Action, reaction. Choice, consequence. For every
cause, there are many effects that follow. As we reflect
on the past year, we realize that it was our experiences
that caused us to celebrate, to grow, to cry, to laugh.
Our study habits determined our success or failure.
Our dedication to practice caused success on the field
or the stage. Our creativity caused us to open our eyes
to a new world to share with others. Our perspective
helped to fuel our future, determining where we would
stand in the years to come. Mistakes we made taught
us lessons, and an evening with friends created
memories to last a lifetime. All of these reactions came
with an initial base, a background for them to react on,
with, or by. Ultimately, this dynamic of action and
reaction formed around our school as a whole,
engulfing our own lives. The wins and losses, laughs
and tears, atoms and space, filled our perception and
our memories.

At first glance, P. K. Yonge is a small school with a
rich tradition. After taking a deeper look, however, you will
realize that P. K. Yonge is not just a school, but a community
full of bright people with bright futures. Some of us chose to
take high school classes early in 8h grade, and you saw us in
precalculus as seniors. Some of us decided to dual-enroll,
and because of that you didn't see us at lunch. We all
interacted like a family, whether we were in American
Government, at High Tide, at a play, or at an athletic event.
We were brothers and sisters, boyfriends and girlfriends, and
teachers and students. Since our first days at P. K. Yonge, we
had a sense of unity.
As we grew, our bonds became stronger. We went
on weekend road trips, went to Gator football games, went
through trends, experienced spring break, laughed, cried,
fought, and hugged. We forged memories that will last a lifetime.
We all made our choices, and consequently, we all traveled
our own paths. But we were never alone, because at the end
of the day, P. K. Yonge was still a family.

A major part of the tradition of P.K. Yonge was the school spirit that existed
throughout the school year. The student body was constantly dressing in
school colors, whether it was a normal day of classes or a game day.
One popular way of showing school pride was to create class T-
shirts with slang and sayings for each graduating class year. The
ladies of 2005 designed shirts with the saying "we're the ones
Syou won't forget, we're the ones you wanna get, crazy nights,
party live, we're the ladies of 2005." Even the new uniforms
worn by this year's P.E. Students showed school pride by the
display of our school name on the shirts and shorts. Simply
Showing up to support a school athletic team or watching a school
play can be a display of pride for your school. An increase in

Homecoming
Week
Homecoming Week of 2004 brought many laughs and
memories for the students of P.K. Yonge. From dressing up on the
various spirit days to coming out to the homecoming game, students
had different ways of showing their school support. High Tide was a
hit this year, featuring a tear-jerking video of the football seniors, but
providing roars of laughter with a hula-hooping and doughnut eating
contest. Pi Kappa Psi tore up the stage with an impressive step
performance, and the results of the homecoming court was an event
every student had looked forward to all evening. With the energy
created by High Tide, the football team played hard during the game,
though they came up short in the final score. Afterwards, a dance
celebrated school pride. Homecoming Week 2004 was a time to
remember, and a great success.

Stick Together
At some point in time, everyone has someone
that they can call a best friend. It's an unexplainable
chemistry that could last a lifetime. Friendships shape
us and give new meaning to the term "relationship."
We all know these friendships in some way.
Girls get a shoulder to cry on and a new shopping
buddy. Guys have someone to watch the game and
blow stuff up with. When the two genders collide for
a friendship, the possibilities are endless. From
endless laughter and good times created, to numerous
tears shed and things we'd like to forget, friends are
always there to support each other. As the years go
by, we will always be able to look at the times we
shared with our friends here at P.K. Yonge.
Everyone loves to have a good time, and
these times just happen to be better when you have
someone to share it with. Whether it be a boyfriend
or a girlfriend, or just a good friend, we all have that
special person that we have stuck together with
throughout the years that made everything just a little
more easy to deal with.

