Bill Cole: I say what's in me and what I feel I don't like to beat around the bush. I hope the guys in the senior class and the junior class girls won't forget all the rides I've given to them on my gas! I hope that someday people will read about me as a professional baseball player. Nancy Hauer: Only knowing the members of one group is confining. Within each group there is such a wide variety of people that a categorization of a group is usually inaccurate. Do what you want, but don't take advantage of your own freedom at others' expense. People worry about what others think and rarely come across as they really are. People see others as what they want them to be they're not aware of other people's needs. People will develop without force. Yet the educational system feels the need to pressure. Students don't learn as well under pressure. and are less happy than they would be if left to learn what they want.” Laurie Hoff: I'm a happy person and I love to laugh I want natural things: a fun time, a gas. but I also want to help humanity. I'd like to help humanity by working in the Peace Corps or something to that effect. I want to be aware of what's going on around me and talk to people, hoping to get deeply into what they are thinking. I can't stand people who show a front. I think sophomore year has been about the hardest year of my life, adjusting to more school work, beginning to understand ways of living, finding out the different sides of people, scary things! It's been fun though! And I hope my junior and senior years are even better! Pam Tollefson: In order for people to get along and work together three things are necessary: first respect for other people, then to develop a trust in them and finally to sincerely value their friendship. There will always be cliques: it's the type of people you feel most at ease with. People should be frank: if you have a firm conviction on something express it Your friends will respect you. if they are true friends, but you've got to consider others' feelings and points of view so that you don't intentionally hurt them Ralph Schelly: It bothers me when people can't be serious. They may be serious in class, but stop as soon as they leave. They're afraid to honestly discuss anything. People in high school too often don't want to learn: they feel no obligation to each other and no obligation to talk or discuss. I used to think all people in high school were unimportant and that college was the place to get to know people: but this year I've found people m high school I enjoy being with and talking to STVIIITsmm

Dan Proctor: Never know anything unless you do it yourself. People are afraid to be alone but the trouble with being a member of a group is that you give so much and get so little. Society is a vast state of paranoia, with freedom being hyprocrisy it creates problems where they shouldn't exist. The draft is free to pursue but you must do it. The most you can get out of school is by doing the least amount of work People have to cover their lack of knowledge by talking all the time.” Chris Werness: To get along with people you don't have to be conscious about trying to please them I don't believe that people purposely try to hurt other people. People are basically good. Happiness is very important to me. I think I'm happy. I'd like to be remembered as being a happy person Kerry Pulsifer: People can live with hate and ugliness but they can't live alone. People will have to learn to trust others. People have only each other. I believe in a universal law in which there are no social laws. Everyone has the right to be right or wrong. If you have a love for society and its people and you understand them you won't want to do wrong or hurt them. Debbie Novak: I'm not a member of a closely knit clique. I associate with a lot of different kids. I wouldn't fit in the Theatre Group and I wouldn't want to. Also, in some groups they think everything they do is Right — they are the only ones who count and everyone else is like a stone pillar. They don't tolerate or associate with others, yet their ideas are always impressed upon us. I don't like this sensitivity stuff: communicating and lying on the floor in English. I don't think anybody should be forced to do it Tom Herold: ' The PURPLE POWER clique runs the school. The student council no longer serves any function. The Pep Club could do as good a job. The impersonal feeling in our school has caused the cliques, and they isolate too many kids. Clubs are an important part of our school to reduce this isolation. One gnpe I have is people who vegetate, especially in the classroom. They think that school is a big deal, just a place to have fun. Kids think they are to be taught but are not supposed to learn. They aren't willing to rcsp ect the teachers or each other. This has to do with attitude, and attitude has a lot to do with the problems of our school Joe Meyer: People too often tend to l3bel others with certain images, whether they fit or not. Once people are labeled it is very difficult for them to change their image. There are many who think my image is one of an intellect. I don't like that because I'm not really that way. If I did not have this image I think it would be easier for others to get to know me as I really am. 16
