MORE TO COME KK OOO SS SOOO OO OOOO a a a OOO OOOO I I I High school is a wonderful mixture of confusion, anguish, and laughter. It is four years of preparing ourselves for the ultimate challenges that life has to offer us such as college and the job market. During our four years together we have managed to survive mass confusion as well as go through many changes, some easy to accept and others a bit more difficult. When we discovered that our six period day was suddenly being disrupted and changed to seven periods we accepted it. When school officials maintained we needed a new absenteeism policy we grumbled but assented to their decision. Even when budget cuts due to Proposition 2 2 forced many of our junior varsity teams to be eliminated we united and overcame these and many more obstacles. Throughout this mass confusion we continued our search to know. This yearbook is dedicated to all of us, the students of Classical, who have had to put up with numerous changes in our school curriculum and who have also had to deal with the three minutes allotted to us between classes. During those rapidly fleeing moments we discovered how difficult it was to chat with our friends, weave our way through the throngs 4 Opening of people at the staircases, and still make it to class on time. We found that sprinting through the hallways not only im- proved our bodies but allowed us to make it to class punctual- ly. Not only have we had to deal with the new absenteeism policy, and forty minute periods but we have also had to deal with the deterioration of Classical, and the unedible lunches served in the cafeteria. Even though the walls were crum- bling, the floors rotting out and plants taking their place there was no other high school in Springfield that instilled in its students both a greater sense of pride and a superior education. Throughout the confusion this year we, the members of the yearbook staff, have strived to inform you of any changes in the curriculum, acquaint you with any new faculty members, and familiarize you with the activities in which your peers participated. This year we endeavored to enlight- en you of the newest fads sweeping the nation as well as the accomplishments of our athletic teams. As you reminisce with this yearbook, sit back and enjoy. Relive those special moments of high school that you shared with your friends and remember there is more to come. Left: Senior Karen Scott is hard at work on her yearbook lay-out.
