THE ART OF EXPRESSION . . Art. Drama. Production. Creativity is expres- sion. The ability to create takes talent and years ot practice. In SWMHS there are many outlets for creative energies. The flow of a paintbrush on a canvas, the cre- scendo and decrescendo of a classic musical score, and the roaring of applause in a packed theatre, are all the rewards for hours of practice and rehearsal. By participating in art shows, con- cert band, and the school's theatrical productions, those extremely gifted students receive an oppor- tunity to enjoy the feelings of accomplishment and pride from their completed masterpieces. But the circles of creativity also encompass the world of history, academics, and shops. The tension and excitement of creative competition is well- known to all members of the Olympics of the Mind, DECA, and ACT teams. However, even non-com- petitive activities such as ccoking, photography, and industrial arts offer the imaginative mind a doorway to stretch out into the world of reality. Through the art of expression, many students have found a method to state their personality. Creative forces surge in most of us. Just learn to . . . . . let loose!

STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART School years are a period of learning, growing, and maturing. While spending day after day with one another, students are constantly exchanging ideas, ambi- tions, but most of all, friendship. These feel- ings of closeness are the causes of smiles, hugs, and great weekends. But, it is also a source of strength which gets most people through hard times as well as good ones, However, the sharing experience also extends to the teachers, who both in and out of the classroom, give their time and effort to help their students learn and grow. The heart of sharing is in granting some- one time, help, and support. But mainly it is in giving a part of yourself. By sharing, stu- dents become wiser, more well-rounded indiviuals which is one of life's ultimate re- wards. With the sun shining bright.
