By Gone Days . . . By Gone Thoughts . . . Everyone knows the maple tree in the front is a place of activity. In the fall, there are alot of leaves under that tree. That's where the best leaf fights are. Various shoes are thrown or tied on the limbs with the owners below. Now it's a prop in most of the pictures for the yearbook. The tree has quite a bit of shade in the early summer when we eat outside. It's the goal post for the P.E. Football games on the lawns. The tree is a place to sit and talk, or get leaves for biology, maybe find grasshoppers. It makes a good meeting place. It's the best thing to look at in the fall. Please Lord, just one win! Some fans may not have under- stood but there was plenty of spirit behind two words this year, HON- YAH! It is not exactly known where the cheer orignated. The chant did get the Trojan team off to a winning season. HON-YAH!

Seaman 6ft 7tme AND EVERY YEAR WE'LL HAVE THE SEASONS CHANGING.. .ALWAYS CHANGING. FOR TWO HUNDRED YEARS THEY'VE BEEN GOING ON. AMERICA JUST KIND OF GREW AROUND THEM. EACH SEASON JUST KEPT COMING BRINGING THE NEXT, AND NOTHING STOPPED THE CYCLE, NOT CELEBRATIONS OR INVENTORS, PIONEERS OR THE WARS. THEY PASS QUICKLY ALONG WITH ALL THE GOOD TIMES. BUT THERE ARE MEMORIES OF LEAF FIGHTS, THROWING SNOWBALLS, AND RUNNING LAPS ON UNBELIEVABLY HOT DAYS. THEY ARE IN HERE AND IN OUR MINDS. WE’LL KEEP CHANGING, TOO, BUT MOSTLY WHEN WE LOOK BACK WE’LL REMEMBER RAIN ON THE NIGHT OF PROM, EATING LUNCH OUT IN THE SUN, FREEZING ON THE BLEACHERS AT COLD, WINDY FOOT- BALL GAMES, ALL THE SMILES.. . MOSTLY GOOD TIMES. KAY SHIPMAN

To every thing there is a season, and a time. To every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silent, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3 We've come a long way. In the old days a yearbook cost two dollars. It was in black and white, not much action, or style. Now working on the book is very complicated. New terms include copy, layout, cropping, and special effects. Yearbook work starts before school does and continues all year. We think you get alot when you purchase a yearbook. And that's about as good as you can get.
