Some people study in the library while others, like Beth Wurtzel. find it a good place to com- pletely relax. Chemistry problems occasionally put us in a daze. Eric Wolfgang puzzles over an especially tricky one. A short nap helps break up the day for Annette Scimemi. Many times difficult chem questions need much time and thought before they can be answered To daydream and look attentive at the same time is an art in itself. Linda Olchavary tries to sit through the lecture. A good book captures Lisa Miller s attention. A difficult math problem stumps Jeff Kosten as he probes for an answer. THEME 7

Daydreams We all like to sneak off in our own lit- tle world of daydreams. Look around and you’re likely to see many of us gazing into space. We temporarily withdraw from whatever is happening in class and muse about . . . summertime . . . the prom . . . sportscars . . . skiing in the Alps . . . surfing off Hawaii . . . having a maid to clean our rooms . . . winning a million dollar lottery . . . having a book published . . . discovery by a talent Gently - as we sometimes glide through a quiet dream. scout . . . Often, when we wake from our rev- erie. we find ourselves staring at the clock. We try to will the hands to move so we can get through one more period. That one period brings us that much closer to our wish of the day being over. A brick wall may not be the most comfortable place to sleep, but Mike Wessler and Mike Dev- erey don’t mind. Hands on his chin and his mind somewhere else. Mike Kish wishes the time would go fast. Typing class isn’t only typing as Karen Rusch finds out. 6 THEME

Dreams of success Although success means different things to different people, most of us are bound by the common desire to achieve this elusive, sometimes intan- gible, accomplishment. In school, our aspirations include avoiding gymnastics in gym, surviving that first period on the driving range and being chosen for All-State Orches- tra or Chorus. We cross our fingers during an audi- tion for a part in the play, during the election of officers for a club, and as the boy or girl we ask out takes his or ’’the desire of glory clings even to the best men longer than any other pas- sion.” her time answering. We have dreams of glory for our lives after graduation, too. One of us might drive the world’s fastest racing car in the Indy 500. Another might be a pilot for the projected space shuttle to the moon. And still others may become presidents of large corporations. Surviving our years here and receiv- ing that diploma are hopes almost all of us have. Once we succeed in these, our yearnings can take us just about anywhere. Chemistry demands exactness as Terry Griggs. Jean George and Kathy Pearce discover through constant experimentation. Practice makes perfect learns Bruce Goldstein as Mr Cliff Taylor checks his work David Kohn. Robert Fatone and Kevin Darvar also benefit from his criticism.
