e armstrong v Someone asks if you would please One simple question, how does one write a write a Hshort summary of short summary about a student body of 2200 Armstrong during 1976-77, the unique individuals who view Armstrong in 2200 students and their attitudes. 70h, varied ways? How can you compact 36 weeks sure, you say, ttthat'll be easy. of classes and learning and forty weekends into a short paragraph? Can one actually summarize the events of a successful Homecoming, loads of dances and band and choir concerts, our teams being supported through both winning and losing seasons, and a sparkling succession of plays and one-acts? How does one summarize a year of spirit and t t t involvement, marked by people participating in everything from organizations to politics, sports I: to productions? Can you generalize about the many others who are bummed out by the entire school scene and the establishment as a whole? How does a person capsulize snowball fights and winter fun, freezing to death or boiling in some classes where thermostats are things of the past, or the reaction to no-credit grading and locker segregation? Can you find the words to describe Spring Fever and Senior-itis, friendships and growth; the commons with its perhaps inevitable divisions, and the people who can be the exceptions? It's impossible. So I won't try.
