CHANGE For better or worse Sometimes your con- fronted with a situation that can seem over- whelming at first. Mow it turns out is solely deter- mined by how you re- spond. And how you re- spond is a reflection of how strongly you believe in yourself. Recently, we've faced some tough times as a school. But we've re- sponded by being tough- er. We had to, in order to build the leaner, more ef- ficient, better disciplined school we have become. We had to ask ourselves, What kind of a school did we want to be?'' In pursuit of this goal we had to find the right key to open many new doors. On the outside, the doors may have looked the same but once the doors were opened it was very evident that each challenge was unique in it's own characteristics. We have tried to por- tray this by making each section of the book as different as each aspect of our school is different. In order to really exper- ience the true character, one has to walk through many different doors within the school. The di- vision pages portray the same doors that bring about the unity through- out the school. Doors had to be opened in areas ranging from eligibility, to new teachers, to athletics, to a completely new daily class schedule. Students not only had to adjust to not having activity period, but also to an extra hour of study during the the day. But doors were not only opened in the area of learning. Many doors were also opened in the athletic area. Athletic participants had to be- come accustomed to each other quickly and effectively. In all sports the 87-88 season brought on a new chal- lenge. The teams were new, some coaches were new and the style of play- ing was definitely new. — By Stephanie Silva Trying new things through ini- tation.

One such car was a big green Cadillac owned by Rachel Middlebrooks. A lot of us would just pile in Ra- chel's car, cruise, chase after guys and sometimes we would even go knocking on windows,'' said Vicky Pickens. No matter how the car was ob- tained, or what the condition; the hope was always there. Sherrona Wood had an early birth- day present, ! got my car 2 months before my birthday! What a great birthday present. The hottest brand of car in the park- ing lot was Chevrolet, with Ford a close second; Buick and Oldsmobile were tied for third according to a park- ing lot survey taken in October. Melissa Hughan said she got her first set of wheels as a hand-me- down from my sister. The way cars were obtained ranged from the hand-me-downs to the hard workers that spent their summers la- boring for their vehicles to inheiren- tance. It was hard work, said Josh Lam- bert but I've got a hot car. Josh spent his summer working at the Phil- lips 66 filling station. My uncle died and my Mom and Dad bought his car for me to drive, said Shane Seaton. Teens often learn automotive knowledge in Drivers Ed.; however, some learned from first hand exper- ience. One student that put his auto- motive experience to good use is Sen- ior, Wade Sunderland. Me won the Di- vision 5 National Raceway Champion- ship held in Denver, Colorado, Sep- tember 20th. The United States and Canada were divided into 5 divisions for national racing; our area was geo- graphically located in the central divi- sion. Wade qualified for nationals by first winning the high school bracket in Liberal, Kansas. My dad inspired me to race. Me began racing when he was seventeen, and I began last year, said Wade. Being able to go where you want, when you want, is what some stu- dents seemed to like most. Besides, said Robert Yeadon- , having a car sure beats walking any time! By Cassie Musgrave
