The d,1ss of 2001 is honored to dedicate this yearbook to Kristin Padgett and Karl Steen. Both have brought forth the best in us, filled our lives with laughter and supported us in times of --...... ;;• need. For this Kristin Padgett has been our advisor for the past three years. She constant! ives so much to our class, enerousl offering her time, for tutor­ ing and extra­ curricular activities. We rely on her for ______.support and her unmistakable smile. With her at our side, there is no idea too big. As a teacher she is known for her ~ · unfaltering enthusiasm for her subject and her students. It is

willingness to go out of ~ her way to lend a helping 0 hand that we, the class of 0 2001, will always N remember. KristinPad~ett Karl Steen has shown his faith and nev;er­ ending support to aH his students. He continues to keep high expectations and pushes us to be our best. He allows us to explore our horizons - and expand them to become what we all dream to become. Mr. Steen treats each.._ __ .....__._ student as an indiv.idual, and he res us with a devoted and caring attitude. He knows when someone needs a kind word and is quick to brighten a · student's day with his great sense of humor.

It is these charac­ teristics that make Mr. Steen and Ms. <~::/' . ~ Padgett stand out ~ above the crowd. Thank you both for ' being our teachers,

' .-,. mentors, and friends. ' ACADEMICSAKADEMISCH ACADEMIQUE ACADEMICO Dana ol -Lev sque A sistant Princip<1] Administration

28 Ads FAREWELL TO THE EIGHTH GRADERS

Farewell As we look back on our Middle School years, we remember the time we 've had. Middle chool i a period in your life when you grow and branch out. Entering eventh grade seemed so cary for ome of us. Meeting new people was going to be a hard task. We oon felt differently. By the end of seventh grade we had joined together and become a family. Eighth grade brought new people and new i ues . But, through the happy and ad times we stuck together and never let each other down . A we venture out on thi new que t, we bring with us our fond memorie of middle chool. -Jade Denny This year ' king was B n Bri hn ,, th queen was Heath r B dard and the court wa as follows: Lindsay Carter, Sarah yr, Dani Hausler, Will B nton, Taylor Paul, and Chad Rule . 8ASKfTBAlt

It was right before the big one, In the Middle of M}' Family And the football player aid, In the iddle of 1, Class In thl' middl of a "Excus me guy while I go bow my head." In the Middle of M Breakfast gorgeous tarry night And in the quiet of that room, In the iddl of ·1y Lunch I look upon the sk , with the moon shining The football player prayed, I'm Ah, ay in the Middle bright, "Oh God if nothing hear me now With the Jovel_ white star . . himmering I know that fate is made." Alone through the dark, by A hle Gregory I wonder if I, like the), could leave on the " o help us Lord to win this game, ,vorld such a gloriow, mark? If the big one, man, you see. I didn't \\'ant to admit it, If we lo e thi. gam that' it for us, It was easier to lie, Jennifer Larmay Pleas do this, Lord for me." And hide th hurt and emptiness, 2000 To smile instead of cry.

I didn't want to admit the fact, From F rrisburg cntral ho )1, ''The reason I can't help you win," I cannot spread my wings, To the halls of YUH , The Lord just then replied, "As you 're asking me to win, From recess and playgrounds, nd m happiness has melted o is the other side ." Into tears and other things, To study halls and lo ker tress, It hard for me to hide the fact, From being a "big" 6th grader, I'm e, erybody's Father and I mu t not iv wishes han' no horn , To being "in the middle" now, Take one side, nd r •turn to anguish, I don't know how I'll do it, o games arc played all on your own, Bow m · head, and cry alone. But I know I will somehow. Or they would all be tied."
