KALEIDOSCOPE EYES. Bits and pieces of colored glass reflecting light, blending together and sifting apart, melt Into a sequence that Is never re- peated. Almost every- body has seen a kaleido- scope, fasinated by the variety and complexity of the world Inside the card- board cylinder. Here we have found our own kalei- doscope where aged, brown stone walls re- place a cardboard cylin- der and pieces of glass become a cross-section of people. Unfortunately, the image in a kaleidoscope can only be seen from one an- gle. Central Is often one- sided; people who see an Inner-city school with all the supposed disadvan- tages. Maybe if these people took a closer look at our kaleidoscope of people they would dis- cover that it is this piece of the real world that makes us unique. We are a cross-section of people, reflecting life, working together yet re- taining our Individuality, setting ourselves apart from all the rest. We have a collection of people that range from the out- standing musicians like Brandon Engler to award- winning artist James Scott; from recognized athletes such as Booker Scott to Anita Horsch. Most of all. though, we are the people who strug- gle through Beowolf in Mr. Mlnard’s Brit Lit class, battled with the librar- ians for a minute to so- cialize between chemis- try equations, and made frenzied runs to Omer’s. We began to excel In a way that depicted a se- quence of distinct per- sonalities. Each person an important part of the pattern that made us a unique and diversified student body. V 27
