Life is but a game Each of us has played a game this year, the game of life. Playing the game at school often meant laughing at Mr. Howard's jokes, accepting Mr. Connorls way of dress, sitting alphabetically and Hacting depressed because we had to miss class time because of an assembly, meeting or track meet, It might have been when we made games out of our lunchtime or tried to be the high scorer in our classes. Staying in school and making it count called for playing by the rules. These rules taught us self-discipline and placed into our lives a sense of order. Through fieldtrips we found that life is also a game in the real world. Office Procedures class went to IBM in Jefferson City and Shield of Shelter in Columbia. Art Club visited the Capitol. District and state contests placed us in competition against unknown competitors. Many times we emerged the victors. Every time we had to make a decision about what to do or where to go, we rolled the dice, unsure of the outcome. Just when we thought weld played all our cards and were out of luck, everything seemed to fall into place. And when we cashed on one game, another game began. We will continue to play these games, forever merely advancing to a higher level of competition. Should I or shouldn't I? is the decision Lisa Hoover must make. f 5' , 3 i l Cramming before school, Beverly l Joyce, Kim Samson and Amy Dudenhoef- ll fer hurry to finish their history homework.

The deal goes on In a game of cards, the deal ends after a certain number of points are made. But, in school and life the deal goes on. 1 The seniors are graduating but others will l i take their place. The seniors will find other games in the outside world. These will in- volve even more commitment and, yes, more w; rules. i The underclassmen will move up a grade. 5 . in order to be at the top of their class they must continue to work hard and not let up. New computers, new textbooks and new teachers will be Hdealing out new knowledge. Pat and Betty will continue to lideal out admit slips and lunch tickets. Teachers will continue to udeall' out tardies as Mr. Howard Hdeals out detention. New organization officers must take over and run their clubs to the best of their abilities. For all of us, letting up can mean missing a chance to move forward one step. We must continue to play the game daily for the tldeal goes on. Heading out after the last bell to catch their bus home are Annette Kliethermes and Darren Patterson. New officers keep the game going year after year. Barb Curtit, 83-84 FBLA Vice- President, talks shop with President-elect Cindy Helmig.
