Reflection ' eflection Man 's search for the hnal frontier is progressing in the form of the space shuttle Columbia. lt shoot's off into the wild blue yonder and man 's newest addition to space age technology. Don 't worry Mr. Spock- it might take some time but we'll catch up to you eventually. Man 's cruelty and insensetivity is once more evident in the tragic case of the children of Atlanta. The sadness and outrage with which we see the plight of the youngsters there are not enough to stop the murders which ha ve been going on. Nothing but a realization that no human being has the right to deprive another of a life will eventually end this cruel action. Fellow students, it is my pleasure to report to you that Americans still continue to have a high opinion of sports. They are highly competative and like to encourage anyone who wants to play ball. Guess how much encouragement Dave Winheld is getting this year to play for the Yankees? Over a million. Anyone having second thoughts about changing careers? It 's funny how New York City gets a taste of every thing life has to offer- including disasters. It is our pri vilage to experience a water shortage this year. The media continually blasts that their is a drastic shortage of water and that no one should use more than they absolutely have to. Who ever said life is a bowl full of Cherries? i Hemalatha Menon

As we approach the close of our senior year at Bowne, we have the opportunity to reflect on the memories of our lives as freshmen and sophomores. Each of us has matured in innumerable ways, creating a new person to confront the world. Some ha ve not as yet discovered their recently cultivated identities. Others are sure of themselves and their futures. Neither of the two can consider themselves whole unless they recognize their dreams. Fantasy. Reverie. Wsion. Dream. The title is insignihcant but the emotion is critical. Nothing compares to satisfaction which stems from a dream Hnally fulhlled? Life is a construction built on a foundation of dreams and aspirations. In the uncertain years as freshmen and sophomores, many of us dreamt of the glory which accompanies the spotlight after these difhcult, sometimes trying, often exciting years, the uncertainty lingers. Maturity does not necessarily come with age but rather with the realization of your dreams. Until these ha ve been satished, we will always remain freshmen. The na viete of life is overcome with the answered prayer of a dream come true. May all your dreams come true. Marilyn McGrover
