The Road of the Future The road of the future begins in the past. New faces appear, taking the place of those left behind. Styles change, and the events that once were faded into the past, the memory pleasantly lingering in the minds of those looking on. Yet, amidst this period of rebuilding lies the hope of tomorrow. For within those faded memories, friendships were formed. Together as one, a class grew. Individuals formed a whole, producing ideas and forming unique creations. As the years progressed, the styles, the events, and the students changed, yet the uniqueness of each individual remained. Different talents and skills were combined to form a new class, the class of '78. This class leamed from the memories of yesterday to prepare for the newness of the future.
