Several activities took place in order to make this a momentous occasion. Students wrote papers stating what the Constitution means to me in order to form a more perfect awareness of its con- tent. A winning essay from each grade was then read at a formal presentation. Among readers was junior Tiffany Wil- Iiams. She says of the experience, I was just glad I was able to share my feelings about our Constitution with others, It re- ally is a miraculous document because it can still be applied to society now-a-days, more than 200 years later, even with our punk rock and nuclear weapons. I thought to myself how lucky I was to live in a Country where I could do what I want and have all the freedom any person could ever ask for. Other essay winners were freshman Shane Meyer, sophomore Michelle Makx- imenko, and senior Carol Trinh. . . ,,,.

But after I stopped and really read it, I thought to myself how lucky I was to live in a country where I could do what I want and have all the freedom any person could ever ask for. Other activities that day included red, white, and blue day and a televised broadcasting of the festivities from'Wash- ington D.C. Indeed, an historic event was relived and appreciated. - BY ALICIA WOOD Constitution
