Finding the future In the last years of high school our education will prove most important. The personal best we contribute to our school work not only determines the grade but shows a special kind of dedication. Though the school revolves around various groups of peo- ple, it is the individual that must pur- sue his own academic or vocational interests. Our school does an excellent job of providing numerous electives and courses to study or participate in. The teachers are truly interested in their subjects and are anxious to get the students involved. A few laughs may be shared, friends made and knowledge learned in an atmosphere created especially for learning. For some, that special trade learned will give them the experience to find a job requiring these skills. The trade and industries wing has provided many students with this opportunity. For others they have just begun to get their feet wet in a favorite area they will pursue in college. Still, some will remain undecided about their future but will round out their education to the best of their ability. There is no doubt that our education will play a prominent role in our future.

Both students and friends Students here are not just students but friends. A reminder of this friend- ship is a smile in the hall, a pat on the back for a special achievement or an ear lent for a troublesome problem. Joining an organization or your favorite sports team is a fun way to find friends with the same interests as you. Some friends are carried over from a junior high gang; more are made through classes and special projects. What would that tough science class be like without that friend to help you with a lab report? Or that special person who sent you a carnation or a rose? A teacher who cares about your problems or commends you for trying is a friend also. It's easy to see our school is filled with a lot of caring and respect for each other; everyone is willing to meet an outsider and make him feel welcome. Afterall, the memories we will have of our high school years will be those that we have shared with the people most dear to us, our friends. Through the best times and even the worst, true friends are found and never forgot. Opening 7
