-i 1 The changes in airection that we have in lives We have our familv our friends our community our school and the world th which we live, All contribute to the changes in directions we make in our life time, Our famibz has much to do with how we live our lives. They raise each of us a certain way, therefore, that makes each individual different, The way we are unique makes us want to lead a different direction in life. They change our directions by the decisions they make, Some of the decisions may be: they decide to move to a new neighborhood therefore making you change friendsg they decide to have another child therefore making you more responsible, they deciae to get a divorce therefore makzrzg you confused. All of these decisions make our lives different, forcing us to change in direction. Our friends have much to do with which direction we take in spending our time, We may like to do a certain thing, but our friends think it as uncool so we do what they think is cool by doing this we change our direction for them, so we fit in, We all are guilty of this action of wanting to be liked but we should go in the directions we want to lead and just be ourselves, Our community changes our lifestyles in all kinds of ways, For example, with all the automobile plants laying off workers it is leading the majority ofthe fhmilies at PNHS in the direction of unemployment, Also by the building of the Stadium our community has become an attraction throughout the United States, it has also made the direction of our taxes go upward, There are also minor changes that occur, but may they be major or mmor they make some impression on the directions in our lives, Our school has changed our directions in many ways, With our school being desegrated it has made the students here less prejudice, with the mm y activities that our school has to offer it has made more students involved and active, and with the leadership that our administrators have given us has put many of our lives in the right direction, With all the changes in the World how can it not affect us? For example, when Reagan went into office much of our world affairs changed in directionp some of us thought he would change them for the good but some thought for the worse. But whatever happened, good or bad, it affected us in some way, Other aspects that affect us are the deaths of famous people, the laws of mother nature and her destructive forces, and the rise of the economy, These are onbz a few of the happenings in the world. With all the changes that affect us, many of them have already or will have happened in our 1980-1981 stay at PNHS. With the help of the other members of the Avalanche Staff we will try and show you some of the changes in direction of 1981, With what we will present to you, we hope the next Change in Direction you take, is the greatest .l Change in Direction w !' if V, ... ,,,,,,, , ww :f A . -ze lite: 14 at-5 eg ',, . .LY ' VE' -. 1? it A, , gf A Af V,-V, Mt, . .
