MEMORIES Remembering our times of fear and pain. Each year thinking more for us to gain. From freshmen to seniors, we believed it all No longer under classmen -8 7- our call. Acceptance of lost friendships and new found loves Getting ready to fly like newborn doves. Soon, we are going to face a world of hope Learning by our mistakes and learning to cope Forever in our minds, McLane will stand Always a part of an undying clan The sheer happiness of victory and sadness of defeat Our vital spirit, that none could beat. Flowing freely that banner of red and white Urging us to succeed and never give up the Hght Never in our likes will we forget our friends Personal secrets kept until the rainbows end Strength and caring have made a change Setting forth our minds to a wider range Never again will we experience so much, Four years of having that Highlander touch lt's time to say goodbye and farewell Adulthood has come, and soon all will be well Our hours of play have come to an end Never will we forget McLane, our friend. BY STAC EY SAUL That flies ABSTRACT BY JOHN HAMM SKATER BY DAMON JURIQUE THERE IS A TIME TO COME AND THERE IS A TIME TO GO There is a time to come, And there is a time to go. When we came, we came with an empty hand, Like the new born babies. We cried for knowledge like Eve ln the Garden of Eden. We committed ourselves to the teachers Like lambs humble themselves before their sheperd We learned what we can, And we did what we had to do. When we go, we 'll go with full hands. We 'll go with wisdom and knowledge Like the now-grown eagle away with its full Strength. Our tears will drop when we leave our old nest, But we shall find a new one. For that is our purpose in life.

AS THE END WAS COMING The endless weekends of restless work interrupted my emotional traumas. Involuntarily, I 'd wake up and feel as though I achieved nothing in my nineteen years, but as the sun faded down the irratate day, I felt I could challenge anything: except the lonly enormous book of boredom, the glare of blank paper. They reminded me of my latest weak- ness: the first shallowness of grades in my four years. As the end was coming, I thought of my father, did he feel good about me? Did he feel bad about me? Was he predicting success, or was he imagining the ugly color of failure. As the end was coming, I thought of the cherished friends I had barely discovered in my four years and how many days I had left with them. Do I want the end to come, or I can keep my friends smiles and add depth to my grades. I just sigh and try to leave life 's creative nature alone. Finally yet sadly, the end had come, and all I could do was be glad, as I leave the everyday comfort of friends. BY MARIA ADAME L...

Who is this stranger that's part of my life BY ALICIA TON ONLY ME TO BLAME Since you walked through that door, My life has never been the same. Though I have only me to blame. I was lonely and confused, hurt and abused. But you helped me through it all. Now that I 'm better and feeling well I decided to put you through my hell. I know it's wrong but I didn 't care, Because, when has life ever been fair? I hurt you, love, so very bad But it was only because I was mad. I am sorry now, for what I have done. I hope that we can still have fun. Please forgive me, I love you so and what ever you do, just don 't go. Life without you wouldn 't be the same But I 'd have only me to blame. BY BARBARA DEAN

Sports W X. his year all McLane 's sports teams were out to bring pride back to the Red and White. Some of the highlights of the year was the varsity football team 's upset win over 6th ranked Edison for home- coming. The freshmen football team also beat the Tigers for their first winl in three years. The girls varsity vol-l leyball team won their Hrst league game in two years. Having a direct IMPACT on the McLane's sports teams was the new 2.0 G.P.A. requirement. It was raised from 1. 75 to assure that athletes were also good students. Overall, the '87 year was a good one for all Highlander teams. The dedicated athletes again showed the rest of the league who was reallyifl. A
