etting older means maturity, and maturity means making choices. As you grow older your choices range from: de- ciding what to wear, doing homework, coming to school, selec- ting a oollege, and whether or not to do drugs. Making these choices isn't easy, especially making choices about drugs and alcohol. Realizing these choices were hard. Troy Garrison, the leader of the Celebration of Youth Workshop was brought in to aid us in making the right choices. This workshop is about choices. You have a choice to become a victim by going out on Friday and Saturday nights doing things that could destroy you and your families lives. But you are in control here, not your parents or your friends, but you! explained Troy. Another serious choice is choosing your friends, espe- cially if they do drugs. Having friends that do drugs can lead to serious consequences such as losing them as friends or losing them more permanently. Junior Sherman Miller discussed this matter when he stated, I have lost a huge number of my friends due to drugs and alcohol. When I chose not to use drugs or alcohol they saw me as a threat to our friendship. Kids get kids into drugs, and kids get kids out of drugs. What will you do! Make a choice and face it!

Q, X xl I , 1 BOU et's FACE IT, the reason we buy the yearbook is to see something very basic, common, and appealing - OUR FACES. In this book we'll find: pretty FACES, pizza FACES, false FACES, nerd FACES, fuzz FACES, fat FACES, made-up FACES, bored FACES - ALL KINDS OF FACES! FACING '87-'88 gave us the opportunity to FACE choices, FACE reality, FACE fun, FACE pressures and FACE facts. As you look through this copy ofthe '88 Northern Lights you'll see people FACING the music, FACING off, FACING each other, and FAC- ING front. You'll see happy FACES and sad FACES, funny FACES and mad FACES, FACES in the crowd, FACES being loud, and all kinds of spaces with traces of FACES. Open the FACING pages and see yourself. Enjoy!
