Editors' Forward This Hisodak is our contribution to the history of HHS. In it we have in- cluded both the good and bad exper- iences that make up the memories we always will have to cherish. As this year's theme we chose 'Discover 85'. There is no need to ask why, for when you open the book you will know. In it you discover what 1985 was and re- live the games, activities, and classes that have been experienced by our days in the halls of HHS. The cover also incorporates the dimensions of outer space, which parallels the infin- ity of the future and the many differ- ent paths our lives may take. What we are and what we become are influenced by our experiences as we grow up. Our environment and education are the key factors that de- termine our futures. Our goal as edi- tors was to enable ourselves to look back at this annual and once again - discover '85' The editors IW5 Senior Editor THIS PACE: ABOVE RIGHT: Mike Gadd tries to talk to Cary Weidenbach, Henry Bucholz, and Galin Larson as they com- pete in the how's this expression? con- test.
