It's a perfect fit! -- Junior Star Smalley tries on a Porsche for size. A dreams come true -- A beautiful home with a white fence around it, like this one, would fulfill many students' wishes forthe perfect house. . ...relic fu' . A cherry-red '56 Corvette, a mansion on a hill, a private jet- every person has his or her own fantasies. A hot car and a big house are at the top of some people's Wish Listf' but other people have dreams that are a little more unusual. J u n i o r Tamera Stone said , I would wish for one mil- lion more wishes! C i n d y Vincent, a jun- ior, said she would wish for my own personal genie in a hot-pink magic lamp. Many students are sure of what they want to do with the rest of their lives. Most have made a career choice that they plan to stay with. Doing what you enjoy, helping oth- ers, and, of course, money are main factors in choosing a career. When asked what careers they were inter- ested in, the most popular response students gave was psychology. The next most common answer was to be one of the various types of medical doctors. Also falling in the category of dreams and fantasies are goals con- cerning what the students want to accomplish in their lives. Many stu- dents have some ideas of their fu- tures such as their careers, marriage or their dream car and vacation. Concerning her future career, senior Belinda Hardy said, I want to be a psychologist because I like to help people get the most out of their livesf' When asked about the car of his dreams, senior Matt Schonthaler said, If I could have any car that I wanted, I would have a Vector because it's the fastest car in the world. Many people labeled Australia as the spot for their dream vacations, but Shanna Standifird said, I would go to Brazil, to look for gold and chase lizards! But how many people actually feel their dreams in life are attain- able? Over 80 percent of the students said they could fulfill their dreams.Are your dreams and wishes only fantasies, or will you nake them come true.

Let's chat -- Sabrina Dumas and Tyran Frihart share the latest news as they stop and take a break at the sophomore lockers. Got a minute -- Sophomore Jami Anderson and junior Mike Gisbran take time out of their busy schedule to keep up their friendship. Camp ,i,, People walking, talking, laugh- ing was what many students saw this year on campus. On the other hand they also saw frustration, sadness, and seniors' reaching the top: graduation. While many students experi- enced these things, they car- ried on a social life too. tears of finally U5 Lifeoncam- pus varied from lunch, to football tif survivaf t r games to clubs after school. Lunch was loud, fespecially when firecrackers went off in the senior lockersl and a break from school. Sophomore Mike Roberts said, Open campus was way better than junior high. Some of the places that stu- dents went for lunch were Barro's, McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, W.-ag Circle K, the cafeteria or home. Leaving campus and coming back took a lot of treasured time away from students, however, because of the packed parking lot. Senior Janine Silvey said, I don't think the sophomores should be allowed to drive.The parking lot is too full. Also, senior Wendy Guin said, It's too d- -n crowded !! H To let go of this frustration, students screamed, cheered, and encouraged the Toros on at the foot- ball games. Those who didn't feel like shouting were able to kick back and enjoy watching their favorite football players or pommies. Stu- dents who attended football games seemed to join a unity and pride this year. Remember the first home game against Dobson? It looked like we weren't going to win but the team pulled it off by slowly moving the ball 10 yards at a time. Finally, they scored the needed touchdown that gave us the win by a single point. Some students felt football games were the most sociable thing about life on campus. If students didn't end up in a huddle on the football field, they huddled together around the locker cages as they watched victims get drenched with the sprinklers as they came up the ramps. For many seniors, social talk was about what to do after graduation or what college to go to. Some talked of marriage after graduation. A lot of this happened on Senior Hill. That small patch of land will carry many memories for seniors because they finally could legally sit on it and enjoy the view. If students weren't interested in sports, lunch or Senior Hill, there were numerous clubs on campus to join. Some of them were Click Club, Gennan Club, Spanish Club or SSIM Club. Any club was a place to hang out, help out others, and to show what students especially liked or believed in, such as SADD.
