READY OR NOT... HERE COME THE BULLDOGS In the child’s game of Hide and Seek, whoev¬ er is “it,” hides his eyes as he counts to an agreed upon number. Then he shouts out, “Ready or not, here I come!” Life, in general, and high school life, in par¬ ticular, seems to illustrate that chant. Whether we are “ready or not,” life marches on. Life demands that we cope, adjust, meet its chal¬ lenges to be the best of whatever we are, but it does not stand still to wait until we are ready. At age 14, ready or not, most of us are auto¬ matically freshmen. At age 18, ready or not, we bid farewell to high school and go on to a job, to a trade school, to college, or even enter into marriage. “Ready or not” represents to us the challenge high school offers to us. If high school did not present us with specific challenges at various times, whether we are “ready or not,” we might be forever at a standstill, just as in the child’s game, without the chanted “Ready or not, here I come,” a child might go on searching for the perfect hiding place. “Ready or not” implies making the best pos¬ sible preparation within a certain time period, and for this reason it symbolizes to us the chal¬ lenges of the 1984-1985 school year. “Ready or not” we must start back to school at the desig¬ nated hour. We must present ourselves at school each day at the prescribed time. We must go to classes, do assignments, take tests, play games, attend meetings, go to press all at a particu¬ lar time. To us the phrase represents the for¬ ward movement of high school and the ever¬ present time schedule within which school oper¬ ates. But the very demands of this schedule require us to be constantly alert and ready, to advance, to do the very best we can within the time frame allowed us. The raising of the flag signifies the start Mike Theil talks with a friend while of a new day. nearby another student begins his day.
