Life is color. But one does not need brilliant color to render an experience colorful. The 1976-77 school year was a colorful year, whether or not all the memories were brilliant. Little moments that build up are what create memorable situations. Gradually getting to know people until it seems you've known them forever, having classes that are enjoyable because of the people or the pleasant occurrences, or the general fun and messin’ around during outside of school eventually builds up and forms your general impression of that year. OHS is much like its own separate community within the community of Ottumwa. Its rules, situations, and atmos- phere are unique to any other situation. As we prepare to leave this atmos- phere and familiar way of life, our experiences grow into the colorful memor- ies we shall always have. Introduction 9
