FORWARD For every beginning there is an end. For every end there is a new beginning. Even the school year, but especially this one, is a new beginning. Fresh and Dif- ferent classes, faces, curriculum, and even the construction of a new school building are ail part of this school year. The new beginning in curriculum con- cerns the switch from the mini-courses back to the traditional English and social studies classes. New faces in students and faculty are all part of this changing school year. Even school activities are beginning anew. Active teams, club members, class advisors and coaches all promise to bring about an outbreak of school activities. Freshman are cer- tainly beginning a novel untried kind of school experience. When seniors gradu- ate this is a very important new beginning as they go out into the fresh different yet exciting world. Everyone anxiously awaits the beginning of this new school year. Even in our own community new beginnings are happening. We are em- barking on a second century after a cen- tennial celebration. Our nation is also starting anew with a different president taking office at the beginning of a third century. The Tracer ' 77 was designed simply to be this — a book full of memories of the new beginning that the 76-77 year was for the school, community, and na- tion. We want everyone to be able to look through this book, see a picture or a remembrance, and truly feel that they were a part of this new beginning.

N U C L E U S Just as a cell cannot function without its nucleus, the school cannot function without its nucleus — the people. This includes everyone from the students and faculty to the administration and maintenence workers. School life centers around all the individual members of the nucleus. Even though each individual in the school has significance, the students themselves, represent the focal point; since without the students, the whole purpose of school would be lost. Although each member of the nucleus serves a different purpose, all the members working together as a nucleus create all aspects of school life. Because of the continuous change in membership and the attitude and opinion of the individuals of the nucleus, new beginnings are created each school year. New faces of teachers, students, and even maintenence workers increase the variety and bring about changes in the school life; and certainly one of the most interesting new faces is that of the exchange student. Some other new beginnings are experienced because of the changes in faculty positions such as class advisors and student council advisors. The occurence of all these changes adds interest and excitement to all the aspects of school life and truly makes it an unparralleled new beginning for everyone involved in the nucleus. Nucleus 5
