a club that gives back to the community. "We work with kids who need homework help," freshman Janelle Goettman said. It is good karma to help and fun.â&#x20AC;? Business Professionals of America, (BPA) also helps out in the community,

but specializes in computer application and modem day work and computer skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I joined BPA to have fun, and if I can leam some new computer skills, too, that is even better," said vice president, senior Ashley Wallace. Cosmetology, part of VICA, (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America), sits on the edge between a class and a club. "I wish more people would join cosmetology; it is a good way to learn and the school pays tuition," senior Rebecca Wiley said. -Lyndsay Smith

With clubs learning about different cultures, helping the community and the school, the members bond together and expand their knowledge. International Club has over 50 members who met for meetings on Tuesdays and they planned activities for every month. The club went on field trips to learn about different cultures and taste new foods. “It was fun when we went on the trips,” junior Jonathan Whetzel said, "I indulged in eating experiences of different nationalities. It was fun.”

Key Club worked with the community by helping bring canned foods during the drive and putting on a blood drive on Friday December 5. "We had about 80 pledges, "senior Neriza Madarang said, "and collected almost 50 pints of blood for the day." Crimestoppers has been busy trying to solve crimes around the school. They met in Ms. Beverly Lee's room. The crimestoppers also had a phone number to call to leave tips to solve crimes. -Patrick Weaver Activities 163

Drama club's productions staged for success Memorizing lines, running lights, setting propsall these are involved in dramatic productions. The blackbox theatre is a world of its own with amazing possibilities, as Mr. Barrows theatre and tech classes continue to prove. Rehearsals for the fall play, Everybody Loves Opal, began the first week of school. The cast memorized lines in the summer to prepare for seven shows in October and September. Although the first full run through of the show didn’t occur until opening week, the comedy 164 Drama

was enjoyed by cast, crew, and audience alike. Talent from other schools was apparent at The Thespian Festival in November. Performances like Ragtime and Godspell played out at Memorial Auditorium. In the spring, the drama students participated in the annual UIL One Act Play Competition. The department chose Children of a Lesser God as their competition piece. The students spent hours after school perfecting their craft. -Jenna Organiscak Matthew Turner

Journalists use numerous means of media to transfer news to the school. The newspaper staff, with new sponsor Mrs. Lisa Tang, produced a monthly issue to tell about current events such as sports' events, club meetings, and fundraisers. The paper also included fun articles like features and music or movie reviews. "I love knowing that we re helping keep people up-to-date and captivating our readers at the same time," said junior Gin ju Im, co-editor-in-chief.

Yearbook staff members gathered stories, information, and photos that provided a look-back on the years events.

FCA and TAFE are two organizations that focused on being a good role model and gaining experience. Fellowship of Christian Athletes meet on Mondays at St. Jude's Parish Hall, to participate in group Bible studies, and help in preparations for their future projects of setting up a sports camp for children and an "End of School Bash." â&#x20AC;&#x153;FCA is full of fun and fellowship, and its a great environment to be in with friends,â&#x20AC;? Lindsay Tugman said. Sponsors for the FCA included coaches Mike Strickland and Loy Triana. The Texas Association

of Future Educators allowed students to gain experience, and knowledge, and to explore a career in teaching. TAFE members gained experience through tutoring students and observing teachers in class. For Teacher Appreciation Week, TAFE members sent gifts to teachers. "I get the opportunity to work with children and give them a positive influence that they might not be gettting at home or from their peers," senior Joey Vannucci said." -Neriza Madarang and AN Garcia

With the construction of the new water tower on the e d g e of town, the band advancing to area, and the girls basketball team winning District, students were living on the edge. As fads came and went, girls left their "initial" mark while clothes went retro, reminiscent of the 1940s and 50s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the retro style because it brings back polka dots, which I like, and pink is the new black," senior Tara Liston said. The capture of Saddam Hussein on December 14, the Democratic delegates vying for the Presidential party ticket, and the Super Bowl halftime shocker made headlines nationwide. While the burning of the Boyd Brothers Store, the oldest building in Burkburnett, and the voting on the new school bond which would allow the school to build a new football stadium, band hall, soccer field, and to refurbish sports facilities and parking lots, Burkburnett made headlines. "I think the passing of the new bond will help the entire school with the addition of science rooms and an auditorium which will improve the atmosphere of our campus," Coach Loy Triana said. "A lot of people think it will just benefit athletics, but it will also benefit the whole school." As the year came to an end so did a chapter in students lives. Seniors moved on to the next stage in their lives and in the transition from adolescence to adulthood they were living on the edge. -Arica Felty On The Edge 215
