Cony High School - Coniad Yearbook (Augusta, ME)

ake It Wo k I sat in front of my computer at 3 A.M. typing anything that sounded the least bit intelligent, something that thirty years down the road, one might find meaningful. No earth shattering inspiration came. How- ever, while sitting there I could not help but remember all of the other all-nighters that I spent in my ju- nior year. Then I went back fur- ther, to a day in September, when a lot of ex-junior high kids who thought they were ready for high school got dressed and wondered what Cony High School would have in store for them. Almost ev- eryone has been told at least once that these four years would be the best years of one's life. Whether or not these years have been fun, there has always been work. In the classrooms, on the playing fields, in pre-season, in the music rooms, at a job, at home at 3 A.M., the work was always there. Some- times it paid off, other times it did not. Now it is time to go on to something new, and again one finds himself wondering what is out there. Perhaps I will be happy and successful, perhaps not. Every- one wants some sort of reassurance that there is something good out there, and each student looks back on his high school years and sees that something never comes from nothing. One tries his hardest and never gives up, sometimes he suc- ceeds. Work has been a theme of our high school years. We in the Coniad Staff chose it to be the theme of our yearbook. These four years were a time of work and a time of play. We made our friendships, we lost some of them on the way. There were things we said and did at which we would like a second try, there were things that we want to remember forever. Thirty years down the road, we will try to say that these were the best times of our lives, even though sometimes they were not. But through it all, we never stopped trying to Make It World . Something did not work out quite right. THEME INTRODUCTION 3
