Firebird Spirit. . . We Caught This definiTely was our year To spark a flame of spiriT in Firebird sTudenTs. As anoTher school year in our life passes, iT does noT mean ThaT year has forever passed away. We have our memories. Some of The Things ThaT helped Willis sTudenTs acquire memories were The many changes in The school sysTem, such as The am- phiTheaTer and The new principal. YeT, sTudenTs have also made changes of Their own. They have puT in Their ideas, and overall, They have added class To every- Thing. They also allowed The cy- cle of The Firebird To Take place again. The firebird is a legendary bird ThaT sTands for endings, courage, sTrengTh, and new beginnings. As The firebird Took flighT To iTs end This year, Willis sTudenTs Took hold of iT. This enabled Them To par- Take of The bird's magical powers of courage To make changes, sTrengTh To fulfill The changes, and The spiriT To Try and To have fun while doing This. Now, iT is Time To leT go of This year's bird, buT noT To The memo- ries. lT is Time for The Willis Firebird To resT for The coming year. He is waiTing To Take flighT again wiTh his sTudenTs. For Those who will noT be aT Wil- lis nexT year, They musT always hold on To The memories of This year. The year '87- '88 was our year To caTch The flame of The firebird spiriil .,' LL.
