THE WEEKEND ~

The Seniors struggle to make it through their last year at Centennial as

:::i motivation for school work dwindles. The weekend is what gets many 1-

Seniors through the week. While some of us still have to work on a Saturday night or even do homework, hanging out with friends Is usually first on the priority list. Many nights are spent driving around searching out parties. In Champaign, the party scene is usually lacking and Seniors have to find another way to spend their treasured weekends. Movies, dinner, sporting events or .J ust hanging out with friends top the Usts of Seniors.

In the groove: Sophomores k.now what is going on. They are no longer the youngest in the crowd, and now they can direct the Freshmen through the paths of Centennial. The excitement for sophomores centers on acquiring a driver's licence, which gives them a new independence. Sophomores have the best of both worlds; freedom of personal transportation, with the time to socialize without the pressure of making college decisions. Congratulations sophomores, you have earned your independence!

Changing of~

On October 18, Centennial administration underwent a drastic transformation. Faculty and taff were the first to be informed that principal Dr. Lila Sullivan would no longer hold the top administrative po. ition at the high school. Sullivan was transferred to Kenwood Elementary Schoo l as principal, and Dr. Judy Wiegand as umed the position of interim principal of Centennial. The news came a quite a shock, but everyone took it in tride. Wiegand wa upported by deans John Isenhower, Joyce Smith, and Greg Stock in her new position. The e admini trator tackled many of the challenging i ue present among the tudent body. Teacher felt that the way tudent were dre sing needed to be "addre ed." Staff commented that students' fashions had been a distraction in class. To handle the situation, admin istration no longer allows clothing with fewer than one strap, exposed backs or midriffs, or skirts that are not con idered long enough. The team of administrators worked in the intere t of student safety and protection, creating an atmo phere that allowed every student the opportunity to gain knowledge and realize their individual talents and abilities.

ervice with a smile: Greg Stock miles while hearing an incredible story from a tudent on the first day of chool. A a dean, tack ha the pleasure of interacting with student on a daily ba is.

witching role : Judy Wiegand and Lila ullivan compare noteÂˇ on another hectic day at Centennial. Wiegand and ullivan had the opportunity to work together for nine year before ullivan's transfer to Kenwood Elementary chool.

control : Greg tack and Joyce mith regulate traffic in the busy entennial parking lot during Homecoming week. As most students know, the parking lot can be a dangerous at lunch.

Centennial achieved some of its fine t succes this past fall. The school finished their incredible efforts with a 9-3 record a well as a tate quarter final birth. In the season opener, the Charger faced off against Decatur MacArthur, who at that time was ranked in the state's top 10. With a 36-6 victory, a statement was i sued to every other team in the Big Twelve Conference. More triumphs would ensue from there, as the defense more than lived up to the public hype that was be towed upon them from day one. Led by dominant forces tephen Whitehill, Jay Ram haw, Michael Meridith, and Tyler Rouse, all offense were left baffled at the front of the Charger defense. Al o, a 36-12 win over Urbana and a 19-3 victory again t rival Champaign Central once again proved that Centennial wa the be t in the twin cities.

5TIAFF Centennial Marching Band kicks off their season early in August, with five intense days of training at band camp. Held here at school , participants learn the basic marching technique~ as well as the upcoming year's field show. Drumline and drum majors have their own workshops in order to prepare for the season. The four drum majors are respons1ble for learning conducting technique in order to lead the band during shows. Above, Emily Kasak is alert and focused during a football halftime performance. The entire band practices together during 2nd and 3rd hour throughout first quarter, and all students are exempt from P.E. to practice the challenging show daily. nder the dedicated leadership of co-directors Dav1d Allen and David Madden, the Marching Chargers performed at all home football games, out on the field during halftime. The games provided a great opportunity to practice for the four competitions they entered. Taking home two Grand Champ1ons, one second place finish, and a fourth place, the Marching hargers did quite well for themselve. this year. The Univer~ity of Illinois event was by far the climax of their season. Because it is state-wide, here in town, and at the end of the season, the U of I competition is huge, and the Chargers once again proved their worth, taking 4th place m Class A. Drumline medaled with an amazing third place, and the Color Guard surpassed all expectations, capturing first place in the parade competition. All the hard work paid off for the Marching Chargers, who completed a tremendous run this year. The olor Guard program excelled this fall. The squad kicked it up a notch with three d1fferent camps over the summer, and practicing twice weekly before school in addition to the ten hours per week durning class. The team took home some impressive titles, including first place in both of l and Monticello competitions.

A Blue Perspective

How many laps? Ryan Hays proves to be a dependable teammate in counting for another Centennial swimmer in the 500 yard freestyle. Be ause the event is 20 laps long, the swimmers are required to have a "counter" that sticks in a board with numbers at the end of the lane to show the competitor how many lengths they've completed so far.

The mid-meet break: The swimmers get a chance to relax and refuel their bodies for a bit during the diving competition in the middle of the meet. Here, Centennial swimmers use their break to support the divers at the competition against home-town rivals, Central as the coaches go to work scoring the dives.

Making adjustments: Anthony Crowder adjusts the bounciness of the diving board when it's his tum to dive. Divers have to adjust the board differently for each specific dive. This was Crowder's first year on the team. He said, "It was great having Waybright as a coach. I had never really thought about diving, but over the summer, someone recognized my talent and suggested that I try it. I'm really glad I joined the team, and it' been a great experience and I plan on diving again next year. Most people don't realize how difficult it is. There are so many things you have to think about: your hurdle, form , body po itioning on the board, and your entry."

Warm-up those shoulders: Joshua Smothers goes through his prerace ritual of stretching, loosening, and warming up his muscles. Many swimmers have a routine to get pumped up and ready to do their best. Back it up: Stephen Whitehill race Âˇ in the I 00 yard backstroke at the Big 12 Championships in Urbana. Whitehill finished first in his event setting a pool record for the new rbana adatorium.

The men's swimming and diving team accompli hed much more than was expected thi year. Losing everal seniors, the Charger had only eight returning swimmers. The reputation of the team as well a the return of Marni Tobin a the coach brought many new athletes to the port. The fairly unexperienced team proved to be trong, finishing with a record of 61 for dual meets. In the championship ea on, the boy fini hed econd in both the Conference and ectional meet .

Dedication, perspiration, and friendship: that is what the Centennial girls basketball team is made of. The key to success is detennination to win and ability to practice hard as a team. With most practices lasting two hours and some going past 9 o'clock in the evening, it is no surprise that this year's team was as successful as they were. A simple phrase at the beginning of each practice such as "earn it", keep the girls motivated to work hard and dominate their competition. Everything is also done as a team. Pregame spaghetti dinners. wearing matching unifom1s to school, and praying before each game are game day rituals. "Katie Roberts (pictured ab ve) always prays for our team before every game. We gather in a circle to get into our competitive state of mind," Sarah Plecki said. The Var ity and Junior Varsity teams were extremely close, which made it all the more fun and challenging to practice together. "Basketball season has been very rewarding this year. We work hard and it pays off during our games. All of the girls are really close on and off the court, which makes our teamwork hard to beat," said player Kari Parkinson. This closeness, once again, allowed the girls to achieve their fourth straight Big 12 championship and an Elite eight birth at state in Bloomington, onnal. The freshman team introduced themselves as a very committed and enthusiastic team, as well. Their practices consist mostly of running and working on plays. It really showed when they played t.
