W. ..,. ,-.a-an if Each year, the Pegasus staff tries to convey a picture of what Homestead has been like, not only in separate events such as sports, activities, classes, and faculty, but also in the overall view of what the year presented. The students working on the staff saw a spirit that arose from challenging changes. Rich Trotter, Teresa Gisske, and Mr. John Plungy followed the events and tried to depict the real spirit through the improved use of candid photos. Unity yet diversity was shown through senior and under-class campus life. Identification pictures as well as informal photos emphasized the enthusiasm from each class meeting a new and different year. Activities took on a new light. Bigger pictures werepresented showing how students were challenging the new ideas and 'new activities. To those who look back on the yearbook a few years from now, a bit of the color and excitement will live again. Hard work, tremendous pressure, anxiety, and fear were typical of the sports events. We had many a winning team, Sharon Wood: Faculty Florence Seid: Sports 4415. Herald and Kathy Holmes: Seniors challenging other schools and records, as well as,themseIves. The sports editors tried to stop the motion and give the viewer a look at the emotions that go into making Homestead's great teams. The challenge of change was also felt in the faculty. Their untiring work was seen and their lighter sides were not forgotten. Faculty editors tried to give a new side of our curriculum. For the first time, color was employed throughout the Pegasus. The kaleidoscope effect of colors reflected the s irit of the P changing challenges of l967- l968. , .0- ' fl MSVTY COUBWBYI Suzanne Mulkern: Sp0rIS Ediwf Activities Editor Teresa Gisske: Editor-in-Chief K
