With time we mature into the person we will always be. learning and building from all our experiences. Change. As we begin to grow older certain transformations oc- cur within us and create our in- diuiduality that represents who we are. Throughout the growing pro- cess which everyone experi- ences, we all come to a certain point where we decide who we want to be. Our individuality is our label in which we use to ex- press ourselves. We also choose a path for the way we decide to do things. Since this was a year of making a stand and being who we really are. this year we did things differently. This whole year has definitely been one to remember. Many things have happened that will be great memories to look back on. I think we really made a name for ourselves. Allison Vick. senior, said.

t ' aCC c cut It was simply about fun. School life was a chance for the students as well as teachers to breathe. For a few moments they were able to forget the long days of school work and homework, and simply enjoy themselves. There were many things to do and many people were al- ways willing to volunteer to help. The season usually helped you decide what you were going to do. In the fall the obvious choice once a week was the foot- ball game. Once a week the stands would fill with thousands of cheering fans. In the winter there was basketball. This activity was sometimes more difficult to do, how- ever. With seating in the gym being con- siderably less than that of the football stadium, people who wanted to see the games from good seats often found them- selves waiting in line for tickets an hour before they went on sale. Aside from sports there were many other things to do. For the first time in years there was a big Homecoming dance the day after the game. There was also a dance in Feb- ruary to honor the first ever Rowdy King and Rowdy Queen. If you didn ' t want to go out in big crowds there was always Just getting together with a couple of friends, renting a movie, and spending some time together. There wat also always the possibility of going out on a date. Students ' lives were filled with things tc do the only problem was choosing which thing it would be. The obvious occasions such as Prom, Senior trip and Graduation were obvious but the rest of the time people had to choose what they wanted to do. 29 ... School Life
