The New Library- Check it Out! It finally happened! Hundreds of drawings, plans, and ideas took shape and became reality this fall. The students and faculty were sur- prised by the newly completed li- brary building with its 12,000 square feet. Whoever thought that it couldn ' t be accomplished has certainly been proven wrong; how- ever, the library did not appear out of nowhere. Many, many people devoted their time and money to the making of the library complex, and it could not have been built without them. Now that it is a reality, it ' s time to celebrate. The opening of the new library has coincided with se- veral important events. It was offi- cially inaugurated on Homecoming Day with a ribbon cutting and a balloon release during halftime. The new library has also seen many guest speakers, including Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks, storyteller Jim May, and author Natalie Babbitt. The library building houses more than just a library. It has study areas, a computer room, a Middle School art room, and an art gallery. It is probably one of the most used facilities on campus. As intended by its designers, it has truly become the center of the school. 19

Raiders Rout L.F.A. Caxys 39-10 at Homecoming • . Homecoming ' 87 brought Mac (and the rest of us) the victory we missed last year. The chill in the air was warmed by an ever enthusiastic crowd, as our Raiders defeated the Lake Forest Caxys 39 to 10. Earlier that morning the Alum- nae (but young) Field Hockey Team played the Varsity Field Hockey Team; however, the game resulted in a stalemate with a score of 1 - 1 . (Better luck next year! However, it is just a game remember?!) Anyway, on a more serious note... At halftime, in addition to the tra- ditional release of purple and white balloons, the library was officially inaugurated with a ribbon- cutting ceremony. The day ' s events and celebra- tions flowed along into the nig ht at the dance thrown by the Student Council. M r ■ 1 : Senior Brian Dole scores another six points, add- ing to the Raider lead. 2: 3,2,1,.. .BLAST OFF! 3: Junior Chapin Hemphill and senior David Plimp- ton show what they can do, while junior Peter Geyer runs in to assist. 4: Junior Navarra Rodri- guez quickly commits herself to getting the ball back from Heather Utzinger ' 87. 5: Some fans let that Raider Spirit shine thru. 6: Coaches Jay Bach and Mac McCarty and Team Manager John Zore find out the barbecue will take place, in spite of the cold weather. 7: Just two of the many happy smiles as the Raiders wrap up another victory. 20
