Nothing happens unless first a dream, Carl Sandburg tells us, and one of the first places where enduring dreams are made is in high school. Our years at University City High were not just hours of classes and nights of homework. They were times of dream making. We dreamed of pleasing that certain someone, of finding just who we were among the crowd, and we dreamed of scoring — on the field and off, in whatever endeavor. We tried on roles and goals, and we tasted the more exalted dreams of fashioning a career and future for ourselves. In our dream making, we absorbed all around us. We formed our dreams from the heroes of our youth, by the models of our teachers, the historical greats we encoun- tered, the generous outpouring of ideas from our parents and teachers, and no less, by lis- tening to each other. Even career speakers, college visits, the unforgettable Career Plan- ning Inventory (Remember: Would you rather work outdoors with your hands or inside at a desk? ) helped form our aims. So did the wis- dom of the past and the energy of the present. X:
