Imagine This Becoming The road to becoming was paved with hardship and decision. A wrong turn at a fork in the road could lead to a cabbage farm or a brick wall. Just as a right turn could lead to fortune, or fame. As you stop at little towns on your road, you could pick up wisdom, a souvenir spoon, or a husband and five kids. A simple act such as stopping at a gas station and choosing Funyuns over Clo- ver Club Chips or Mellow Yellow over Mountain Dew could change your life. Setbacks would occasionally occur on your trip. These could strengthen or weaken your determination depending on how you handled the situation. Since your destination was mostly unknown, you might stop too early, or go past your stop. But part of becoming was the ability to adapt to a less than perfect situation and to fill in the potholes to make the way smooth. The road had been taken and you were now on your way. The completion of the painstaking Freshman year, or the end of the lengthy Senior year, left you with numerous accomplishments and a sense of becoming. ZOOM! ZOOM!

Timpview graduates from years past swore they wouldn't go to other Utah colleges and a small percent- age did make it to an out of state col lege. The step, after realizing your dreams and your goals, is to materialize those goals. Become what you want. Reach and soar to gain your reward. As graduation day loomed larger, Seniors began to realize the full implica- tion of leaving the sheltered and easy life of high school. Students had to make the difficult decision between get- ting a job or going to a college or univer- sity. Real life, anticipated for many years, would soon begin. Many Seniors left Timpview with var- ious conflicting feelings. All were glad to be through with high school, but many didn't want to lose the easy life of high school. A life where you knew that you had something to do everyday, a place to go and were surrounded by all A REAL HIT. Two friends. Robert Jolley and Terral Cochran take time out to get into the shimmering snow. Even the snow is very sparse this year, skiing is a favorite pastime. VIDEOS ANYONE?
