Dying A man stands crying, softly dying, In a darkened empty room, His back is turned as it in hiding From a light that isn't guiding tThe light he finds is simply blindingj He's troubled by the gloom. Silent tears roll off his cheek, The hidden fears of tomorrow They hit the ground and burst apart Like the broken pieces of his heart To illustrate his sorrow. In a moment of interjection He turns toward his reflection And as he lowers to his knees, His image remains standing And sees the life it was commanding Hollow with the breeze. As the wind blows through the wooden room lt takes with it the stains Of shattered dreams and endless crying, Of what it means to be dying, And still the shell remains . . . And still he feels the pains. By Josh Hose Ena'ing.r If all endings are new beginnings - l'll begin it once more with you.

By Annie Bradshaw Me Sitting quietly by the sea. A new day, same old me. l wonder if things are going to change. Sometimes life's easy, sometimes it's strange. Wondering what's going on in me.

smoking section on a high s c h ool c a m- p u sl Another u n l q u e feature of Tor- r e y Pines,tt'e smoking ' H section was approved by the Board of Education in 1977. Although any high school in the district may take advantage of this opportunity, Torrey Pines is one of the few that has done so. Some argue that by having a smoking section on campus, orrey Pines is ttpromoting the use of cigiarettesf' owever, the purpose of the smoking section is not to promote smoking but rather forthe well-being of non-smoking students. lt is important to have a smok- ing seciton so that non-smokers are not forced to breath smoky air from people sneaking smokes all over the campus, stated Dion Barca. he smoking section serves as a compromise: In many schools where smoking is prohibited, students end up smok- ing in such places as the bathrooms. By doing this, not only does a campus superviser have to constantly check the bathrooms, but other non-smoking students are subject to the inhalation of smoke, With a smoking section this problem does not exist. The smoking seciton is a case of choosing 'the lesser ot two evils as George Robinson. the Director of Student Activities put it. There are other issues conceming the smoking sec- tion as well. The smoking section has always been out back, facing nothing. Now with the construction ofthe stadium around the comer iwhich the smoking section will be facingj the condition of that area has become a big issue. In the past few years the area has become increasingly unkept. Where there once was a mural, there is graffiti. They just don't seem to take pride in it like they used to. said Assistant Principal, Raul Escamillo. However there was one group of students who fina- ly took pride in their area. Sophomore, Daren Miller along with his friends requested fund from the Site Council to paint a mural on the smoking section wall. The Site Council did fund the mural which was painted soon after. Because of the concem these students have shown, the future of the smoking section may not be so bleak after all. - Annette Hecht he BARRED IN, Wendy Johnson, Adrienne Humphreys, and Theresa Hill relax on one of the few benches in the smoking section, stfg ,-up 1.1 ai.
