and a ha, to the soul sounds of Aretha Frank- lin and Stevie Wonder. We spent hours of our high school years jam- ming to the sounds of music and somehow our music seemed to make our lives less complicat- ed. But while the differ- ences outside the class- room were evident, the expectations inside the classroom were much the same. We were all beginning to realize this ear, more than ever, the importance of planning br the future. We became more money-conscious and career-oriented. Consequently, curricu- lum changes such as the expanded EDP program reflected our changing needs. This year meant dif- ferent things to different people. We discovered that who we were and what we were about didn ' t end when the bell rang at 2:25 p.m. But instead, it was a combina- tion of all our experi- ences that directed us toward who we would become, no matter what we did or thought, our goal was the same, to make it through . . .

The years spent in high school were a time when we moved from one point to another. September marked the beginning of a new school year as we all moved one step closer to graduation. On June 6, 1986, a seemingly end- less year came to a close and we advanced to the next stage of our lives. It was just that simple. In many ways life at Three Rivers High School was that uncomplicated, that straight forward. The advancement seemed slight for most of us. We had become accustom- med to the rules and regulations and conse- quently things remained the same with few notice- able changes and only minor adjustments. But things were nev- er quite what they seemed. Moving straight to the point just wasn ' t that simple. Some of us went straight to class and some of us went straight to the office. Some went straight to practice while others went straight to work. A few of us went straight home to home- work and the rest headed straight for the couch. The student body was anything but uncom- plicated. Even though we were unified as members of TRHS, as well as mem- bers of our particular class, we were individuals first. And the individuality was apparent in every aspect of our lives as students. From class- room to lunchroom to afterschool activities, we were unique. We needed to make our own state- ments about who we were and where we were going. And we did make statements about our- selves. We took pride in either dressing up or down, depending upon our particular mood. We showed up for school in everything from minis- kirts, Bermudas in Janu- ary, stirrup pants, bright colors, denim jackets. varsity jackets, baggy Shaker knit sweaters, and sweats pulled up to our knees. But there was more to making a state- ment than just our war- drobes. Our clothes were just one aspect that made us the same, yet different. There was, of course, another common thread . . . music, we loved mu- sic. Any time and any place. It was usually the first thing to wake us up and the last thing we heard before falling asleep. But it was all kinds of music that inter- ested us. From the rock rhythm of Dire Straights, Starship, Phil Collins, Contemplating the situation.
