The football game starts with a kick off and four quarters later it finishes with a Mariner Victory! From Start to Finish. Freshman year starts off with many scared, nervous students, then three years later they're self-assured seniors, walking across the stage with a diploma in hand. From Start to Finish. From Start to Finish can be seen not only in daily activities, but throughout our entire high school career. Everything we do has a begining and an end. Whether it be our 6th hour literature class or our sophomore year, we are constantly starting new adventures and ending old ones. In between, we learn, we change, we cry and we laugh. The 2005-2006 Mariner Yearb ook focuses on our beginnings, our endings and everything in between. The good, the bad, the difficult and especially the fun, are all here for us to remember high school From Start to Finish.
