all of us. Everyone know the tortures that await freshmen in the cruel hands of the seniors. Our first activity as high schoolers was the election of student council representatives and class officers. Elected were Marc McGough, Stacy Stockton, Lindsey Powell, Tiffany Trevillion, and Kara Porter. Our class favorites were Lesley Grimes, Stacy Stockton, Jarrod Yates, and Justin Jernigan. Nate Lucena, Shannon Morrow, and Kara Porter made all region band this year. We had no cheerleaders this year. On April 1,1996, we were devastated by a fire that destroyed a portion of the school. As the students learned of the fire, many wished this was an April fool's joke, but this was no joke.

This year, the Curley Wolves led us to a state championship against our biggest rival, the Nashville Scrappers. The Wolves finished the season with a 14-0-1 record. David and Doug, does Gatorade fizz?
