Student. The school year is a race. Competition for academic excellence, organiza- tion offices, and sports teams plays an important place in all students' lives whether they are involved as spectators at a volleyball game or as class officers. Some students have personal races they have to run and have achieved their goals. Some try to be the best in a particular field such as flying a plane or ballet dancing. The vocational students studied Zig Zigler's l'See you at the Top to im- prove the personalities and improve their careers. The first year of the 4 years in high school freshmen begin to set goals for the race. Some want to be class officers or student council senators, others work to achieve the highest grades possible or the highest in band or choir. Sophomores and juniors have run part of the race, but the finish line is still far away. Seniors have almost completed this heat in the race with its many hurdles. After graduation, they will have a whole new heat in the race with college and work. But the race is not serious business all the time. People went out to lunch, cheered at games, cruised the town, and tried their best to have the most fun possible during this race.
