Opening Showing their true colors During the school year a feel- ing of pride and unity became ap- parent as students, teachers and administrators worked hard to ex- cel individually and together. Success does not usually come without some failure, but failure can come without success. With this in mind it's important to take every day as a leaming expe- rience. By doing this we become wiser and better prepared for the real world, the world unknown to high school students. Memories of the time spent here will forever shape our lives. The joyous times and the sad times have helped to build charac- ter in each of us. Bold and proud we stand ath- letically and academically letting the llTrue Colors of the school and of ourselves come shining through. The future holds many mys- teries and exciting new challenges in life which will push us to the lim- it. By showing the true colors with- in each of us and believing in our- selves, we can make things hap- pen.

The challenge of the school year may have been too much for some, but as Principal Jim Ekerberg said in his opening remarks to the student body, uAttitude is the Essence of Leamingf' With a lot of enthusiasm behind them, students took full advantage of th eir oppor- tunities to learn by the many interesting classes and pro- jects provided. Teachers used Iield trips as another fundamental of leaming. This gave the stu- dents some hands on ex- 811110 Q6 penence. New courses added were science fiction, writing lab and laser technology. The school calendar was under consideration again. Many people felt the 160 day school year was too short and students were be- ing deprived of class time, while the majority ofthe peo- ple argued that the 160 day school year had the same number of hours but made up for it with longer days. The school board finally compromised and set the '87-88 calendar to consist of 160 days, but having fewer four-day weeks.
