Te All Begins With A Dream In July of 1984, the U.S. hosted an uplifting, chill- up-the-spine Olympic Games. Despite an Eastern-bloc boycott, America kept the Olympic spirit alive, and Americans seemed to glow with patriotism. In reflect- ing on the American Dream and what it meant to us in 1984-85, it was an event that stands out, because the country was in a jaunty, upbeat mood. Hippies had become Yuppies in 1985, and most sen- iors at Seaside had upward mobility upmost on their minds. Money and materialistic success was the dream for most; and for many, high-tech seemed to be the ticket there. The computer revolution made BASIC a second language for thousands of students, but more importantly, seemed to open new territory for Ameri- can ingenuity, economic growth, and the dream of opportunity! The questions might be asked: Were we complacent, superficial, self-centered? Were we short on curiosity, social concern, idealism? Hopefully not. We will de- cide someday if the dream of peace will come from a Star Wars system or from something else; whether computers will depersonalize our lives or enrich them; whether science will solve problems or create them. The American Dream has always involved freedom, justice, equality, opportunity. And it always looks ahead to the future and involves the ideas of progress and change. For each of us, it all begins with a dream! And if you can dream it, you can achieve it.
