Mataclors Are Symbols Of Prlde The Matador, the symbol of Parkland High School, is a proud symbol. lt is the symbol of pride and accomplishment. Not everyone can be a Matador, but it is a goal sought after. All Matadors, real and symbolic, go through stages to become ready to enter the arena, whether it is to face a fierce, fighting bull or to be ready for whatever life has in store. Each Matador begins at the bottom and works his way up. He starts as a Novillero-an apprentice matador-AND SEEKS the high honor of becoming a full fledged matador, a graduate. The pro- gress made from the freshman to the senior year is much like that between the novillero and the matador. The first year is the one with indecision. Each one wonders which road is the right one for him. Once the goal is known, the road is easy to follow.

'K..- .2521 Ay.f W..kW-, l: Q . . g ,:,, ig Q gf . WR t Headway is progress. Progress is the movement forward nearer a goal. It can take various forms in many people. It is not reserved to one person. Headway can be the participation in the various sports, the addition of tennis courts or going through the ranks from being freshmen to seniors. The Arena staff feels that Matadors have made enormous head- way, so we are putting this book together about you. Headway can happen without anyone being aware of it. Or it can happen so slowly that we are not aware of it at first. Whatever we do, whatever happens is progress. Everything we do, we know it will be done to the best of our ability. To make progress, all that has to be done is the application of ourselves to do what need to be done. LEFT: Trish Morgan and Terri Butler take time to pose during the DECA initiation breakfast.
