6 ... WITH DREAMING Fantasizing About Our Perfection Brings Us Together All humans have a tendency to dream about their future, and members of Clover Hill High School are no exception. A student in an English class takes a moment from reading a Shakespearean play to think of all the money the characters have and what he could do with it. At t he same time a pupil in a language class is thinking of traveling abroad. Instead of listening to an explanation of the three branches of the government, another thinks of the power he would have if he became the president of the United States. In his science class, the next Albert Einstein thinks about his Nobel Prize. One common dream for all students is graduation. Students also hope for a car that will make heads turn; a part-time job with good pay, excellent hours, and interesting tasks; popularity; and a particularly close friend. Students are, by no means, the only people at Clover Hill to dream. Teachers dream that the students they teach will become the best to ever leave the school. A year that passes smoothy is every administrator’s dream. Guidance counselors hope that students are as happy as they can be at school and at home. Apart from our dream for ourselves we have our goal — to make Clover Hill as perfect as possi- ble. To fulfill this dream of perfection would be like putting a puzzle together. A spectacular Homecoming game, profitable fund raisers, and an unforgettable Prom would be one piece. Another piece would be academic excellence for ourselves and in competitions that pit the school against others in the county and state. Coaches, athletes, and fans alike dream of making the year the best with numerous green and gold banners, trophies, gold medals, and championships. The last piece of the puzzle is one each person hopes to fill — the one representing his own happiness. While English teacher Mrs. Margaret Flanagan reads a story to her class, Sophomore Robbie Soles puts his head on the desk to think what it would be like to be one of the characters. As the school year begins, thoughts of graduation reign supreme in the minds of seniors while the other classes count the days till it is their turn. WE ARE ALL TOGETHER ... Everyone hopes for a person that can make studying fun, and it looks like Juniors Gene Hottinger and Linda Russell have ac- complished that. Bi}

Here, Business teacher Mrs. Joyce Locke, Guidance Counselor Mrs. Gayle Pollard, French teacher Mrs. Archer Parkerson, and Government teacher Mr. Ted Salmon. Junior Michelle Curles knows the impor- tance of organization when writing a term paper. She looks in the card catalog to find a book on the subject rather than spend hours looking for a source. ...

Seniors Wendy Wood, Wayne Vaughan, and Brett Swanson thumb through college catalogs in the Guidance Office to help them choose the university of their dreams. While waiting for the bank machine to give them their money, Sophomore Nita Southers smiles after hearing her classmate Suzzanne Tate joke, ““Wouldn’t it be bold if thousands of dollars popped out?” To be handed the keys to a car such as this Mercury Sable is a dream belonging to everyone. Junior Tom Mervine takes a minute from a homework problem to ponder about his plans for the weekend. ... WITH DREAMING 7
