Seniors Have Last Fling Before Taking The Next Big Step t. as After a long, hard four years of fund raising, the seniors finally made it. ln the morning after gradua- tion at 4:00 they took off on their trip to Washington D.C. Most of the time was spent touring many in- teresting places. Among these were Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, and Gettysburg. After arriving in Washington the graduates were kept busy sightseeing. Some of those sights taken in were the White House, the Capital, the FBI building, and Arlington Cemetery. Although it rained every day the seniors kept things exciting and made their last days together something to remember.

On the following pages is a collection of original writings from the 1972-73 Creative Writing Class. Creative Writing is a Language Arts elective course offered to students, grades 9-12. Creative Writing is a course in which students are able to express themselves freely in any one of three media: poetry, short stories, and plays. Since this freedom of expression is the prime purpose, instruc- tion is limited to directing students toward subject matter for writing. Students in Creative Writing are encouraged to write on a personal level. Thus, much of their writing is a comment upon the social scene and upon life around them. It is hoped that by focusing on that with which they are familiar, they will come to a better understanding of themselves and the world they live in. The original art accompanying some of the writing is a contribution from the high school art classes. The art media included are India ink and felt tip markers. The work was done by Carolyn Kadlec, Kathy Stauffer, Marcia Atwater, Laury Bauserman, James Hollenbeck, Terry Nielsen, and Sharon Mader. We hope that this section will offer a bit of wisdom, a bit of humor, and a bit of solemnity, but most of all we hope that it increases your awareness of the students at Center Point - their imagination and their talent. May their writing serve as a guide for a better understanding of yourself and others, as well as the world you live in. Creative Writing Students . .
