Dreams of the future All of us, throughout our high school years, have dreams for our future. We have certain goals we want to attain — becoming a successful lawyer, a fam- ous writer . . . traveling around the world . . . marrying a wealthy person — because we think they will make us happy. Our high school experience is only a stepping stone to these dreams. It is a time for us to realize that decisions have to be made about what comes after high school. Should we take a full-time job or attend college? We spend our opens in the Career Re- source Center of the Guidance Office ’’Necessity can set me helpless on my back, but she cannot keep me there; nor can four walls limit my vision.” searching for the roads that will lead us to our dreams. We also look forward to things we've dreamed about since we were little kids. We’re aware that in future years we will see the hundredth anniversary of World War I, the automobile and electricity. We'll be part of the celebra- tion of the New Year in the year 2000. That should be a very big New Year's Eve party! And, we’re especially looking for- ward to the year 2004 and wonder whether all our dreams will come true by our 25th reunion.

Nightmares For every dream-come-true, there seems to come a nightmare. Tests and quizzes all seem to descend upon us one deadly day. Some of us are faced with dreaded oral speeches which make us freeze in fright like statues of stone. As we approach the front of the room and turn around to face the class, our hearts pound, we feel the butterflies flit in our stomach, our tongues twist, and our palms sweat. And, although opens serve as a relief to those nightmares, at times, they are equally disastrous. Sometimes we leave our keys in our locked car at Mc- Donald's, or simply lose track of time on the walk back from Bella's and are late to our next period class. ... So full of ugly sights, of ghastly A few of us sit and sulk in the cafe- teria because of our failure on the driv- er’s test. Those of us who are gym- nasts try to maintain our poise if we fall from the balance beam during impor- tant meets. And, as June approaches, we despair over not having a date for the prom. Even some weekends end in night- mares. An open house party can be- come a catastrophe when parents come home slightly earlier than ex- pected. It doesn’t take us long to realize that nightmares are impossible to escape. Towers of blocks surround Joe Boschi as he studies for his class. New math concepts frequently puzzle students. Mrs. Rosalie Triozzi helps Barbara Litz with her problems.
