TOGETHER WE GROW

WE LIVE THE MOMENT Summer ’78 gave us a chance to channel our energies in new directions. We read novels instead of Chemistry texts, complained of sunburned noses instead of Trig tests. We scattered throughout the country, whether on the P.F. missions trip to Appalachia or a family reunion at Grandma’s house. Some of us escaped to cabins on sparkling lakes, while others were stuck washing dishes at local restaurants. We shared rowdy times — Kicks' games, the Eagles concert, and mellow moments soaking in the sun. Whatever our experiences, the people we met touched us. and we discovered new dimensions to our personalities. We entered Edina-East in the fall with goals set. determined to be organized this year. Soon we settled back into our series of routines. Sliding into our seats at 8:10, we attended the same classes and walked the same hallways day in. day out. And yet the time went so fast, those minutes slipping away into months. Looking back, we remember the times that made each week a little different, times when together we let go — we lived the momentl 1.

 — YET WE ARE UNIQUE As the year passed, we grew, occasionally wiser. Our minds were constantly bombarded with facts, some of which we couldn’t help but remember. Once in a while, we even found ourselves seeking information about something we weren’t required to know. Our teachers were succeeding; we were motivated. Edina-East has always been a school of achievers, due to our parents. our teachers, and our image. We’ve been forced to be nicer to disprove our cake-eater reputation and work harder to live up to everyone’s expectations. Our year was no exception. We. too. began to branch out and discover unique interests. Some of us were absorbed in piano lessons or ballet classes; others derived satisfaction on the volleyball court or baseball field. Our involvement in all areas of school life produced results. Special events such as the Meet the Candidates Seminar” or the fall junior sen-ior barbeque lended distinction to our year. They were group efforts: the people who built the sets for the fall play. The Sound of Music, were as essential as the stars. Finding different ways to shine, we realized that together we grow — yet we are unique. 1. The Whigrean staff sings their Homecoming version of Summer Nights” before the pep-fest crowd. 2.
