l I School. no matter how hard it is for some extremely stubborn students to realize. is not only a place for a large social gather- ing. School. in our case Katella High School. is a place to re- ceive an education that will help us as we venture beyond the walls of protection our parents and teachers have constructed around us. The knowledge we each re- ceive depends on our. and our parents. choices. Therefore we have each received variations off of the same basic structure that the school district has set in front of us. We all have taken different paths that will lead us. hopeful- ly. to the destination we dream of. And our High School eudca- tion plays an important part in our future. For some. the knowledge Ka- tella gives us will serve as the last post of formal education in our life. It will be our shield to save us from drowning in igno- rance. and it will be the only thing to help us progress. Others will use the education Katella gave us as a foundation to build on with more educa- tion. lt will be the stabilizer. the basics that a college education will grow and flourish on. So it is obvious that what sub- jects will be taught to us at Ka- tella is of the utmost impor- tance in our lives at this point. Without it we would drown in the sea of ignorance. and our future education would collapse from such a soft base to build upon. However, unlike others whose plight is far less fortu- nate than ours. we have seem- ingly endless supply of diverse courses to help us nurture the talents. skins and abilities we have into a promising and bright future. Katella is far luckier than other schools. Here there are many different academic de- partments, all supported equal- ly by a tremendous staff and willing student body. With a Katella education to help brace us for a future that holds many, so many, different possibilities. we are fortunate. And. perhaps. we take time to give a thought of silent thanks for the many academic opportunities our high school has given us. 'x this PE-Y ,QGN ,f 511 .Xl 3. ii g t.t.t t t A - ,n t J Ni 'J .1 ..
