Arts O ften overlooked by the students, the arts are sometimes deprived the true credit they deserve. Just as important as any other subject, Art in¬ vokes an inner creativity. Just as English is to compositions. Art is to expression into material medium. Art is not the only choice. There ' s also Industrial Arts, Music, Home Economics, Humanities, and the Business. Now with the high school ' s expansion of options, there is something for everyone. To some it ' s just, What ' s the difference? But it is an excellent way to express your innerfeelingsand still getsomecreditfor it. Somewhere, someone has gone through great grievances to bring the students what we deserve. What we must all remember in the end is that no matter what we are all different and we all have our own form of art. — by Kent Matsueda RENEE Lacascia and Erin Hartigan create modern art.

Guidance D eadlines! The guidance office seems to always be working to meet deadlines on everything from course selections to college applica¬ tions. Seniors are often found running to their guidance counselor a few days before their college application is due and hand¬ ing a pile of forms that need to be filled and sent out. Yet, being the generous people they are, they accept these forms without hesitation. The guidance counselors en¬ courage students to talk with them not only about academics but also their personal lives. The guidance department con¬ tinuously helps students plan their futures as well as their years at Winchester High School. The people there are always will¬ ing to help students with course selections, course changes, and college applications in addition to helping them find career goals. The mini-colleges are also run by them. However, through all types of chaos, the guidance department seems to have a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for all those who enter it. — by Kelly Dobson PUTTING his artistic talent on paper, Tim Rahmeier blends a wide arry of colors to produce a watercolor display for art class.

English A mastery of English is important. This is why everyone, five days a week for four years, trudges into the various English classes. One may love En¬ glish and therefore writes a great deal, or one may not like English at all. However, it is clear to all that no one can graduate with¬ out English. The better developed one ' s English skills are, the more success one will likely have. Of course, this learning process proves to be easier if one works with an English teacher that one likes. However, this does not mean that there is just one favorite teacher in the English department; every teacher is unique. For example, Ms. Caniff offers youth and a liberal mind, while Dr. Russell teaches with wisdom and experi¬ ence. All in all, the English department tries to help develop a strong proficiency for one to use in everyday life. — by Joan Matelli JOE Tahnk and David McClintock enjoy distracting Keith Leonard between periods from his Masterpiece reading assignment.
