“Finished!” With a look of astonishment, sophomore Kathy Adams realizes that her manuscript in typing is finished. Now she can sit back and relax or practice daily exercises to improve her skills. Shaping, molding, sculpting- creativity will get you everywhere junior Brenda Zandstra and seniors Anna Petronella and Donna Born create a being that will earn them an “A” in Mr. Ricks’ sculpting class. The agony of slaving over a hot stove for an hour seems to be worth it as senior Diane Lindauer and Randy Fields have a chance to sit down, relax and taste test their own cooking. The end has come; it is finally finished. After weeks of planning and constructing senior Ron Kisfalusi displays the end result of his wood shop project. Very proud of his work, in hope for an “A”.

End Results Long nights, hard work, studying, bring hopefully favorable results. ‘‘Often enough on faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true,” William James, a philosopher of the late 19th and 20th century once said. In effect this statement says that to gain positive results; one need have faith. But often enough, one requires more than simple faith to accomplish the desired end result. A light glows candescently, scarcely illuminating one corner of the room. Yawning loudly, something she would never do in school, a student rubs her watery eyes as she turns another page of the text book. Her digital alarm clock ticks off 1:38 a.m. Nearly an hour later, she finds herself leafing through a semester’s worth of class notes, cramming for the semester exam in world history. Dates and places must be temporarily memorized. Two days later, outside her fifth hour class, grades for the exam are posted. She looks up Number 18 to discover the end result of her study is favorable, a B + . A positive result doesn’t always come in the shape of a grade. An athlete spends hours toiling under a hot sun on the field or shivering through icy laps in the pool before the sun rises. From early morning practice sessions to the sound of the final buzzer, athletes and coaches strive for victory. The straining voices of tenors, basses, and altos can be heard as one walks past the choir room as the choirs practice. Eventually difficult notes are hit easier (continued on page 28) At first the product does not look like much but after several hours of work in and out of class the product, whether it is a drawing, painting, charcoal or pastels then becomes the finished product. 26

Please Don’t Feed the Animals. Sewing 1 and 2, taught by Mrs. Keithley, decided to make stuffed animals when they were not working on regular assignments of blouses, pants, or skirts. Ripping out seams, spilled straight pins and cutting on the wrong lines can try a seamstress ' patience. But all the trouble pays off as sophomore Kelly Stolte shows off her finished product, a stylish shirt. End Result Reward designer with satisfaction (continued from page 26) and a well harmonized group is able to belt out the “Hallelujah Chorus.” These performers meet their desired end result as they take their places in the spotlight during a concert. An art student spends weeks shaping and molding a hunk of clay into what he hopes will eventually become an animal or a miniature person. As the project begins to take shape, he works even harder to reach his goal. Once the clay has dried it is fired up to a glaze in the kiln. He then paints his work of art and the project is finished. The artist reaches the end result, a true work of art which he has created. Once the studying, practicing and working for a specific result is completed one can only hope that the satisfaction of the result is endless. 28
