Exacfly whaT are They? WhaT are They for? Are They supposed To be hung on The wall and used as darTboards'? Are They The school's gifT To aspiring, young groffiTi arfisfs? Well, noT really, Yearbooks usually meanT somefhing a liTTle differenT To mosT people. To The general sfudeni body, yearbooks usu- ally meanT onTicipaTion and exciTemenT. To vlrfually everyone who was parT of our school, yearbooks meanT memories and feel- ings. Yearbooks carried school picTures To sign and friends' auoTes To laugh aT. They held phofos of boTh Tense momenTs and ecsTaTic ones. IT was Through These Things ThaT our yearbooks spoTlighTed and capfured The un- forgeTTable evenTs and emoTions ThaT made our year. Memories of morning academic as- sisTance periods and l'operaTion Tardy glim- mered in our minds. Reminders of The anTici- paTion we experienced as we counTed down The days unTil our homecoming sock hop, The exciTemenT we encounTered as we assembled in our new gymnasium for The firsT Time, and The pride we felT when our lady Trojans Took The sTaTe soccer TiTle flickered brillianTly in our hearTs. ParTs of our year: The siTuaTion in The overly busTling cafeTeria every day, The parking sTicker shorTage, The con- Tinuous changes in our adminisTraTion - ev- ery evenT helped our year To sTand ouT and glow in iTs own special way. Even as we lefT behind our TrusTy brown and gold pom poms and old shoes sfained wiTh reminders of The familiar red dlrf, The highlighTs of our days aT lvll-iS, our own person- al experiences and feelings, shined brighTer in our hearTs and minds as we fondly looked Through These pages and reflecTed on our year. .. 4 ll 340 Closing
