“ could never accept the Idea that I abso¬ lutely could not do something. I think anybody can do al¬ most anything If he sets his mind to It Kathy Peterson Rice “Like the Phoenix bird which burned It¬ self to ashes and then rose youthfully from the ashes to live again, so we must soar with Christ — or spend our life scratch¬ ing around In the dust. Roger Vanden Busch Each Squire should explore the various aspects of APHS, whether It be through academ¬ ics, athletics, or extracurricular activities. Each student should release his ambitions and exert himself for the final outcome of a better school and more Impor¬ tantly a more confident, know¬ ledgeable, and well-rounded young man. Paul Hillen VJe have grown throughout this year 1981-82 An American Indian legend tells about a brave who found an eagle’s egg and put it into the nest of a prairie chicken. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life the eagle — thinking he was a prairie chicken — did what the prairie chickens did. He scratched in the dirt for seeds and insects to eat. He clucked and cackled. And he flew in a brief thrashing of wings and flurry of feathers no more than a few feet off the ground. After all, that’s how prai¬ rie chickens were supposed to fly. Years passed. The eagle grew very old. One day he saw a magnificent bird far above him in the cloudless sky. Hanging with graceful majesty on the powerful wind currents, it soared with scarcely a beat of its strong golden wings. “What a beautiful bird! said the eagle to his neighbor. “What is it? “That’s an eagle, the chief of the birds, the neighbor clucked. But don ' t give it a second thought. You could never be like him. ” So the eagle never gave it another thought. And it died thinking it was a prairie chicken. It’s all too easy to go through life thinking we’re prairie chick¬ ens when we’re really eagles. But doing so shortchanges us and ev¬ eryone else. We should be what we are. Be all that we can be. We can’t stay on the ground when we have It In us to soar. 2

“Most people live, wheth¬ er physically. Intellectu¬ ally or morally, In a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of only a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul ' s re¬ sources. ” William James Today young life changes quickly; The future holds an open door. The world Is crying for Its new leaders As they have never done before . . . We cannot all be a star or a winner; We cannot all be number one. But we can light the world with our lives And shine as bright as the sun. Jennie Erickson “It Is common sense to take a method and try It. If It falls, admit It frankly and try an¬ other. But above all, try something.” Franklin D. Roosevelt Only that day dawns to which we are awake. Henry David Thoreau 3
