Culler's Ninth Grade Cross Country team had several high points. First, the 1981 team had the most girls on it in Culler history, which included Kim Hoffman, Mary Davis, and Cindy Hansen. Another was the consistency of Bill Bundy's running, who finished third or fourth in every race. The highlight of the year was when Bryan Smolik outraced everyone in the city in recording a 10 minute 12 second time in the 3000 meter run. This run broke the city record and set the Pioneer Park course record.
Girls' Basketball
Varsity
After getting off to a slow start, the ninth grade girls' varsity basketball team eventually put together what turned out to be a very good season. Finishing the year with 6 wins and 2 losses, the Culler girls were able to claim second place in the city Considering that the "two losses were by a combined total of only 5 points, it was a very rewarding and enjoyable year.
Important team contributions were made by Jenny Woodward (leading scorer), Tammy Waterman (leading rebounder), Angie Cunningham (second in scoring, third in rebounding), Debbie Ahlquist (second in rebounding, third in scoring), and Deb Jones (second in scoring). Other girls who made significant contributions to the team effort were Teresa Swoboda, Lori Svendsen, Kathy Bates, and Yolanda Moss.
Congratulations to all of these individuals on a fine season.

Vocal ·Music
Is everyone ready to sing?
Vocal Music has two primary functions - singing and performance. Two, three, and four part singing is done in most of the classes, and each semester at least one public performance is given. Music fundamentals and appreciation of various music styles are studied. Often a musical play will be presented.
This year two small vocal groups are open by audition to eighth and ninth graders. They rehearse after school and make public appearances in the community throughout the year.
The 8th and 9th grade girls performed at the Winter Concert
The Carousels performed many times during the school year.

Student Council
The Student Council at Culler is made up of four members from the seventh grade, four members from the eighth grade, and five members from the ninth grade. The Student Council gets the music and refreshments for the school dances along with making the decorations and selling the tickets. The Council uses the money from the dances to make small improvements to the school building. Student Council is sponsored by Mrs. Becker and Mrs. Outson. They talk with the rest of the school teachers and administration and provide leadership and suggestions.

Yearbook
Oh, what a feeling!
Yearbook is a first semester class held during sixth period. We have five photographers and thirteen staff members. The Yearbook staff does layouts and writes copy. Photographers process the film and print it. Several staff members help with the typing. Everyone is assigned pages that they are responsible for, but everyone helps each other.
