Each tall the ritual begins anew. September means new courses, new faces, new concepts, and new chal- lenges. This holds true forthe students as well as the teachers. As the year begins, the majority of the students turn their attention toward mastering these concepts and conquering these challenges. Granted, academics may not always be in the limelight, but they are the main purpose of schools. Any extra- curricular activity is just that - extrag the icing on the cake.

It is where we start preparing for our careers, and where we start developing our interests. .l k,.?, if 'Wig ,9,'Z '5F 5 a iw ' t wa? 1 -Wf -8 WM ,f' in-4' - f :V Tx Wt M fd'-4' Q ' wlrifp 4 .av f Xl 2. .- - -f x .. .Laid
