sailors on the S.S. CCI con- tinually pull together to form a team. This work ethic re- lates to all activities through- out their adventure. Even when not in port, the Fighting Owls are working together in the classroom, the gym, or on the field, from the captain of the ship to the newest grade niner. This is why this team rules the high seas!!! This is why we hoist so many names on the Honour Roll or bring home the gold in the form of GB championships. The Fight- ing Owls are not to be reck- oned with on land or water!
