JCDURNEY T THPIUGHP TIME E ou're now joumey- ing down the isle of freedom, Your steps near the man who holds 1 pa rt of you r gi 3 destiny. ln a few moments, the handing of a piece of paper will abruptly end 36 months of your life at Torrey Pines. ln the last moments of being a Senior, your thoughts reel back over the 792 days spent here. The 5544 hours you endured on this very campus whirl and flood your brain with a mixture of pleasure and pain.

Each year Torrey Pines Seniors descend on those last steps with the security and knowledge that they can succeed in the growing competitive world, and the handing of that single piece of paper symbo- lizes not only the end of four long years of high school, but most im- portantly, it represents a key for a successful loumey towards the future. - Cassie Doerfling ESTATIC about completing a math pro- blem Frank Schlenter takes a breather.