WVVe are F ami ly on Campus
My sister and I have a love-hate relationship. When we were younger, hair was pulled, cheeks were turned red from slaps,
scratches were adorned on our arms from digging fingernails into each other's skin. We used to fight, and we'd fight hard. When I was
younger, I'd wish I had a little brother- I didn't even call my sister by her given name until she was two months old because I wanted a
little brother so bad. She'd follow me everywhere, picking at me until I'd slap her. We would fight over everything- from who got to ride up
front in the car, to who got to hold the hamster first, even if we were "to close to each other" we'd argue. Now that I am older, I am thankful
that my sister was brought into this world. Yes, there are still screaming matches and slamming doors, but we have learned to appreciate
one another. There is no greater friend in this world that I have then her.
I like to think that many siblings share me and my sister's relationship. There are fights, there's the pushing and yelling that
comes along with having a sibling, but I wouldn't trade any tear, any cut, any punch for the relationship that we have now. Siblings are
always there to lend a hand when we need help, a shoulder when we need support, or an ear when we have to much on our mind to fall
asleep. When the rest of the world seems to shut me out, my sister is the only person I can truly depend on. I can't tell you how many times
I still come crying to my little sister at three in the morning for advice. We are always there for each other, whether it be for a hug, to share
the latest gossip with, or to go out with on the weekend. Siblings teach us how to be better people, and my sister and I look up to each
other to better ourselves. Our mom used to tell us that we'd be thankful for each other as we got older, and 10 years ago, I laughed in her
face. But today, I'm glad to have my sister- my sibling, my psychiatrist, my teammate, and my best friend. Although disagreements will
arise, nothing can come between the love of two siblings, and over the years, I have found this to be true. -Alison Posey

This year Florida felt the effect of...
Nature's
Wrath
When the 2004-2005 school year kicked off on August 171, it was
quickly marred by missed days and altered schedules. Because of the effects
of Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne, there were three official
"Hurricane Days", which we didn't have to make up, and countless students
had to endure several days of attendance without power at home. Families
were left with destroyed property which took weeks to clean up. All over the
city, trees were tossed over like toothpicks, and water flooded parking lots.
Home Depot on Tower Road's parking lot was turned into a lake as water
overflowed a nearby retention pond.
Mr. Miller, a first-year Government and Economics teacher, missed
several school days because he was on active duty in the National Guard.
"Upon being called up for Hurricane duty, my first thought was one of panic.
Once I arrived on the scene of each hurricane, I quickly realized television
doesn't show how much these storms hurt people," said Mr. Miller, describing
the damage.
"The last seven weeks have been extremely difficult, as Florida
endured the devastation of four deadly storms," said Governor Jeb Bush.
According to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), more than
$1,027,000,000 in federal aid has been approved in the state of Florida alone.

Beyond the Classroom
When that final school bell rings at 2:40, students scurry out of the
school. Finally, free at last from the four walls of the classroom, free to do
whatever they wish. Whether it be going home and watching TV, pigging
out on candy and soda, or hustling around the softball field, giving that two
hour practice their heart, soul, and sweat.
Out of school is where P.K. Yonge students thrive, where they excel
at extracurricular activities. Many students found themselves rehearsing for
hours at a time for plays, such as 'Holiday Souvenirs.' Their hard work and
dedication payed off, as the play was a huge success. Other students found
themselves staying after school to make-up assignments they missed while
absent. After school hours were always buzzing with activity, with teachers
running around campus as well. Many teachers stayed long hours after
school conducting club meetings. Many clubs had to meet after school in
part to the split lunch that was introduced this year. Students also learned the
value of a job, as many were learning the ropes in the work force. A walk
around the mall showed many familiar faces, with students working at the
various kiosks in the mall, as well as Hollister and JCPenny.
From athletic practices to jobs, after school hours were always alive
with life. Out of school is where P.K. Yonge students really showed their
true colors, where they thrived, and where they were truly enjoying
themselves.

It's a clear statement that when students need to know what's in, we turn to each
other. P.K. Yonge has always been at the top of the fashion charts when it comes to
knowing how to dress, and we get our keen sense from the world around us. We are
influenced by magazines, television, movie stars, and even closer to home the University
of Florida.
"I notice what my older sister wears," stated freshmen Ashley Lansberry. "She
notices what's hot around college campuses, so I just pick up on that." From off the
shoulder tees to jeans, from sunglasses and Louis Vuitton backpacks, to the growing
popularity of the "livestrong" Lance Armstrong bracelets, P.K. Yonge students knew how to
dress and show off their keen sense of fashion. One look down the hallways of the school
showed the tiniest middle schooler
eyeing upperclassmen for fashion ideas
to the oldest senior sporting their more
sophisticated looks, and each and every
one of us dressing to impress in between.

