12 qv- aim Most things can be recorded in a year- book - things that take place every year. Howeven there are some things, the feel- ings, that are difficult to capture. These feelings - a feeling of pride in your school, an extremely funny moment, a sense of ac- complishment or dekat - are very strong emotions usually lost in the hub-bub of other school activities recorded in the year- book. Yet many hail to realize that it is precisely these emotions that determine who you are and what you expect from life and describe your entire school career with - out words. Feelings - how simple, yet piercing they can be. Remember that overwhelming sense ofjubilation after winning state? You could hardly contain the excitement or suppress the tears which released all of the long months of hard work. Or when losing that crucial game, remember the sense of loss and heartache felt when seeing tears of frus- tration and dekat falling Hom our players' hzces. On a more pleasant note, remember the swell of pride when you received that unex- pected A in Biology? How about those late nights at a lriendlv house when everything seems funny and no one can go to sleep for laughing. Don 't forget the feeling when you had just gotten a date with that special person, and you just wanted to shout with excitement. Remember these feelings, the strong emotions, the memories they created. Re- member the good times, the bad times. Remember school. Laura Barrick, Senior Suzi Hall, Smior Stacy Pendergralt, junior

Passing a tall, distinguished, wealthy looking man on the sidewalk, a young school girl pre- pares to conhont him. Aker all, he's wealthy- looking, it is very unusual for a person on Byng campus to have money the first semester of school. The months Hom August to December have been newly designated as the fund-raising months at Byng. Running aher the man, the young girl digs several slips of paper out of her school bag. Ex-Excuse me, sir, the young girl stammers as the stranger turns around. Would you like to buy a raffle ticket for a 4 foot high stuffed animal? The man smiles and hands over a dollar bill. Taking the ticket Hom the girl he nods and begins walking away, Wait. ' the girl yells after him, How about a ticket for a carwash? The man turns around, smiles polite- ly, and hands the girl two more bills in exchange for another ticket. And how about a ticket for a flowervase for your wife? the girl prompts as the man digs in his pocket again. 'And a top quality stereo . . . This continues until the annoyed man pulls his empty pocket wrong- side out and turns to walk away. I can give you time to go to the bank! the girl yells to the retreating form who is now like everyone else on Byng campus. This is a common episode which anyone at Byng during the first semester can relate to. Tickets are sold for the raffling of everything from turkeys to TV's, Food is sold, magazines are sold,' shirts are sold, knick-knacks are sold,' pins are sold, cards are sold . . . You name it,' Pirates sell it. Carwashes, bowl -a-thons, dances, a chili supper, a skate-a-thon are all held annu- ally for fund-raising events. Nearly every organized group at Byng School raises money for its activities, and there are quite a few organizations. It would fill a whole page to list all the groups who raise money, but the Mr. 8: Miss BHS contest would definitely be at the top.
