The beginning of the girls' cross country undefeated season is underway as Rochelle Graffius runs up Holly Hill in a home meet against Reading. A new era begins for varsity football as Coach Richard Mauck coaches the Eagles. High school: it is a series of beginnings—some sweet and others not so sweet. The beginning of what many call the sweetest days of a life, high school is the beginning of new friendships, greater responsibilities and more independence. New situations abound during these days and years. There's the first dance, the first job, the first love and the first research paper. As sophomores first emerge from the cocoon of junior high days, they are challenged to keep up with roomsful of juniors and seniors. Old friendships stand the test of time as friends develop new, sometimes diverging, interests. Some become even closer while others taste that first sour note of growing up. It is time to take the plunge, get involved in school and life; it is the beginning. TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD ....... . .

The middle of high school is like the middle of a candy bar: a sweet nougat that is sometimes sticky with a few nuts thrown in. There are delicious new privileges such as learning to drive, getting the lead in a play, or going to the student council convention. Life, however, is not all smooth and creamy. Now that basic introduction courses are out of the way, classes such as cultural anthropology and research paper begin to take their place. Going to college or getting a job after high school are not faraway ideas but concerns to prepare for. Visits to the guidance office (now that one knows where it is) become more frequent. Few would disagree that a junior’s life is busy. Academics, extra-curricular activities, and social life all seem to shift into high gear. It is time to expand horizons, broaden friendships and dream big; it is the middle. Measuring vectors. Mike Power completes a lab for physics class, a common course for juniors.
