Memories of a Treasured Year Lie Ahead. Light, color, and time; three elements of nature so common to man that he often takes them for granted. However, each of these mediums is of extreme importance to human existence. Light makes life on earth possible; color makes life interesting and beautiful, and unfortunately time makes life shorter than we sometimes would like it to be. Interesting similarities exist between these elements and human nature. When passed through a prism, a single beam of white light is divided into a rainbow of colors called the spectrum. Our lives are similarly divided into stages; largely dependent upon our decisions, friends, and degrees to which we are influenced. Certain colors of the spectrum are said to be complementary; they go well together. The same can be said of certain people. Some colors when mixed produce unexpected and often disappointing results. Much too often, similar results occur when dealing with human relationships. Time, however, has escaped all of mankind's attempts to accurately define its dimensions. Time's control over life and death is unmatched by any other phenomenon. With every tick of the clock, a moment of one’s life is lost to him forever. Nothing can bring back the past, but in a sense, time can be captured. Memories can be preser ved and restored through such means as diaries, newspaper, photography and of course, yearbooks. A reflection of beauty and color, a moment of the past restored, the 1976 Reflector. Gymnasium activities provide laughter for students, yet Mr. Rideout replies, ‘“— Hockey.”’ Longtime friends Yolanda West and Carroll Briggs enjoy moments of their Sr. year.
