It is late August of 1979 and the doors of Columbus Senior High open to receive it’s students and hand them their new schedules. Excited and a little bit wary kids filter through the doors, then talk to people they haven’t seen since last Spring. People start to swing into the everyday grind at CHS and go through the same old motions, but are things really the same? Think about it for a minute. Whether people have realized it or not things have changed and life will never be exactly the same as it was last year, last week or even an hour ago. The world has different opinions and problems than it used to. New inventions and ideas change your lifestyle right down to your own job or the car you drive. These new things have changed you, changed your philosophies and broadened your horizons. Life is full of changes as it is an ongoing process and so faceted that it would be almost impossible not to change in at least one way. This process should not be viewed as entirely negative as it is a constant chance for a new beginning. In broadening our horizons and knowledge, education is a very important avenue of change. We begin school after being on this earth for four or five years, and remain in an education system until at least age sixteen and most remain to graduate from high school at eighteen. Then some of us will continue our education, maybe not right after graduation but sometime down the road to better ourselves and or job knowledge. High school is probably the most important time for changes for it is here that we become really aware of TOP: Mr. Waas updates his calendar for the month of May in the English office. MIODLE: Tom Sackett concentrates on controlling his opponent. LEFT: Steve Buresh demonstrates his weightlifting mime during Thespian Initiation Week. 2 Opening
