In LIGHT Of 1982 The lighthearted atmosphere and fun found on the sidelines more than compensate for all the hard work put in by the soft- ball team. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. John F. Kennedy In the beginning, there was light. It shone upon the earth much like it does today, unchanged and unconquerable. It summons us to rise each morning, providing us with the vitality to endure the daily grind of school work. It guides us along on our morning routines, and, in a mechanical form, directs us safely to and from school. Light carries us through the halls to our respective fields of study, and invites us outdoors for enjoyment during our lunch periods. It lets us view friends, teachers, and whatever catches our eye during uninteresting lessons. When the light of day fades, we head home on illuminated roadways, and receive a warm welcome from a glow- ing porch light. Upon first entering our houses, most of us open the refrigerator door, and that little lightbulb turns on. Does that light stay on when you close the door?

Light Breeds Color Of all life’s simple pleasures, the most beautiful are those we perceive in color. The brilliant yellow of the number two pencil, the vivid green of the football field, and the infinite sea of blue jeans all combine to brighten the outlook of the SWMHS student.
