Stephen D. Koch, Editor-in-Chief. PREFACE We take many footsteps in our iourney from the time we enter high school until the time we are graduated. These are taken not only in walk- ing between classes, but also in terms of achievement and social position in school. This annual tries to show the various facets of this iourney through the high school years. The first footstep, one which we all take with great pride, is our entry into high school, our passing into the seventh grade. We all remember the day on which we stepped proudly into our seventh grade classroom, feeling that we had the world at our feet. This little balloon is soon broken how- ever, and we are forced to realize that we aren't fully a part of high school. Our changing of classes is limited to moving from one room to the other, and we have no choice of subiects whatsoever. The next 'big step is our entry into the freshman year. We are now allowed to choose our subiects more or less freely and have full freedom be- tween classes. Also, we feel that we really belong in the social set-up of school. The commencement of the sophomore and iunior years are rather small strides toward the ultimate goal, the senior year. This is the year in which we are the elite of high school society. We proudly look down our long aristocratic noses at the immature and childish underclassmen, forgetting that we were once in their same position. In this year we also begin to think seriously of the future, our careers, our goals in life. . Suddenly we realize it is time for us to take the biggest step of all, we are to be graduated. Our spirit saddens as we realize that we will probably seldom see these people whom we have known so well for the past six years. Graduation is a time of mixed emotion, happiness because we have been anticipating the change from the routine of high school, and sadness because we are to be forced from the familiar into the unknown. These footsteps are very necessary to our maturation, and passing through each of them in turn is what makes our high school years the hap- piest in our lives. It is the sincere hope of the entire Norseman Annual Staff that this book, in portraying these steps, will bring pleasure to all who read it. Stephen D. Koch Editor-in-Chief -lane' KBC-ffl, assistant editor in chief: Mrs. Maxine Andrews, advisor. 2
