Desire to create, ever present goal of fine arts. Teachers Moti ate, Pupil p rf orm sign by Mariezjatqueline King mudging the glass of the display window, a student points out several pictures to a friend. Mick and the Stones appear almost lifelike on one page, sharing the spotlight with a lovable Panda and an airborne ballerina. These drawings not only exemplified the tedious hours many gifted students spent struggling to perfect their talentsg they represented the pride that drove so many participants of the Fine Arts toward achieving their goals. Hours after school had ended weary drama students appeared on a dimly lit stage rehearsing a scene that they had seemingly rehearsed thousands of times before. They strove to bring the performance together, and in the one glorious instant when it all becomes synchronized and their minds seemed to work as one, their efforts rewarded. As the janitor wandered through the nails and began to attack the clutter left by students during the day, he muttered a curse about the sloppiness of kids. The school seemed hauntingly desolate and barren aside from the distorted voices of the aspiring actors. Near the end of the hall, a familiar melody floated out to him from behind closed doors. He looked in to find a room full of band members staring intensely at the music sheets displayed before them. The music stopped abruptly and the voice of Mr. jim Van Zandt took its place. A moment later the same song is repeated beginning again from the start. As he took a few more steps down the hall the janitor again heard a melody coming from behind closed doors. This time, however, the music was not instrumental. Child-like voices sang out with such clarity and precision he wondered ' they had stayed so late practicing. Tl' voices belong to members of the Rebel Cl program which has become widely respeo in recent years. Much credit was due to hard work and encouragement of ll Patricia Neighbors. As he turned again to task of cleaning up the carelessly discari trash of the students, he looked upon the with a newfound hope. These students were digging wig themselves for that inner something caused them to always want to improve. T symbolized the heart of the school fr which the student body obtained life. diversified as the courses may have been, Fine Arts department worked together wit: unity and strength that could not surpassed. -julie Richards

J umbled angling participles and infinitive phrases baffled the already jumbled minds of many students. The sullen eyes of William Shakespeare and many other early literature heroes looked upon the classes from their places on the wall. Many sophomores, somewhat distraught by the heaps of grammar be ing hurled at them, found literature to be a welcome change. 'Julius Caesar, no matter how dif- ficult it became to comprehend, was preferred to swimming through adverb modihers. junior English students trudged through a great procession of writers and poets who ranged from sixteenth century to modern day, concentrating on short stories more than the prestigious works. As junior theme time roll- ed around many juniors longed for the days The use of headphones in foreign language classes proved especially helpful in the area of pro- nunciation.

Pbato by Tony Saldana. Processions of writers and literary works are presented to clear up Mind of the incomprehensible grammar. Creative writing and composition were designed to help aspiring writers perfect their style. Developmental reading concentrated on improving the reading speed and comprehen- sion of the graduate hopefuls. Humanities, to many seniors, resembled an oasis in their desert of learning. Mr. Rolf Eklund introduc- ed students to music and art beginning with Bach and continuing into the sixties with Bob Dylan and the Beatles. Though the objectives of the different grades and classes were unique, English reach- ed out to bring improved communication skills and a better way of expressing ourselves to the world.julie Richards
