INTRODUCTION 0 Success is not something attained instaneously. We must lay a firm foundation, just like any other architect of a prodigious and accomplished work. Tradition and ingenuity help us to attain our posi- tions in life. High school is one of the most impor- tant parts of our lives, because it allows us to find who we really are, therefore allowing us to dis- cover what we really want and need. Unfortu- nately, we could not make a climb upwards with- out taking a step backwards. Sacrifice and hard work often made it difficult to look beyond high Our school. But as we began to realize our potential to take our places in the real world, our friends, family, and teachers were there to push us for- ward. Success is academic, financial, personal, and athletic, but it is never insignificant nor ignorable. Each person's triumph is the most important, as long as he believes in himself and the things he strives for. Success is not measured by the posi- tion you attain, but by the obstacles you over- come.

INTRODUCTION Individuals On the surface, one can see high school as a massive herd of people. Going one step beyond and searching for the individual, it becomes ap- parent that Foothill is filled with them. There is the artist with the deft maneuvers of his pen and paint brush. Talent which can hold a person in awe covers the walls of the gallery on campus. The student involved in the ASB, working to represent all individuals of the school, gets in- volved through spirit and determination. The OCAD team member, sacrifices hours and hours to gain further knowledge and to bring his team to victory. Even the average student isn't to be glossed over. I-Ie or she adds to the character of the school. One may find little in common with the guy who sits in front of him in Algebra. An athlete and an actor may seem incompatible, when in fact, if one is willing to go beyond the sterotypes and misleading appearances, common interests can be discovered. The one thing we all have in common is our contributions to the exis- tence and strength of the school. Ned Williamson, John Collins, Allan Baker, and Ashby Jones know who's 451.
