The student body was full of unique hairstyles, sixty stylin' streetwear, and many other blasts from the past. Student Life was not just what students were wearing, but also what they were doing. School took up most of students' time but life did not end when the final bell rang or when the last homework assign¬ ment was completed. Friday was something students definitely looked forward to enjoying. So what did they do on the weekends? There was usually an athletic event on Friday nights followed by a string of parties and/or hanging out at local fast food places. On Saturdays it was not hard to find where all the action was or the happenin' place where everyone chilled. Sunday was the inevitable reminder that Monday morning was right around the corner. Students could be found at Chinn Library trying to finish last minute projects, studying, and catching up on the latest juicy gossip. The feeling of freedom in the air, the senior spirit everywhere, and the weekend plans to the hottest hangouts were on the minds of the student body. Life outside the School of Champions meant freedom and indeoendence. - Michelle Snow "Student | life at Gar-Field is interesting be- ause there are many challenges, that have to 'lay V. football is a great honor because not nany people have the opportunity to play, nuch less start."- Brian Embrey t’s Hard to Say Good-bye Long awaited, sometimes dreaded c raduation was a milestone in the life of any student.

After graduation students went their separate ways: either to college, to more schooling, work, or off to fulfill their dreams. "Graduation was sad because my friends were leaving. I was happy at the time because my four years of hard work were over and I was starting the rest of my life, " stated Jennifer Laramie. The theme of Andrea Roane's speech, " Extraordinarily Ordinary People" served as an inspiration for the Seniors to achieve their goals. One Senior Sponsor Mr. Steve Sawyer, described the class of 1993," The class of 1993 had good leadership, they set goals and achieved them. They were hard workers and still were a lot of fun. The class of 1993 was an example of what real Gar-Field Indians should be.
