Garinger High School - Snips and Cuts Yearbook (Charlotte, NC)

Page 13 text:

The first year is a time for beginning. It is a time for change-yet as novices the changes are new and frightening. Upon entering high school, we are given a challenge, and this challenge will take three long years to accomplish-and we wonder. We find ourselves caught in a cycle of teachers, studies, books, rules, thinking, writing-frustrations. There is just never enough time! Yet, as time goes on through this first year, the crowded halls in which at first we lost our way, be¬ come halls with familiar faces-friendly faces -and we soon find G. H. S. to be more ttian just a learning institute. It is people. Students with whom we have things in common; students with whom we do not. And even with time pushing us as it does, we somehow make room for ballgames, parties, dates, clubs, and numerous other activities. At last we are becoming a part of Garinger, and soon it will become a part of us. 7

There is now a time for new anticipation, new dreams. A time when our days as novices have ended, and we are fully a part of Garinger High. We accept the work which is laid before us as we see our goal a year closer; and we feel the Garinger spirit around us. We sometimes even find learning to be exciting, and as we strive to grasp all of it-time runs slowly by. Yet time soon begins to move more rapidly, show¬ ing us how we have grown and matured. The boys in our class are playing in the ball games now, help¬ ing lead the cats to victory. And soon, senior proms will be coming, along with yearbooks and senior rings. It seems impossible that another year could have passed. Yes-Time is now moving too swiftly! 8
