442: 74 Om Stofzq A short story has many basic requirements: plot, setting, local color , . . . but what would these be without the characters? Characters are people who may be in almost any walk of life, from any country, or any size and shape. Characters do not merely exist but also add to the story life, color, and an extra touch to give the reader an understanding of the events taking place. Just as the short story must have characters, the students become Ncharacterd' in our story of the school year. Sophomores entering a new school, making new friends, and renew- ing old acquaintances provided the school story with new faces and ideas. Chrisman standards and methods were new to these people, but after the first few weeks they captured many honors and awards, making Chrisman extremely proud of its talented newcomers, Juniors, the in-between members of William Chrisman, carried on the memories and ideals of the past year and helped to introduce under- classmates to the student body. They assumed many more responsibilities and continued to retain esteem by winning even more honors than in the past.

But whatever their future, they will soon realize that the years at William Chrisman have enriched their lives and have helped make them better citizens. Definitely, the 1,050 students of William Chrisman have made possible the unforgettable memories that the story of the school year has produced.
