INTRODUCTION Activating In elementary school, you could play with Bar- bie dolls and Star Wars figures ISkipper versus Darth Vaderl. During recess, it was who could kiss asphalt from higher up on the swings. In junior high it was cool to just stand around and be social , Dances were awkward with guys on one side and girls on the other, while only the bravest dared to wander into enemy territory. High school offered some serious fun. Where else could you eat breakfast with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Devo at the same table, but at Senior Munch? Dress up days activated our imaginations and kept the kid alive in each one of us. Class competitions united classes together. Dances, with so many of them, any once awk- ward, shy, unsocial teenager could become a cool, dancing dynamo. Homecoming Week al- lowed some of us to become the female mud wrestlers and sumo wrestlers we only dreamed of becoming. Only at Foothill could the ruffians of L.A. meet the barbarians of the prehistoric age. High school may conjure up purely academic images, but with a little creativity, we had man- aged to fit some fun in here and there and make the trip worthwhile.

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.