Socializing
Part of Tradition
Students at P.K. Yonge are known for their
amazing skill to socialize. Each student has his own group
of friends who he can trust completely. Students socialize
about everything, ranging from the latest gossip to what
happened to them over the weekend. Although we are
supposed to go to school just to learn, we also use school
as a way to express ourselves. We do so through the
subjects in which we choose to socialize about. P.K. Yonge
has many clubs that meet which are used to show our
different opinions and beliefs. Our political club gives
students the opportunity to tell other students how they feel
about certain issues. S.A.D.D club is made up of students
voicing their opinions about teenagers that make
destructive decisions and trying to influence these students
into making positive ones.
Socializing is one of the first skills that we learn as
children. School is the perfect place to practice these skills
to make them stronger for when we are adults. This
interaction with other students helps us as people because it
enables us to learn from different situations and gain
experience for future conflicts. Every aspect of socializing
impacts our lives in some way. Whether it makes us laugh
or it makes us cry, we gain memories and the experience
that will last a lifetime.

singing a few traditional Christmas holiday songs and some songs not

popular children's' cartoons such as "Charlie Brown's Christmas." These
scenes brought back memories for many of the audience members and
forced a few laughs upon the crowd with the dancing of a few characters.
School plays are instantly becoming a huge part of the schools'
tradition. P. K. Yonge has slowly begun its transition to a magnet school
for many areas other than how people know it though its reputation for
sports. Performances through the next few years are expected to bring
new crowds expecting a great show, and they shall not be disappointed.

"Keeping

Fcsenliar
Sometimes, students just become...
Stressed
Out
Finding a way to keep your cool in difficult situations is essential to the
every day life of a high schooler. Each new day brings about more homework,
more projects, and more material to cram in your brain for the next quiz or test.
Stress can be a major cause of the hate and/or dislike some students have developed
towards school. Necessary to every student is an outlet that allows them to get
away from the work they need to complete in order to maintain a good grade in
their classes. These outlets can be a sport that they play in or out of school, it
could be fishing, writing, singing, dancing, guitar, paintball, just about any activity
that is done either as a hobby or for fun. These activities relieve the stress that
can other wise build up and cause students to have bad attitudes and moods
towards teachers and other students and could cause the students to end up in
trouble like In School Suspension. In-class stress relievers can include the comical
stylings of fellow classmates, small jokes can often relax people during tense
tests and lectures. The many ways that the student body at P.K. Yonge deals with
stress is one characteristic that makes our school stand out.

Taking It All In
Senior year: Did we do as well as we could? Did we perform to the best of our ability?
Did we cherish every moment, knowing that these were our last days before the real
world threw itself into our lives? The past four years have defined us, shaped us into
the adults we have become. Creativity, athleticism, hard work, and dedication are
qualities we've gained, what we've flourished in.
Reflect on the first day of freshmen year. Remember that nervous feeling that somehow
brought a huge smile to your face? Finally, high school. Those years that your parents
have called "the best years of your life." We quickly learned our way around, we
learned our place at P.K. Yonge, adjusting well and meeting new friends. Through
trying times, we stuck together. Through smiles and laughs, we shared the good times.
It all has gone so fast, the years have flown by. Now, as the end of the year approaches,
we must take in every moment with the utmost care, holding onto each memory ever
so gently, not wanting to break it.
We have grown up in our short time here at P.K. Yonge, and we must never forget
what we have learned. Through everything, we must remember who we are, we must
remember where we have come from, and we must cherish every memory we have
made along the way. We are the Class of 2005, and we truly are too good to be
forgotten. If we only remember one thing as we leave our time here at P.K. Yonge, let
it be that.

