In Smallness 4 GREAT THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES I I |l

Presents ... isn’t it true that we all love to receive them? Just think about all the anticipation that bubbles up in- side of us on those special occasions — birthdays, anniversaries, gradu- ations, Christmas — when we eye those gaily wrapped packages. Many of us can’t wait to begin tearing away those colorful papers and shiny rib- bons to find out what hidden surprises there are for us to uncover. Some- times, though, we’re disappointed when we receive tiny presents ... we often tend to judge things by their size. But, if we think about it, isn’t it true that some of our favorite and most be- loved gifts come in small packages? To begin with, the ever-popular jewel- ry ranging in style and price from the latest punk earrings to the classic pearls to the coveted engagement rings come in miniature cases. Expen- sive chocolate candy such as Frango and Godiva are also precious exam- ples of wonderful things that are wrapped in small containers. We must not forget to mention exciting oppor- tunities such as concert tickets, airline tickets, and even money which are given to us in small packages. And ... how could we ever forget those car keys many of us were given on our sixteenth birthdays? All these wonder- ful things have come to us in tiny boxes, but their quality has outweighed their quantity! It just goes to prove that: GREAT THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES.

Hinsdale South — population around 1,800. On the surface, this school may not seem like a big deal, but as they say, “great things come in small packages!” Although our school may be considerably smaller than many others, not many can com- pete with us. The students and faculty of this school offer so much to make it one of the best in the state. To begin, let’s consider the outstanding accom- plishments of clubs such as Student Council, the Hornet Honeys, the Dra- ma Club, Illusions, and Vespa which have added diversity to our school. Oh! And how about our state-ranked soccer team with their near-perfect season record; they proved that de- spite our school’s size, we're still win- ners! Also, our volleyball team is a consistent winner, and our Boy’s Cross Country Team, led by excellent run- ners Bob Cisler, Ray Kozak, and Bob Levija, took first place in Conference ... showing all the other, larger teams just how great we really are. Then there is the golf team with state finish- ers Doug Rabold and Mike Troy. In ad- dition to these people, Hinsdale’s 140 teachers all “strive, achieve, and ex- cel in order to share a rewarding cur- riculum to eager students. There are many students who thrive on the high academic program that we have — 1985-86 has given us the greatest number of National Merit Fi- nalists and Commended Students ever! Size certainly hasn’t stopped Hinsdale South from our pursuit of ex- cellence. No matter how small we may be, we will always give our very best! Hinsdale South’s academic, ath- letic, and extra-curricular achieve- ments are true examples of GREAT THINGS THAT COME IN SMALL PACK- AGES! GREAT THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES 5
