As we pass through a gate of dream, bright images arise, vibrant in the sunlight: the realms of old heroes spring to life from fragments of history and myth and tales of an- cient wonders. In the clear eternal element of imagination a symphony of stone arches and marble chambers climb upward. These are the castles, dwelling- places of giants and gods, faeries and monsters, dwarfs and maidens, knights and sorcerers, kings and queens.

After much deliberation, a medieval theme was chosen with scarlet and gold school colors. Up until a few years ago our athletic teams were known as Knights, Squires, and Pages. Our literary publications are the Lance and Troubadour, our drill team is Valkyries, and our freshmen choir is the Chanticleer. After rejecting such names for the yearbook as Dungeon, The Jester, The Moat, and Knight Fall, the name Halberd was finally chosen. While searching for a theme for the 1986 Halberd, we noticed that many students, as well as teachers, are unaware of the true meanings behind the traditions of our school. We wanted a theme that would tie in our medieval past with our recent yesterdays and that could be carried throughout the book.
