Note When we first-begarvto consider doing a series of interviews and public opinion polls tor this book, we were afraid that ' all we would find would merely help prove what adults have been sayingfor years — t h a f tee nager s are basics ily cynicai and sarcastic. Well, after having polled or interviewed nearly every student in this school, we ' ve come to the con- clusion that some adults have a , very misguided conception of this generation. Once we ' d learned to cope with the hundreds of question- naires that never were in the same place twice and the tope recorders which refused to.wcrk, we discovered that Valparaiso High v Sehoolstudents in general are optimistic, sincere, and talkative. We’d like to take this oppor- tuni ty to inviteall of you — students, teachers, and.skepticai parenis - - to read on. Jointhestudents of Valparaiso High School as they take an inward glance, a brief inspection of themselves and their objectives. We hope you won’t be too surprised, but we ' re sure that you ' ll be pleased. 2 r-
