Events, Songs, Movies, Pads, popular songs, headlines-they had their moments in our years at high school. Their permanence is in our memories only and, therefore, in our Liz Menmrie, These were not necessarily a part of school life, but they were -and some still are and may remain-a part of our life.

of Self ,Expression Today, more than ever before, students are becom- ing directly involved with the moral issues that face them. Through school or outside activities, they con- tribute to beneficial projects. Through these projects such as giving blood or collecting for the needy, stu- dents show that they are aware of the many problems that exist and are willing to do something about them. Other conscientious efforts are the annual canned food drive and the Toys for Tots campaign. Students, whether Protestant, Catholic, or jewish, show their awareness through religious affiliated ac- tivities. Through their church or synagogue youth groups, students devote time and effort to the welfare of others. Folk masses, sponsored by many local churches, attract much student participation. By con- tributing their songs and musical talent, students bring warmth, intensity, and meaning to the services. Every year the junior and senior classes exercise their right to vote by electing their class officers, just as they will elect national leaders in the future. An- other exercise of moral freedom is the pledge of allegiance to the flag each morning in the homerooms. One of the biggest moral issues this year was our country's involvement in Viet Nam. A number of students observed the Viet Nam War Moratorium, and whether they wore black armbands or Tell It to Hanoi buttons, they expressed and upheld personal opinions. Awareness and involvement in the moral and social issues of today, both local and national, are generated by a majority of the student body when they share their views and ideas with others. if r 4 5 ra, -'-4 3.
