S howing off. Putting your- self into the spotlight. Trying to attract attention. Even bragging in a subtle sort of way. To most schools, showing off consisted of putting on their Sunday best and going out of their way to impress someone. At Warren though, things tended to be a little different. No shows. No acts. No Sunday best. Maybe it was our assets which we so proudly displayed. Or it may have been our honest attempts to accept our liabilities and try to change them. But either way, we openly and candidly handled the year with a casual sort of pride. And it was this combination which showed us that the only thing we had to prove was that we weren’t just showing off.

Assets W hen it comes to listing Warren’s assets, it’s an easy job. Nationally renowned career center? Check. Newly renovated performing arts area? Check. One of the most proficient high school computer networks in the nation? Check. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. To outside visitors we were “impressive.” But to Warren’s administration, faculty, and students, we were just us. Nothing flashy. Or overwhelming. Or overdone. From a toga-clad Latin student to a player on the champion football squad, it wasn’t a matter of impressing the world; it was a matter of impressing ourselves. To us, our assets meant substance, and that included Warren’s people, facilities, and curriculum, proving that we had more than a lot of hype. As a focal point of conversation, gossip and a good time, the cafeteria become a potpourri of people during each lunch hour. With a steady hand, an intent look, and a quick reflex, senior Eric Higbie photographs another Photography I student for a class project.