The
End...
The end of a journey. For over a decade now, we've
experienced it all from classes that kept us up all night
studying, to essays that we scribbled minutes before class
began, and field trips that created memories to last us a
lifetime, to athletic events that kept us on the edge of our
seats, and drama performances that kept us entertained. As
we graduated and received our diplomas, we reflected on
the good times, the bad times, the times we'd like to forget,
and the times that we'll never forget. Through it all, we
stuck together, helped each other in times of need and lent
a hand when desperate times approached. Through
everything, we never forgot where we came from.
The road ended for us as our time here at P.K. Yonge was
complete. We ventured onto new roads and came across
new challenges and experienced new things, but we all have
started from the same street: P.K. Yonge. We have been
strong and traveled with spirit. We have remembered our
roots, our foundation, the pavement on which our road
began. The future is something we can mold, something we
can shape into what our heart desires, and our past has
helped define who we are. Initial reactions. School is that
spot upon which we began our journeys. P.K. Yonge will
remain a part of us. Some of us ventured on, while others
stayed close to home. All of us will keep our class tradition
strong. All of us will keep our pride going.

As I think about my very first days at P.K. in kindergarten, I remember
how great it was. I counted on my hands to seven, after the first day of
school I had already made seven new friends, which was only a
glimmer of what was to come. By the end of the 1993 school year, the
class of 2005 had officially begun their legacy. Throughout elementary
school, many memories were made. At the end of our fifth grade year, I
recall how saddened I was because friends who I vowed would be my
"best friends forever" were now leaving to go to different middle
schools. "Crossing the Creek" was one of the most exciting times. It
meant more freedom and meeting new friends. Through the completion
of the earliest chapter in our lives, a tight knit group of us stuck
together and welcomed the newcomers. Middle school made us grow
up as well. With the death of Mrs. Stocker, we learned about "grown-
up" issues. Memories such as Camp Kulaqua, the social, and Mr. Steele
were created. High School brought on new changes, but our bond still
stood strong. No matter how many friends I've made, the lifers will
always have a special
place in my heart. For
thirteen years, they have
been my family. P.K. has
been our home for so
long, and as we move on,
we will never forget what

Almost There...
It is something amazing to turn around and see
a whole year fall behind you. It is something amazing to
look back at what you used to do, and who you used
to be, and know that now you are different.
Throughout our lives, we all have choices, and with
each choice comes a consequence. Today now, new
choices face us new challenges and dreams and fears,
as our old ones fade into the past of our junior lives.
What does it mean to be almost there? Does it mean
we are finally the oldest, finally the wisest, finally the
ones with the most yearbook pages dedicated to their
cause? With growth comes responsibility. With depth,
comes the challenge of filling a gaping hole.
We have proven to ourselves, we have proven
4 to this school that we are ready for the challenges that
await us. The SATs, college interviews, applications
Oand deadlines all lay before us, along with the promise
in this world that with dedication comes satisfaction.
Look back onjunior year with a smile and a tear;
Leaving something behind means you are going
m u I someplace else. This is a class of dreamers, a class of
thinkers, and a class of doers. We can make anything
happen, and while we may not know where it is we are
headed, it is certain we know where we have been.

Prom
Precision and Dedication
Prom is a big production put on every year by
the Juniors. They come up with the theme, raise
money, and plan everything from the location to the
decorations. A long process, prom is something that
takes months and months to produce. At the
beginning of the year, anyone who wanted to be
involved came to a meeting and from there, the
planning began. Deciding on a theme and raising
money came next. The Junior class worked hard to
make this year a prom to remember for years to
come.
"I just want this year to be really pretty, and
I want everyone to be happy with it," stated Angela
Scott, a key member of the prom committee. "I
want this prom to be one that everyone remembers
and comes back to school talking about."
With such a strong team working behind
prom, it was no wonder that this year's prom was a
success. Long hours, arguing, and months of
planning turned out to benefit for the team. This
year's sponsor, Mr. Dittmar, was impressed at the
work the committee put in.
"Compared to last year's committee, there
are a lot more people who are actively involved,"
he stated. "They've raised an incredible amount of
money and are doing their best to incorporate
everyone's, including other juniors and seniors,
ideas into prom."
Through the arguing, precision and
dedication benefitted in the end. Prom was a
success for everyone, and one to remember for all
that went.

