See cece ee pea GAMES WE PLAY Who can play? Anyone willing to take a chance to better themselves and help others. Who can win? Anyone and everyone. 1. In the game of Student Life a cer- tain amount of risk is always taken. Rules must be followed, sometimes an- other person’s game has to be played but eventually the choice is yours — you can make your own rules and cre- ate a new game or continue playing, living by someone else’s rules, playing their game. 2. To play the game of Life, students must do only one thing — participate. As the pages are turned, face after face appears; be assured, no face will be forgotten. Because in this book is etched forever the memory of every student participating in the life of this school. 3. Players of the game Payday are the faculty that teaches, guides and supervises the students. The rewards of this game are for both the players and whom they affect. The teachers and other faculty members dispense knowledge and experience and the students receive it. 4. Sports are appropriately called Twister. Students are pulled every which way both physically and mental- ly. Team effort and sportsmanship come first, but individual performance is important too. The rewards? Recog- nition and self-satisfaction. 5. Stay alive is the game involving clubs and organizations. Many times students get involved in several differ- ent activities, and staying alive is the primary concern. Work and dedication are required but it’s worth it. 6. The community plays a part in the high school version of Careers. With afternoon and summer jobs, the com- munity supports students and also gives them their first glimpse of life in the working world. The job experience given to the students during the high school years will help them in the fu- ture. The rules — simple; the game of Life — difficult. Effort and perseverance enable the player to finish. Determina- tion enables him to win. Storyline 3
