‘Tm surprlsod at how many types of people I ve be- come friends with so far. -Eric Smith, sophomore Jocks. Punks. Cheer- leaders. Stoners. Trendies. Brains. Over it's short seven- year history, the school had seen them all. While some students remained stead- fastly within the walls of a clique, others explored and mingled ideas with different types of people. Those who did venture beyond their realm found a vast sea of identities on campus. Differences aside, stu- dents converged with their classes. The seniors, as a part of the last four-year class, had been at the bottom of the school both as freshmen and sophomores. Perhaps that was where the strength was gained to help them be- come the most spirited class all four years in a row. Caught with a premature case of senioritis. the junior class was anxious to be at the top. The juniors' appear- ance as sophomores had sprung new life into a school that had seen no change of faces for two long years which resulted in a boost of class confidence. Testing the new surround- ings. the sophomores brought a new variety to the campus in an attempt to TEAM ENTHUSIASM.

The upperclassmen contained their surprise as they witnessed a revolution in sophomore style. As individuals and with their class, students main- tained a sense of self-ex- pression.

dvancing in Art Ever wondered what it would be like to set a dia- mond? Or how about build- ing a ceramics kiln from scratch? Most students nev- er had the chance, but those who took the ad- vanced art classes were giv- en the chance to learn how. Not all art students had a chance to build a kiln or set gems in advanced jewelry, but they were taught skill, technique, and method through the departments comprehensive program. This gave them the ability to produce their own original works with individuality. Stu- dents believed that they learned skills which would aid in the pursuit of a career in the art field. Competition was another aspect of the art program. Students competed with other schools in the National scholastic competition and the State Fair. They also had the chance to show off their creativity and artistic abili- ties during the two art shows held at the school. The art classes were a favorite among students because it gave them a chance to be creative while earning credit and money. Design by Bill Graybill II. Photos by Jason Flegel.
