Being a student brings about many exciting experiences and opportuni- ties. It is a time that will not be forgotten. So many things are shared through- out a student ' s high school life: the laughter and tears, the hopes and dreams that come true, the renewing of old friendships, and the making of new- ones. A student ' s life includes much more than attending classes. There are the four annual dances: Homecoming, 12B, Spinster Spree, and Junior-Senior Prom. Many clubs and organizations are available to join, and these help the student get involved in his favorite interest. Most of all, being a student is being oneself. Being recognized for the things one does and the one has grown up to be is a healthy experience for all students. One can shout as loud as he pleases, laugh, cheer, and enjoy oneself forever, because he is a student, an individual. Junior Mike Spencer debates on whether to swallow another helpless goldfish. He was trying to see how many he could eat. swallowed five. i V Mixed Emotions singers include graduate Mike Carley and senior Ed Barker, Tony Turner, and Greg Baker.
