— Drawing by senior Theodore GaaJ H rV .V ' My lover and my friend Silently we share these hours; I ' m in your arms once more. You hold me close one final time, Before we close the door. Pressed so tight against you, I begin to reminisce. The future seems uncertain. The past so full of bliss. Vivid images come to mind, That my memory holds dear. A gentle smile creeps to my lips. As you pull me even nearer. You gave a scared teenager Reasons to be adult Without bringing all my childhood dreams Screeching to a halt. When it seemed all others betrayed me. And moved along their way, You shared your never-ending strength. And swore you ' d always stay. Together there was something special. We ' d never known before — A lot of laughs, also tenderness. And even so much more. Words can ' t express our mutual respect. Or all we ' ve struggled through. You made a rough time seem so easy. And you know that I love you. But now we ' ve finished growing. No more childish games. Please don ' t pretend; we both know the truth. And there ' s no one to take the blame. May you gain all that you wish for. Happiness to the end. Thank you for all you ' ve given me. My lover, my friend. — Senior Michelle McNamara — Picture by unior Rick Baugher The pictures and poems on these two pages are dedicated to the creative minds of the EHS student body.

Trojans Have Spirit, Yes We Do! Homecoming week at Elmhurst this year showed everyone that Trojans have spirit coming out their ears. The week consisted of Sweats Day, Clash Nerd Day, PJ Day, Punk Day, and Red and Gray Hat Day. All were very successful. Along with the traditional homecoming dance and powderpuff football game, which the juniors won 14 to 6, there was a mock Dating Game between eight Trojans and eight Generals. Junior Dave Bone and senior Judi Johnson were chosen to escort the General contestants. For the fourth consecutive year, the class of ' 83 cap- tured first prize in the float competition. The hall com- petition went to the sophomore class, with the freshman and junior halls placing a close second. The senior hall was eliminated when the beer cans hanging from the ceil- ing were considered to be dangerous. Several uniden- tified Trojans also borrowed the Lucky Steer bull and tethered it on the front lawn. A fantastic pep session preceded Friday night ' s ac- tivities, which unfortunately included a disappointing football loss to the Generals. There was, however, record attendance at the dance. The halftime activities were highlighted by a fireworks display and the crowning of senior Chrissy Morel as 1982-83 Homecoming Queen. Homecoming — !

My Life I sometimes think I ' m invisible, Always around, but never seen. I sometimes think someone really Cares about me, But I realize then that I ' m dreaming. It ' s really funny — I become visible At the strangest times. I seem to fade in when someone Needs something from me. As soon as they have it, I fade back into the nothingness That my existence is based on. Every time I try to reach out And touch someone that I love. They turn their back or Close a door in my face. Every time I want something, It ' s taken away from me. I sometimes think that nobody Believes I have feelings. I ' m not incapable of feeling. Of loving someone. All I need is someone to love, Someone to love me. That ' s all I require to survive. But I don ' t have it. So I must be invisible. — Senior Joel Heim — Photo by senior Phi) Boom Boom Bonohoom Creative Arts — 11
