Introduction IV lur am, ! Wlcew do- fit la. Working a jigsaw puzzle can sometimes be quite a task. There are hundreds of pieces that some way or another are going to fit together for that perfect final pic- ture. In its simplest form, our lives are basically like this puzzle. We constantly are faced with puz- zling questions. Who am I? Where do I fit in? These are ques- tions asked by most high school students at some time or an- other. As freshmen, we receive our puzzle in its hundreds of pieces. Through each person’s own aca- demic, extracurricular, and so- cial growth, the puzzle pieces start to fit together. This past year, there were spe- cial opportunities for some in building the puzzle. In sports, our soccer team were conference champions, while in the organiza- tions area a drug awareness group, called KOPE, was formed. Back in the classroom, a new word processing class was added to the curriculum in a race to keep up with technology. Through participation in some of these activities, a student makes the pieces start coming together. Pieces continue to go into place until finally the last piece fits on graduation night as the final picture of high school is completed. Richard Cameron, Editor-in-Chief Vocational education programs prepare students for jobs. In his third-year drafting class. Senior Mike Niswander designs architectural blue prints for a house. At the Wood River volleyball game, senior Linette Ross, junior Janene Drake, and freshman Janelle Hunt celebrate another victory.