Speaking
above:
Mr. Anderson was a key
promoter in student's voicing
their opinions.As teacher of
the leadership class, his main
concern was to get student
voice out to the
administration.
I-
...for a better future
In today's day and age, we as students have
been taught to speak out, to voice our opinions. With
the presidential election being a key debate at school
and across the nation, it's no wonder students have
become so passionate with their opinions.
"Being so involved in the 2004 presidential
election has taught me a lot about freedom of speech
and the passion people have for the issues. I believe
so much in the value of democracy and the voices of
people," said Ariana Ervin, who took part in signing
: up seniors to vote. New to PK. this year was the
political club. Students were sponsored by Mr.
Anderson, who has always believed in student voice
at P.K. Students appreciated Mr. Anderson's concern
for their voices to be heard.
"We don't have enough freedom of speech here at
P.K. because I can't say the things I wish to say in this quote without feeling
uncomfortable," Josh Consenza stated. Political club helped students feel more
at ease with their beliefs.
"Being a minority in this school is tough, but it is important to express
your political opinion," said Jason Palmquist on being a republican at P.K. By
becoming more comfortable "in thier own skin" students build for better
futures. With the future of our country in the hands of our students today, it's
important to recongize what they feel, and at PK. we're starting to recognize
that.

Things That Shape Us
There are events in
many teenagers' lives that
make them who they are
in their adult years. When
I was thirteen years
old, my friend killed
herself. She was a
multiple drug addict
and had made
numerous suicide
attempts. This was
the reason that I didn't
really take her too
seriously when she had
told me she wanted to do
away with her life.
October 23rd, 2001
Melissa took her life in
front of me. She shot
herself in the head. I could
relate to her situation. I
know one of the reasons
Melissa killed herself was
because she couldn't stop
the drugs. She was my
best friend and like a sister
to me and in a matter of
seconds, she
% as gone.
The
images
of her
have
burned
in my
memory.
I see
them in
my dreams
and during the
day. People say I'm crazy
when I swear I see her
walking around my
neighborhood, but I know
she's there watching over
me.
When I was
involved in the things she
was while she was alive, I
had trouble in school, with
my friends and my family,
once so close to me, was
now becoming my enemy
and slipping away. I don't
blame Melissa for this, but
rather I thank her for her
words of wisdom before
she went.
She told me that I
had to go and fix what was
wrong in my life. She said
that she would be looking
after me even after she was
gone and making sure
everything worked out for
the better.
I urge you all to not
discriminate and to
understand what's
happening in our world.
Melissa was a bisexual and
our close guy friend was
gay. I later found out that
the main reason the two
took their own lives was
because they were made
fun of, beaten, and
slandered for their sexual
preference.
I loved Melissa
and she loved me and I
hope and pray everyday
that her spirit will live on
because despite her faults,
she was an amazing,
wonderful, talented and
beautiful girl that was
simply put upon, hurt, and
felt unloved. But I loved
her and I wish I had
expressed that to more
often. Let the people that
you love, know that you
love them. You never
know if you'll be able to
tell them again.

Yun-Jung Yang is an
exchange student
from South Korea.
She has trouble
understanding
English but not
nearly as much as
we would have
understanding
Korean. Yun is shy
and soft spoken but she is
always making friends. She says
that the Korean system of
education is very different.
They do not switch classes
and they all eat the same
lunch. She commented
that the American system
allows for more self
expression. The school is
easier here but its still hard
to understand English. If she
could say one thing to all of her
friends here she would say "Hi".

