Your life is a fraction of time, defined as the time from the day you were born to the day that you die. Just as time is end- less, so is your life performance endless. From one moment in your life to the next, from one phase in your life to the next, from your birth to your death, you are in a constant state of acting, reacting, thinking, and changing. Though times change and people change, it is all part of the endless performance, the seemingly unre- lated events of your life connected by a myriad of expe- riences and lessons from your past. The fraction of your life which you spend at Brookfield Central High School is an inseparable component of your endless performance. The knowledge that you absorb, the people that you meet, and the activities in which you participate all add to this act of your life per- formance. Not only is your existence continuous, but the little interludes which make up your life are a constant task. The jobs that you complete, the goals for which you strive, and the dreams which you attempt to realize must be attained with an incessant and conscious effort, often at the expense of the usual comforts and normali- ties of life. Can you count the number of times that the midnight oil has burned to complete an assignment or to study for a test? Is it possible, within the bounds of human understanding, to comprehend the amount of time and energy that a high school athlete must dedi- cate to a sport? These examples testify the endlessness of a student's life, a human's performance. What mysterious force compels a person to continue in his or her life performance? You may say, Stop the world, I want to get off, but you would not do this if you could. There is an enigmatic compulsion to keep on going when you want to stop, much the same as walking along a rail line toward the horizon, but when you reach the bend, and look beyond, you discover before you an endless expanse of track. You keep on walking, hoping to reach the end some day. In your life you keep meeting the next challenge, hoping that there is nothing beyond to conquer. It is an endless cycle, an endless perform- ance. Endless Performance f 5
