Book Reviews Hopes and Expectations The beginning of the I9S3-84 school year found many members of the Milbank High School Community filled with hope and expectations for the year to come. High hopes were shown in the football and cross country teams as weill as the gymnas- tics squad. These teams expected a year of lop performances and rewards because of their past experiences and backgrounds The school community was enlarged by the addition of former Corona students as their school was closed last spring. After several years of declining numbers, the enrollment was once again on an incline due to a larger freshman class and new transfers. Cheerleaders kept the community bright with decorated halls and the promotion of school spirit. The gym was brightened, too. with the appearance of a Bulldog on the east wall. Funding for this painted project » a donated by the senior class. Time and money were also donated by many community members to renew the appearance of the football bleachers. Milbank as a whole took on an altered look with the addition of many new businesses. F.rased from the worries of many Milbank citizens was the baseball controversy. After much time and money were put into this project. Milbank finally received a baseball field complete with turf. This yearbook was written to record the hopes, expectations, wor- ries. and other such facets of the 1983-84 school year. The rainbow on the cover and throughout the book was used to sy mbolize these hopes and expectations. The pot of gold associat- ed with the rainbow was felt to symbolize the achievements and rewards gained through the student's experiences during the year. The annual staff invites you to review the experiences. achievements. and changes at Milbank High School.
