2 Opening Flight: The sun, peering over the dawn landscape catches two students approaching another school day. Bottom: Mendy Carlson absorbs some additional instruction from Mr. King. Another school year, and with it comes late night studying, early morning meetings, after school practicing, and long hours work- ing. lt all seems like the same old routine, but if we stop for just a moment, we begin to realize that, piece by piece, a unique year is unfolding. This is our opportunity to be- come better friends with last year's acquaintances, or finally get to know that certain someone across the room. Maybe now we'll under- stand the math assignment with the first explanation rather than the third. This year we'll suffer through our seventh hour class in- stead of skipping. But, when we do get detentions, we will serve them one by one, or three by three as the case may be, instead of trying to serve thirty-seven in one week. This season the record will finally be broken. Possibly it will be the official school record or, just as im- portant, our personal triumph. By memorizing those last few lines of the play, baking cookies for the club bake sale or expressing our- selves through classroom work, each of us adds our personal touch to the year. Our individual effort, exerted in each and every activity we pursue, gives this year a special meaning.
