Survival: Breaking the Patterns Remember praying for field trips and fire drills or some other classroom diversion? Remember the relief that rushed through your veins when a special assembly, movie or concert was announced? Remember the ecstasy of a Friday? It was anticipation of such pattern-breaking events that kept us motivated during the day-to-day dilemma. Looking back on the year, there were many events which gave us a break from routine. There was always escape in field trips to EKU Math Day, Lexington Herald, KET, the courthouse, the airport or the mental hospital in Lexington. There were always delicious Shakertown breakfasts and sports banquets, band trips, ball games, cheerleading competitions, Y conventions, concerts and weekends! We may have been busy, but that was the best way to survive from day to day. It takes a lot of air to fill up a baritone!

Patterns Patterns. Paths. Plans. Directions. They govern our universe. Our very lives are part of a great cycle. It is natural for us to depend on patterns to provide order in our lives. Most of us do not realize the magnitude of school in our daily lives until a long vacation finds us with an overwhelming amount of time on our restless hands, or until one is a senior facing decisions of how to fill the void that school once filled. Whether students admit the fact or not, there is security in the pattern of going to school every day. At times the pattern seems to be an inhibiting monotony. We can lose ourselves in it, even though we are lost without it. The pattern guides us in our lives, but the special times keep us going. A secret of life itself is achieving a balance of pattern and diversity. Fingers shifting deftly over the keyboard, eyes locked upon the screen in intense fascination, senior Carrie Huff is captivated by the world of computers that she and Deana Hurst encounter at the EKU Math Day. October 26. Raving reviews are received by the recruited back-up singers at Pam Mink's concert, November 18. Hamming it up, Bobby Harris. Mark Gardner, Jeff Baker and even Mr. Yerian get into the act. 4 — Opening
