and Imagination at I VC There are so many things to celebrate in the arts. Art is not just a painting, a sculpture, music or different cultures. It is the way a person ties his shoes. The way a person slams his locker every day is art in motion. Art can be inter- preted in many ways. The way a person keeps his locker is art. What one person calls a mess, the locker owner calls beautiful. A person playing with his food at lunch could be considered un- couth, but could actually be cele- brating a creative way to eat lunch.

Celebrating the Victories We all know why we celebrate the victories in high school competitions: to show the other team what we can do ... to show that we are a team to be reckoned with. But what about the losers? For some, trying out for a sport and mak- ing it through an entire season is sat- isfaction enough. For others, losing in that close game is the incentive to go farther and push harder. There is no shame in losing, for without losers there would be no win- ners. There would be no come-from- behind wins and no underdogs. The thrill of competition would be lost! Lesley Trotmon contemplates facial recon- struction as she valiantly deflects a power spike. Falling on his ice, this Grey Ghost goes for an- other victory in the impressive hockey pro- gram. 74 Introduction