Fduc iaton revisited...
The sophomore year at P. K. Yonge for many meant a
new level of respect as students entered their second year of high
school. No long the bottom rung of any ladder this years
sophomores showed off finally earned drivers license and in
some pockets the jingle of car keys could be herd. But driving
wasn't the only thing on sophomore minds this year as they
faced new academic hardships and new teachers. But far from
running from these new obstacles in life, the 10th graders at P.K.
Yonge overcame everything thrown at them including Mrs.
Ruszczyk's crazy and english papers and Mr. Fabulich's rigorous
history class. But aside from the normal school classes the class
of '07 Also had to deal with the PSAT and, for the final time of
their lives, the FCAT.
But the sophomore life this year wasn't all work. Tenth
graders enjoyed a relaxing and fun-filled trip to Camp Kalaqua
where students experienced a "bonding" low-ropes course and
"The Blob".
Many tenth grade couples could be seen flirting around
the halls of P.K. Yonge. Serious relationships blossomed this
year as "puppy love" flowed through the school as naturally as a
bird in the sky.
i Thoughts of the future began creeping into the heads of
the class of '07 as they began to realize their comfortable,
structured world was steadily moving towards one that contained
only as much structure as they gave it. Though this was still
Several years away, the mix of excitement and trepidation of true
independence had a presence in the sophomore minds.

As one door doses ...
0 0 A new school, new teachers, and new peers can be
intimidating to anyone. Freshmen know this experience the best
South of all students, as they are making the switch from being the
oldest at their middle school to the youngest once again. Grades
actually begin to count, and FCAT was a priority as students
learned they needed a certain score to graduate in four years.
Many were nervous their first day of school, but all had
some sort of excitement as they were willing to begin the four
year journey known as high school. As the door of middle school
closed, another one, bigger and more inviting, was waiting to
opened. Students were ready to finally reach high school, ready to
create memories and make frienships that would forever be
remembered.
"I think the most exciting thing about high school is all the
new students coming in," said Corey Forehand. "I'm ready to
meet some girls!" Many students, both boy and girl alike, were
ready for a new atmosphere. This year's freshmen class had many
new students from all over, which was a nice change for lifers
such as Cody Alford.
"It's refreshing from seeing all the old faces I've seen for
so long," he reflected. "It's nice to meet new people since I've
been going to school here forever."
As the freshmen class continues to grow, many things will
be learned and many memories will be created. Starting fresh is
exciting, and high school is an experience that one will remember
forever, and P.K. is exactly the place to start.

From Big Fish
-o Lifftle Fish
Some say that ninth grade is a student's hardest
year in school. Not only are they making a switch from
middle to high school, but they are also making a switch
from being the biggest fish in the middle school pond, to
the little fish as a freshman. The workload increases,
classes are harder, and field trips are less frequent.
School actually means something now, and students find
that they have to pay attention more than in previous James Handley Katherine Harris Mohammad Hasan
years.
"Grades count more than in middle school. I
have to study more to get good grades," stated Brittany
Posey. "I've realized that how I do now will affect me in
my decisions in the future." Posey switched from
Lincoln Middle School, but many freshmen at P.K. found
themselves right at home their first day of school.
"Being at P.K. since sixth grade made it easier
for me my first day," stated Marissa Lovvorn. "I already
knew the students and the teachers, so my first day was Laurel Higman Charles Hogan John Honeycutt
a lot easier than some new students."
Being a freshmen is an experience, but one
students shouldn't take for granted. High school goes by
so fast, and in time,-many of those "little fish" who
thought their first year was so hard and so long will
realize that ninth grade is just the beginning to their
future, and that they once again will be a "big fish"
sooner than they think.

High school dreams and
stranger things...
Eighth grade was one of the most transitional years of our
academic career. All throughout middle school, we looked up to the
upper classmen here on the P.K. campus. In eighth grade, we were one
step closer to being in their shoes.
Many looked at this year as the beginning of new experiences
while others, lifers especially, may have looked at it as the end of a
lifelong experience. Many have attended P.K. for so long, it's hard to
think of them leaving.
All in all, eighth grade was something to look forward to. Many
say the best part of the year is the eighth grade social. It's the next best
thing to a prom. It was a time for the class of 2009 to come together and
celebrate their final year of middle school.
"I can wear a fancy dress and get all dolled up," said Alicia
Hernandez.
Many seventh graders are ecstatic to think of themselves as being
the "top dogs" of middle school in the upcoming year. Along with the
excitement of being an eighth grader came a lot of responsibility.
"I look forward to going to high school but I would like to make
the best of my last year of middle school," said Andrew Fraser.
The transformation from middle to high school is both a personal
and academic change.
"I'm beginning to realize how important it is to do my homework
every night and keep up with my grades," stated Karina Rivera.
High school is a big step to take but can also be the best four
years of your life. Make the best of it class of 2009!

