Spartans Explore 'The Three Als' Providing an outlet for expression, the marching band attracted all types of people. Activities, academics, and athletics pro- vided the necessary environmental ingredi- ents to produce what is often haphazardly categorized as 'ia school. Athletics and activities engendered spirit as Stevenson gained victory after victory and honor after honor, in football, basket- ball, choir, band and debate. The pep club's membership reached a new peak while members continually plastered library walls with signs encouraging their teams on. Students also began to ask for more voice in planning the academic facet of school - their curriculum, showing up at Saturday workshops to prove their com- mitment and responsibility. They enthusi- astically entered the worlds of activities, athletics, and academics, thus shaping themselves into better individuals. Introduction 7

Self-Discovery Stressed at SHS The most important ingredient in a school is the students. A school is nothing without them. The individuals make the school and the school, in return, helps fo make the individual. As incoming sophomores groped with the immediate problems of grades and homework, juniors began to grasp the purposes and bene- fits of school. They learned to cope with the frustration of misunderstanding and hypocrisy and the difficulties of communication. During their three years at Stevenson, stu- dents found self-expression through a variety of media. Modular scheduling gave every per- son the time to pursue his interests. Whether it was meditating, painting, or playing the oboe, each student could expand and learn. As each outgoing senior left Stevenson, he was filled with memories of friends, fun, and living for the moment. But he also had mem- ories of times which were spent alone, in intro- spection when events, facts, and discussions could be analyzed and straightened out. al xx K, -- Li- x .5 .KX 1 X .ww High school years were spent not only sharing thoughts with others, but also cherishing the meditative moments. l Introduction 9 is
