Qllamiir-al As the sands of time slip by and we begin to taste the bittersweet world we live in, we begin to create our own india vidual touch of class. We the Tilden High School Class of 1986 have reached that time in our lives where we must put our own individualism into action so that we can achieve our goals. The name of our yearbook has always been The Classic. But what does this word mean? Classic is that which survives the pas- sage of time. When CocasCola decided to do away with the new and bring back the old, they applied HClassic'l to their old formula. The root of the word 'tclassicv is class. Our Touch of Class has been kindled, and will flourish, We have been affected by fads, the times, and the environment. The grand result is you. There are 'iclassicsf' all around us. For many years, our prime preoccupation has been obtaining our education. We have had little time to see the world and cap- ture its significance. For example, we live - in the i'Classic Cityf, but only recently have we been able to truly experience its awesome beauty and cultural treasures. The Class of 1986 has been captured in the pages of this book to elicit memo- ries of our second home, Tilden. Tilden HS. is a city of its own, with a melting pot creating an aroma of uniqueness. The doors are like a turnstile, constantly re- volving to give us our individual style. We've seen a number of Classic Lifes- tyles here at Tilden. We've seen all the fads and fashions from the high afros to bell-bottom pants, to plaids, to platform shoes. It seemed that they would never go out of style. Yet it's funny how many times we change ourselves before choosing the one lifestyle we like the best. We've become a part of cliques, clubs, and gangs just be- cause it's the in thing to do. Tilden also consists of people from dif- ferent backgrounds and cultures. ln a sense, we've created a sense of cultural pluralism. lt may be small, but it is our own Classic Culture.
