Our impressive hilltop building is more than just an institution of learning. more than just classes with homework and tests: it is a symbol of respect and loyalty in the heart of every E-Rab. This feeling of 'Lwhat lfast High stands forl' can be found in every rec party and prom, in every play and assembly, and in every game or meet. The applause after each letter award is presented, the silence in each tense moment of a basketball game, the screaming and cheer- ing at each pep rally, and the tedious wait in line for tickets will be remembered long after test scores and grades will be forgotten.
