“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

“ 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

“Evaluate your potential. Then expose yourself to the risk and reward of de¬ veloping It. Sandra Ogle Though young men faint and grow weary, and youths stagger and fall, they that hope In the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar as with ea¬ gle ' s wings. Isaiah “We have to Impart to un¬ der-achievers the message that there Is hope to reverse the tide. Otherwise, as peo¬ ple mature, they modify their expectations — like shifting gears to a lower lev¬ el of achievement.” Arthur Weider “Am I the one who Is attempting to break out In leaves and blossoms and good fruit, and to let out the goodness Inside me — or do I Insist on pretending to be Junk? Am 1 the one who plods along In the race consistently aiming for my goals — or am I content with crawling on my belly, or worse Just lying there, sitting on my hands? Angelo Feldkamp
