QUEST As I look back to my freshman year and think about what my idea of an impossible dream was at that time I realize that my particular dream is just about to become real. As a freshman, l always thought that graduation from high school was an impossible dream But since I am a senior and about to graduate my idea of an impossible dream has changed I now dream about what I will eventually be and witl eventually do for the rest of my life ldream of being a success in college. of gradur ating from college with flying col- ors, and of one day coming back to Madeira High on the other side of the fence, as teacher instead of stu- dent. I also dream that during my teaching years I will have many free summers to do what I please. And what will please me most is to take trips to places all over the world un- til there is no more to see. Then when I am too old to travel any- more. l will sit by the fireside and tell stories of my adventures to my grandchildren - Shirlene Evers

Man is above other animals on the evolutionary scale because he has the power to reason. Man aiso possesses the power to hope or dream about the future. Some of man's dreams are easily ful- filled. others seem nearly impossuble. To one of the early pioneers air travel seemed a farfetched idea, how we take it for granted. in 1930. the Depression crushed many dreams. but others sprung up in hoping for a new tomorrow An end to the crippiing wave of polio seemed impossible in 1940. Because man dared to dream, we now have space flight and the miracle of rejuvenation through transplant. Man has yet another impossible dream to fulfiii. Since World War I. World War Ii, the Korean War and now, today. man has shared the same dream: peace Peace need not be an impossible dream, or anything else for that matter. Nothing can be obtained unless it is sought. Whether you seek something as personal as success and fortune or something as universal as peace and equaiity, you must seek it, Only those who faithquy pursue their dreams will ever fulfill them, Seek and ye shall find. e Cheryl Stringer E 4 Lu I 0 Eu: 4.: :9 W cm 00 i-cL E I..I.l I '-
