Cheerleaders rally the crowd to voice school spirit. Lockers slam, feet clatter, and students rush down the hall to take full advantage of break. Some Little Talk Awhile The hurried pace of the age quickens the c a mp us pulse, and, caught up in the rush, we do not take the time to enjoy each day of our education until often it is too late. A moment, an hour, a day, a year slips by as we idly sit, dreaming plans, and chasing butterflies. On the threshold of the senior year, we perhaps are shaken to find that the past school days are a wistful dream, or sentimental memory, not a fulfilled reality. Suddenly the routine of school life loses its drab tones and becomes a bril- liant kaleidoscope of ball games, last minute assignments, hturied conversations, gay laughter, scramble for class and bus-all a quick, exuberant part of high school. The pace ac- celerates to accommodate the a d d e d responsibility of each new year of a dve nture-the wisdom of maturity and experi- ence. We turn each corner hoping for the unexpected, but never confronting it. We vi s u a liz e ourselves enhanced by caps and g ow ns, stepping gloriously to Pomp and Circumstance. 8
