People Freedom - tradition blend here are more than 1200 people at VC. We'll never know half of them: we'll just hurry past them in the halls. We'll go through four years of high school and never really know the people who went through with us. And that's sort of sad. So many different peopleg all with their own ideas, their own smiles, their own way of laughing, and their own kinds of fun. During our lives, we've seen changes and made changes. But being too young, we weren't aware of the major changes, the breaking from tra- ditions tthe hippie movementj that characterized the 60's. Of course we've read about it tbrieflyj in books and have seen pictures of hippies tone or twoj in magazines, but nothing more. We, however, have inherited the freedom the 60's revolutionaries won. And beside the freedom we've placed those traditions which still have meaning for us. The freedom we've inherited has been blended among the 1200-odd people at VC to form the individualg everyone doing his own thing his own way. Allen Sargeant collects bottles. Ann Venuti composes and sings her own songs. Kira Skala and Iaime Sua- rez dance. Mr. Haggar could have been a professional photographer. We are all different and all individ- uals. fAbovej With a student population nearing the 1500 mark, locating one person is a case of the proverbial finding a needle in a haystackf' Guidance counselor, Mr. Som Tucker, searches the North Cafeteria for a stray junior. fRightJ High school students worry more about their appearance.
