A little added effort toward personal goals The word crowd means a group of people gathered together. But once the crowd dispersed most Warriors found themselves alone with plenty of time to spare. Searching for an outlet occupied their time as students joined clubs, took classes, or got away from it all . Whether you stood up and cheered along with the others as our Gold Brigade captured a tremendously high seventh place in the national marching band contest, or Let the Good Times Roll during homecoming festivities, you were considered to be an intricate part of the crowd, just one piece of Warren ' s gigantic jigsaw puzzle. Moreover, Warren students found that their escape came by transporting themselves to a different image. From jogging togs at homecoming times to outrageous costumes at the Halloween convo to Elizabethan attire at the Madrigal dinner, Warriors adapted to the call of the day. Finally, when the pressures of homework and the closing in of the crowds became too much, some students needed an escape. Warren had that to offer too. A quiet walk in Warren Woods, concentration on a creation in art class or a work out in the weight training room were just a few ways to release tension. There are some who prefer being lost in the crowd, melting into the masses in the crowded hallways. But from the spunky freshmen in their first and probably last year at Warren Central, to the spirited seniors, from sectional, regional and state champs to national recognition, finding a place to stand out was a priority goal for most of our Standing Room Only crowd. V Fa, la, la, la. Attired in traditional Madrigal outfits, the Madrigals belt out an Elizabethan carol, You Stole My Love. Circular reasoning:.
