From the beginning you were marked. At birth you were noted for your birthdate, sex and weight. As you became older, you applied for a Social Security number, and that further marked you. Entering high school, you were tagged with a student identification number. You became one of more than 2,000 Carmel High School students. Yet the feeling that you were not just one of the crowd, but an individual prevailed. I try to seclude myself from the crowd. The good thing is that I can actually do that here, said senior Jeff Jones. Numbers played such an important part in the daily lives of students. From the numbers after a dollar sign on a weekly paycheck to the all important SAT and ISTEP scores, people relied upon numbers. I felt good because my scores were good Continued With trash can nearby, seniors Doug Winston and Chip jost lip-sync to the song Hard Times by the rap group Run DMC during Pizza-Hit Night. The evening was a successful fund raiser for the student senate. Uim Kidwell photol Q Opening 3

And the meaning of one number brought the whole school together for a celebration. On Sept. 23, that historic festival took place. A mob of whistle-blowing, hat-Wearing and streamer-tossing students gathered in the gym to celebrate the school's 100th birthday. Even though students related to and relied upon numbers, they soon realized that at Carmel, they were more than just a number.U cv illfully trying to explain a word through ic ures so homores M All d Uim Kidwell photoj J Y game show, W Lose or Draw during an off d P F , D egan Lubs play the popular TV ay in choir cl By J im Kidwell
