From the first day of kindergarten to the long anticipated graduation day, school memories compose a collage of laughter, tears, ·adness and joy. This collage is as diverse a() each person, but several memories stand out throughout the years. Elementary is a carefree time ofr ece ·s, cursive, and show and tell. Memorie ofj ump-rope, football, and fluoride days rush back during a cia" is party or study hall. Elementary is a time of learning basics, and forming friend<.;hips and memories that will last forever. In Junior High, student<:; adjust to being with the high school on a day-to basis and trying not to act too "foolish" in front oft hem, in fear ofw hat they might think. Junior High student<:; al o gain the privileges of ports, band and lockers, as well ali the joys of a some what stricter dres code, more homework, and chapel notes. The Freshman year brings activities such as speech and choir. Thi is a vital year as many students shape their identities when they choose activities, friend , and cla'ise , while still worrying about what the upperclassmen think of every move they make. Sophomores u ually have a fun year, since they are estab lished in high school activities and know what goes on in the teenage mind. The idea of finals is normal now, and do not scare a sophomore in the same way it could have in the past. Juniors gain a rush of re ponsibility, with concessions and preparations for Junior- Senior. Juniors realize that not many people care if they act illy or not, because the main things caring them are Algebra 2 tests or if enough was ordered for the pop machine . Seniors immediately gain a fre h outlook. With just nine month left until graduation, they hurriedly fill out applications, aid forms and fini h term papers. Seniors are no longer scared ofo thers. They are scared ofc ollege essays, ACT score , and the rest oft heir lives. The Senior cla<.;s looks forward to that final day, walking across and feeling the diploma secure in hand. A memory is made in each chool day to add to the collage of each person. Each collage i different, but all are beautiful. Each school day, no matter how boring, mu t be cherished, because the memorie will last forever in the collage ofe ach person's life. --Emily Sue Ferris 2 People Senior Shell Berek pau'>es during a pep rail y for the Eagles.

Attendance. tlag salute~. announcements. le~son plans. making copies and cor recting tests ~rre just some of the things occupying a teacher's da). Students usually think. they have too much work, and that teachers <-.pend their time tl)•ing to think of long. time con uming assignments to keep their student<.; occupied. In reality, teachers do put a lot of time and effort into their classes to make them organized and enjoyable. Teachers want to enable student<-. to have a working kno~ ledge of the subject matter to become effective and responsible in giving back to others. Student~ are being prepared for the future. Faculty and Staff Teachers also play another part in students lives--that of role models and ex amples to tudents of the Christian life-style. They teach children to love God with all thetr heart, souL mind, and disciple <-.tudent"> to develop the chamcteris tics of Christ in their lives. Being with teachers give student<-. a chance to see them model Chri tlik.ene in their daily live<.;. By providing knowledge of God and His control of all things and teaching students how to apply His commands in real life. they help studen~ to formulate a Christian mind and put these prin ciples into pmctice in therrown hve . Teachers al o need to be daily learners in order to teach others. 2 Peter 3:18 <..ays. "But grow in gmce and knowledge of our Lord and c;avior Je us Christ."
