Academics make it our time to live Academics. Despite how it may have seemed, that was what we all went to school for. However, not everyone realized how important academics were. In many ways, high school would be the end of education as we had always known it. It would be the end of a personalized and somewhat restricted atmosphere. When we graduate, we trade that atmosphere for a less personalized and less restricted at- mosphere where our only motivation may be ourselves. Because of that, it was important during high school to obtain the kind of background and motivation we would need. High school was a time to live. Not only for our activities and our friends, but also for our education because education also was an important part of life. Through our experiences with foreign ex- change students, we came to realize that Americans should consider themselves lucky. In many foreign countries, their high schools were similar to our colleges. In many foreign schools, they had no elective courses and little fun time. High school was a fun and exciting time for most everyone. It was a time of gossip, dances and other school things. It was our time to live.

Enthusiastic fans cheer on the Aces As you looked out over a crowded stadium or heard the agonizing groans of a defeated athlete, the determination and the will to win next time was seen in their eyes. Each athlete and student caught the spirit through sports-related activities. Many of us found ourselves planning our school lives around sports practices or events. Pep assemblies, in addition to the newly added homecoming bonfire, brought unity between the different classes and united the school as one. Each member of every team worked hard to better himself as an individual to help make his or her team the best it could be. Although the practices may have been long and hard, the roar of the cheering fans let each athlete know that this was a time to live.
