SHIER | SATE RNR Ee - Today’s World... A Working World Life is a long time. It consists of many years and many days. Those many years and days hold a lot of work in many different shapes and forms. Each different type of work has its own purpose. Students spend the first 18 years of their lives in school to prepare themselves to lead the community. They go to school to lay the mental ground work that will be used in future jobs. The youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow. This is a very trite statement, but it is quite true. With a future like that ahead, one can’t afford to go in with cold feet. Most high school students have jobs working in stores around the community. This way, they get a first hand look along with experience before it is totally up to them. The students working in the community make up a large part of its working force and without them, many stores would be at a big disadvantage. The enrichment and betterment of students and community is gained, thus both are better prepared for the coming future. Who's winning, Pete—you or the cards? Sleeping on the job again, Cathy? For the latest on heel and sole news, talk to Donald Nelms. What's your bag? Lisa’s is testing the freshness of bread! Linda Woods seems to like this aspect of her job. Community Involvement—7

Have you ever thought about how long a year is? If you think of it as 365 days, it is a long time. But when you think of all the things you’ve done in a year, it doesn’t seem so long. That’s what this yearbook is going to show you—a year as if it were one day. What's the first thing you see in the morning? People! Well, the first thing in this book is the people. You'll meet the students as well as the teachers. Of course you've got to buckle down to work sometime, and when you do, you'll meet the clubs and various organizations of Meadow- brook. A bit of exercise does everybody good and there’s loads of it to be found in our sports. At the end of the day, you like to relax. And re- laxation brings on the special events. -. Sound like fun? Even if it wasn’t fun, it hap- pened twelve times. Twelve years of our lives are spent in school. During those years, time seemed to drag its feet and waste away. But on the verge of leaving those twelve years behind, we wonder, ‘‘where did they go?” It seems as if they went by so fast. We can almost see them as twelve days instead of twelve years and this year as—a year ina day.
