Smile Day, Wink Day, and Compliment Day, and ever- thoughts popular Hug Day completed the week. Songs such as Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen, You've Got That Look by Prince, and Pretty Woman by Van Halen contributed to the themes to increase student involvement. Student government officers passed Hug Day a warm sign of friendship and love. out smile and Hug passes to circulate through the student body.

But your counselors didn't. They pilanhedg advised, and assisted you throughout the year as you prepared yourself academically. forithe future. For nine months, your life was centered' around critical hours of the educational process. As a senior, you filled your calendar with f'do,or-diet' homework dates for English and AmericanfArizona Governmentl Asa junior, you listened in on how our Founding Fathers established this great nation alongfwith how our private enterprise system worked in today's economy. .And if you.weren't doing any of these, you were probably out on the track doing fiaps in P.E. or calling up the Math Hot-Line to help youjwith that geometry problem that seemed endless. Our academic program offered a large variety of educational interests to suit everyone. With such a school enrollment as ours, students' interests ranged from Performing Arts to Home Economics to Vocational Trades to Business and Mathematics. Others excelled anywhere from R.O.T.C., science, and Reading to Journalism and Foreign Language. And yes, there were those rough moments throughout the year. But without them, you wouldn't have matured or gained the learning experience you now have. Take a moment to reflect on how your Science teacher gave you that extra tutoring. Or how your English teacher stayed after school with you to help you make-up that vocabulary test. All year, your teachers and you were like a team striving to enhance your intelligence. Why all the fuss over just academics? Well, without any of this, we wouldn't be able to have much of a future. ln just a few years, it will be us leading the world into new challenging horizons. So yes, all that hard effort you put in that algebra test or English final will pay off later - more than you'll ever know. Academics. Divider j 43
