Rivalries ‘Eat Zucchini From “Seniors will conquer” to “Highland Trojans will kill Munster, we see rivalries. They are meant to be all-in-fun wars which let the members of a club, class, or school release en- ergy, enthasiasm, and express their pride for what they have worked so ar- dently to attain. Unfortunately, people sometimes-in fact increasingly often forget that they are supposed to be all-in-fun and turn them into genuine tear down-drag out wars. People get hurt and people’s friends get hurt, and the bright spirits that everyone started the day with become dulled, making things miserable for both sides of the game. However, rivalries are an impor tant part of school and they should continue to go on. But we all must remember that unity is a most important comodity in putting on a successful show or making the winning touch- down. It is necessary for all stu- dents to unite to form a winning class; for all classes to unite to form a winning school; and eventually for even the worst of Highland and Munster rivals to unite to form a winning team. A team that can overcome the biggest challenge of all-creating a winning world. Nobody does it better! These Highland girl ' s show Munster who ' s on top. Who owns the bridge? Munster may have won the game but Highland controls the bridge. I need a litle help. Nick Crnkovich calls for some assistance to get a Munster opponent. 28 ?

Pressure Have you ever had one of those days when you just can’t seem to operate? You know, the day you have at least three important tests you really crammed for the night before? And then you get to class and realize you didn ' t study enough or you studied so much that your mind can only draw a total blank? That can be one of the most de- pressing situations school can offer: it ' s e- nough to make you want to quit. But, it ' s all in how you handle the situation that determines the outcome. Things have a hard time coinciding. When you re- alize that your grades are really taking a dive, it seems like everything else is going wrong too. Your parents are giving you hassles, and if they aren ' t, either your friends, your date, your job, or your sport is. Getting the right timing on life can be a real problem! Being a human dynamo is never easy. Once you concentrate on one thing, say your grades, it appears that you ' re lacking even worse with your friends and parents. It isn ' t fair when things barely fit together, and striving for further unification looks impossible. This is the time when you need to sit down and evaluate yourself. Are you giving enough time to the things you want to do, or are you trying to please everyone else instead? Before you can please others you must first please your- self. When you find yourself having this kind of trouble you have to remember that all of the act- ivities and people are what make up the individual you. Without even one of those different things your life would not be unique. You must decide for your own self how to organize your time. It may require more time for your studies than for someone else ' s, but that’s where the difference is. You are you and how you organize your life is what makes you a person. And, people will always have problems; besides, what ' s life without a few difficulties? r- No Problem! Senior Bob Anderson seems to have every thing under his complete control as he confidently smiles after making a deadline. You gotta grin and bear it.” Taking it all in stride is Senior Nick Crnkovich as he apparently seems to be practi- cing what he preached NO! NO! NO! Senior Kevin Guzowski struggles to keep his thoughts together as he attempts to find solutions to his never-ending problems. i I
