Dreamscape from school to the future A As dedicated and hardworking as the senior class was, there were those occasional moments when each and ev- eryone was hit with the urge to day- dream. Daydreams became a creative form of escape from daily routines, ex- cessive pressure, or even from listen- ing when an instructor spoke. Being mostly normal human beings, the vast majority of the class admits to day- dreaming most consistently about guys and or girls, but here ' s a glimpse into some specific daydreams. What do you daydream about? Being rich. — Bill Gorman; My future. — Charts Keaton; Graduation. — Lynn Boyd; Money. — Dina Patterson; Surfers, weekends, and the beach. — Patryce Richmond; Motorcycle riding and playing the gui- tar. — Damon Anderson-.

Year ■ ■— ■ — Ml And what do you want to be when you grow up? A nurse, fireman, balleri- na, and cowboy are common responses given by young children when they are so frequently asked that question. Many children also enjoy acting out those future dreams and fantasies. Re- member the back-yard circus where you performed for the neighbors, or at least your dog? Bandaging up dolls, try- ing to ride the family dog around the living room while lassoing whatever you could (preferably a younger broth- er or sister)? Many were the tasks we practiced in preparation for our chosen occupations. John Benoit Sean Benson Michelle Berry Laura Jane Bershas Anthony Bitney However, through the years most of these original goals changed to, in some cases, more realistic occupation- al interests. For instance, Tina Watson recalled, In sixth grade I wanted to be a certified public accountant and now that I am closer to actually being some- thing, my desire is to aid the financially disabled. That wasn ' t as drastic a change as Tori Knoop ' s, I always want- ed to be an artist, but now I want to be a stock broker. But believe it or not some dreams have stayed the same from childhood to the present day. I ' ve wanted to be famous since I was a small child and I ' m working toward that goal, expressed Amy Combes. Why is it that some dreams never die? Maybe some people just don ' t want to grow up! If we all stayed young, then our childhood dreams would nev- er die. However, the days of playing cowboys and Indians, and nursing a sick doll or dog are over all too soon. Whether our childhood dreams have altered or remained the same, most of us have begun to grow up, but one very important thought remains: No dream is too small or too big.
