W17l1ng to do and to understand, we return from mind-rusting summer to imperlous bells and routines Summer minds are rusty machinery covered with dust. The slamming of lockers, the filling out of forms, the ringing of bells all bring us back into school to oil and clean out our machinery. We have eome here to gain understanding-whether it is of a Math problem, of a friend's dilemma, or of ourselves. Part of that understanding is discovering our identity. We are called many things: 'gyoung adults, adolescents, kids -even the Pepsi generation. We do not have a name, for we are so very different. Attitudes and personalities are so diverse that one name cannot be applied to us as a whole. One thing we do have in common-we have arrived to take another stab at higher learning. 11 Miss Powell, yearbook advisor, fleftl seems to have been followed to school. Two students labovel compare summer notes.
