IIVVhiIe I slowly scanned the prison-like walls of my new home for three years, I began to feel the excitement of high school life. Everyone had gotten taller and I felt lost within the crowd. This was a big change from junior high where a person was able to walk through the halls without being trampled to death. 'II thought I would never make it, but here I am - a junior. Sure, I know where all my new classes are because I've been here before, but hey, I'm big now because I can drive to school every day, and I've got this ring on my fingerf' IlWeIl, here I am a senior, but it only If ' seems like yesterday that I walked through those big green doors for the first time. It's fun to be the oldest though. I've already sold six elevator passes to those tiny, little sophomores and led them to plenty of classes in the cellar. lIIt's almost over and yet it's only begun. I've matured more in these three years than any other time in my whole life. Now, as I clean out my locker, I close a part of my life, and as I head for those double doors for the last time, I also open up the rest of my future.

Changes are con- stantly occuring within and about us, some minor, some major. Our physical appear- ances change. We discover new values and face new opportunities. Interests change during the process of becoming an adult. But man is a versatile creature, always learn- ing, adapting, and growing so he may llroll with these changes. High school is the time to become an adult. As students at Ashbrook, we learn for the future, we learn so we may be pre- pared for life and its challenges. Many stu- dents find it hard to change, others wish for some type of change all the time. Only one thing is sure: the world is changing quickly everyday. Our generation will have to be flexible enough to llRoll With the Changes, and yet strong enough to hold onto our purpose. It's our time to UTurn and Face the Changes!! Will we be able to roll with them? is I-N' 'l never realized how hard it was to be responsi- ble for my own money. - Matthew Peninger l'What l am today is not what I was yesterday nor what l will be tomorrow. - Lesley Forde Opening!7
