OF A S C H O O L Frustrating foul-ups: along with the good, there were the other times — times full of anxiety, tension and exhaustion as we strived to do well on our research papers and produce Grade A assignments or understand ex- actly what the lab assignment was all about. These feelings were also generated as we observed the unrest that marked other areas of the world, most notably the continuing civil war in Lebanon and the swift U.S. invasion of the tiny island nation of Grenada. When we paused to observe our continuing efforts, all our work seemed worth it: we counted ourselves lucky. We were working toward a basic common goal in an at- mosphere created in a blockbuster of a school. In honor of the 260 peacekeeping Marines who were killed by ter- rorists in Beirut.

OF A Successful scenes: the ideal was what we wanted and ultimately the reason we were here. Immediately most visible were our volleyball and football teams, both honored as district cham- pions. Other positive indica- tions appeared in the form of the Student Council-sponsored food drive when Mr. John Gor- don's second period class col- lected over 1,100 items. Less visible were successful classroom activities and the powerful personal emotions that resulted from these per- sonal triumphs that at times soared as high as the Space Shuttle.
