The excitement is always there. lt fills the air when dances, dates or special occasions occur. Hours of preparations involve searching for that perfect dress or suit to wear. Excuses are made in order to convince parents to surrender- the keys to the car or a few extra dollars. Happiness and heartbreak are common among high school students, as they fall in and out of love. Pounding hearts and sweating palms are normal reactions, to try- ing to find the way to ask that special someone out on a date. Throughout their busy schedules, students set time aside to prepare for tests. They rush to the library at the last minute in order to finish their research papers or homework assignments. They stayed late after school and came early in the morning to complete their deadlines. Pride is easily found throughout the school. Band members are up at the crack of dawn, rehearsing for the game or competition. Slowly they begin to march the track, try- ing to keep every step together and every note on key. They practice at midnight in order to show their determination and start the season first, never complaining, doing it for the pride they have in their school and themselves. The beginning of the new year brings second chancesg the oppor- tunity to become the best, to make mere dreams into a reality. lt lets you make a lasting impression, a chance to be heard and express your ideas. The experiences lasting forever and the 'MEMORIES SAFE lNSlDE,' your mind will never be fo rg ott e n. CUTTING IT UP! Top left: Bryan Lynn sits quietly making confetti for the spirit contest.