WHAT MAKES THE CLASS
OF 2009 UNIQUE?
"The class of 2009 plays hard, has a good time, and is
extremely competitive. I enjoy working with these kids
becasue both the boys and girls are very athletic. The best
part of them being eigth graders is the fact that they aren't in
9th grade yet."
Coach Powers
"The majority of our class is planning on coming back
next year and everyone gets along, for the most part. So,
I'm looking forward to spending my freshman year with
the same people I went to middle school with."
-Erika Stuckman
"I think our class really stands out simply because we
know how to have fun. We make the best of all the middle
school events like the dances, field trips,and even sports
events. Our class knows how to really come together."

Seventh graders often felt in the middle, not being the
youngest anymore, yet not the oldest as well. This year, the feeling
was no different, but these youngsters made the best of the year. An
increased work-load was felt by many students, and seventh graders
had to learn to budget their time more efficiently.
"Teachers expected more out of us," stated Kayleigh Estes.
"There's a lot more work in seventh grade than in sixth grade."
Although some students struggled with the adjustment, it resulted in
making these young students blossom like flowers, growing with
each new experience. They made new friends, learned more about
middle school life, and being a little older helped them adapt easier
this year.
"I don't feel as young anymore," said Hailey Goetz.
Referring the beginning of the year "bonding trip" each grade level
takes, she stated, "Camp Kulaqua was more entertaining this year.
We knew everyone and had a really good time." The most important
thing on a young middle schoolers name, however, is that point on
the horizon where they are finally on top- 8th grade.
"I look forward to the dances and socials," Athena Gravois
said with a smile. Many students felt the same way, and some had
even higher hopes with the thought of high school finally within sight.
"The thing I'm most excited about being in 8th grade is that
I'm one year away from high school," stated Kathryn Craig.
Seventh grade proved a challenge, but also a time that many
students looked forward, because being "stuck in the middle" meant
being that much closer to finally being on top.

A new road begins...
Sixth graders, the youngest group of students, spent the year
finding out their role as they traveled walkways of P.K. At the beginning
of the year, many were nervous about their first days after "crossing the
creek." Some were excited, finally walking amongst older students. A
new road began, paving the way to being older and more intelligent.
Switching classes was a change from elementary school, and
many liked the new element of block scheduling.
"The changing of classes was a change because in elementary
school we had two teachers, and now we switch every hour," stated
Charity Rowe.
Holding a locker a carrying around books was a burden to older
students, but young sixth graders often felt more responsible as they
continued their studies.
"I feel older because there is more responsibility. We have more
homework and they give us more freedom because we're more mature,"
said Ariel Wilson.
P.K. Yonge is a unique school in the sense that starting in sixth
grade, students can compete in sports at the varsity level. Young athletes
got a chance to be included in sports, and practicing with older students
was an excellent learning experience for young athletes.
"We get to do more things by playing sports in school," said
Jacquise Bivens.
"I run Cross Country and I like being in sports because you get to
travel," agreed Jamie Dunnell. "We experience things by traveling that
other people in that sport don't get to."
Starting middle school proved to be a big change, but was
embraced by all students. By feeling older and being able to finally feel a
part of school, the sixth graders seem to be off on the right foot to great
years to come at P.K.

Making V Work
They are the only ones here before school starts, and
they are the last to leave when that last bell rings. P.K.
Yonge has a dynamic faculty, one that works hard day in
and day out to provide for the students. Teachers share their
knowledge with students of all ages, allowing them to grow
and flourish. The maintenance crew makes sure that the
., campus is clean, picking up without complaint the mess that
students leave behind. Athletic coaches push their teams to
succeed, making sure they work to their full potential.
Without the faculty, P.K. Yonge would cease to exist as what
students know it as.
With new teachers providing a fresh face at school
-- and more experienced teachers keeping tradition, students
quickly learned what classes were more of a challenge, and
what classes had a more laid back atmosphere. With the
challenge of controlling unruly students, the faculty kept
'i their cool and made the year an exciting one.
As the final bell rings on the last day of school, and
Sthe seniors walk out of the halls for the very last time, the
., faculty will always remain steadfast in the building. For they
are the ones who run P.K. Yonge, making it possible for
students to learn, grow, and flourish as we take on the world
,;around us.

