QLZEEFQJDEE .MB l l l With all of the people walking around on campus with their new wave clothing and their hair dyed three different colors, it seems hard to say we lacked individualism. Yet when it's lunch time, your friends meet at your locker and ask, Where we going to go today? Then you all end up at McDonald's because everyone else goes there. But no one can afford it or some really wanted Mexican food to start with. The true individualist would have stated where he wanted to go and let the others decide if they wanted to follow. lndividualism is an important characteristic bestowed upon every 1. M to receive diplomas during the out- door graduation ceremony at Cou- gar Stadium. This year's graduating class is even larger, as the popula- tion of Casa Grande continues to grow with the addition of a number of new light industrial plants in the area. person on this planet. It is the ability to do one's own thing for one's own benefit and pleasure. Most of us like to think we're different enough from the rest to follow the beat of a different drummer, but all too often we change our values and opin- ions to please our friends and to become socially acceptable. As Ralph Waldo Em- erson said, Whose should be a man, must be a nonconformistf' He and many others, including Henry David Thoreau, believed in a theory called transcedenta- lism, which stressed the extreme necessi- ty of individual freedom and expression. Perhaps they were a bit overdemanding with their beliefs. However, what they said makes a lot of sense. The individual is often scoffed at or ridiculed until he is recognized at what he does. Our every-day lifestyles need more individual expression than is shown. The theme of this year's Cougar Annual is be yourself and we would like to encourage more people to take part in more events, make more decisions, and overall not to be afraid to do what they want. .4-fi 1 smrnz INSME Q, ' ,wg ' .. i -f as . .4 5- - - 1 ', tv o --...x g rm VW Ax i L'7'I ' N A Some students utilize the few minutes before class begins to review notes.
