STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! by Rob Abrams Out of all the major duties that school brings upon students, the least liked is studying. Some students just dread study time. Listening in class, taking notes and doing homework is a lot easier than studying for a subject. The reward that studying brings is very much worth all of the late night hours and cramm- ing for exams. One must study in order to pass and if you don ' t pass then you don ' t get to graduate. Graduation is the thing that you work towards, so study study study!!!! ACADEMICS 51

PRIDE AND PERFECTION by Brian Dillion Wrestling is much more than two guys rolling around trying to pin each other ' s shoulders to the mat. It is a quest to build pride in himself and perfection in one ' s body and skills. The individual pushes himself to achieve his goal. The drive to win is inside the wrestler, bringing out his inner strength to push himself past what he thought he could do. To run that extra mile, to do that extra pushup, to lose that pound the day of the match to make weight. A wrestler has won ' t power. I won ' t get pinned, I won ' t feel pain, I won ' t eat that pizza at lunch. Wrestlers have personal unity because only they know the feeling of pushing themselves to the limit and making it. Wrestling is a disease that affects a chosen few and only the best make it. WRESTLING 53