Sports were, and always will be a huge part of the P.K.
Yonge society. No matter if you made the game winning score
or if you were just the person on the sideline cheering the team
on, you were an important part of the Blue Wave. Playing sports
took hard work, dedication and the ability to focus in order to
play and succeed.
Another way the sports at P.K. were different was the
participation of the younger students. PK. was unique because
every student from sixth grade to twelfth grade could play on the
same team. Some might say that this was unfair, that the younger
players might not get all the opportunities that the older ones get,
however at P.K., some of the middle schoolers were an essential
part of any team.
Participating in athletics helped release energy, build
friendships and most importantly, it allowed us to have fun and
forget all the stress that our everyday lives had to bring.
Most schools, wherever you go, focus mainly on their
football team, whereas at P.K. the football team played a big
role, but was not the only sport that got recognition. But, every
sport at P.K. got the spotlight. If you went to any game,
everyone could see that every sport, in it's own, had it's
multitude of supporters.
The athletes on the next few pages have spent their time
dedicated to the sport they play. Over the months, they have
made friendships, laughed, cried, and celebrated together. That
was what makes the Blue Wave sports what it has become.
When it comes to sports in general PK. had a tradition
to carry out from the past years of greatness, but no matter how
many seniors we lost and how many players got injured the
players always come through for the fans in the end.

~Trey Rapczak
Blue Wave Fans
It comes from within, somewhere deep inside the heart and
soul of the Blue Wave fans. It's what brings out the blue and orange
clothes, beads, hats, and facepaint. It's what brings the young and the
old, the teachers and the students, and everything in between. It's the
spirit of the Blue Wave.
No matter what sport, big or small, the Blue Wave fans are
always there rooting the teams on. Whether in a hot gym sweating
or in the stands during a soccer game in freezing temperatures, the
fans come from all over to show their true colors.
Nothing can stop them from doing what vig emory
they love. They are parents,
grandparents, friends, siblings,
girlfriends and boyfriends. These are
the people that inspire athletes to do
their best, and always try their
hardest. They are the backbone of
the sports programs at P.K. The fans
are behind the athletes 100 percent. 87 J
Without them, the stands would be
silent, with no
emotions running
free. They contain the
spirit that
sets P.K. apart from other
schools. They are the spirit behind the sports.

BIgtzing in wdith the Tide
Every year the P. K. Yonge Varsity Football Team is faced with new
challenges, higher goals, and tougher opponents. Seniors graduate, students
transfer, and injuries definitely happen. We always seem to be filled with
/- P ; :problems, but we also always seem to pull out something great. Since we are
small, other schools looked at as untalented, small in size, and young in age, but
here at P.K., we used these assumptions to make us better. Varsity head coach
John Clifford loved this game and helped students learn the finer points of
football. Many players got a taste of varsity competition as underclassmen, which
helped them as they got older. We have the skill, and the pure talent, and with
Coach Clifford we have the coaching to succeed, despite the difficulties.
Jesse Hughes, a senior linebacker and fullback said, "The season was a
hard one because of the injuries and tough schedule, but we stuck together and
got better with practice, and did things we weren't expected to do." The
upperclassmen played a major role in the success, but with injuries, and transfers,
younger players matured and stepped up to the next level.
Midway through the season, the players faced Florida High, the Florida
State University Lab School, which is the game of the season. It was a classic
game between research schools for the Director's Trophy, and bragging rights for
until the next game. P.K. Yonge rushed at them at full speed and came out with
the big win for the first time in two years.
This season had many ups and downs, but the Blue Wave varsity football
team stuck together through it all. The coaching staff of the Blue Wave football
team had high goals and great talent; the recipe for success. With many injuries
pulling the team down, they have shown they have the heart and will to prevail.
