D^W\0REST,

Um^t

There is a new day dawning, this day is
mid-September. Some of us are embark-
ing for the first time on the four-year
journey of a life-time. Nervous Fresh-
men as new students wander aimlessly,
while veteran Sophomores, Juniors talk
over past journeys. Seniors in all their
glory dream of the ever elusive gradua-
tion day, while experiencing a bitter
sweet sadness that this is the last of their
four year journey. Whether the new day
of Freshmen, the semi-new day of Soph-
omores and Juniors, or the last new day
of Seniors This warm September day
is a new dawning in all our lives.

Charting our course is not always easy. It
takes much thought, planning, discuss-
ing and daydreaming to come up with a
suitable course. We joke with our friends
about what we'll do when we "grow up",
and wonder to ourselves what we'll real-
ly do. Some of us already have our life's
course in our world all planned out,
while others of us still dream. We are the
world of tomorrow plotting our course in
today.

New discoveries are made every day. In
English Class we discover great authors;
in Biology, the workings of cells; in Edu-
cation classes, the methods of leading
others to discover. Along with our intel-
lectual discoveries come discoveries of
friends, of relationships, and life in gen-
eral. The discoveries make our world a
continual source of adventure.

Up! Up! Over the clouds we soar, flying
high. Amid all the flurry of finals, mid-
terms, and pop-tests we rise above and
fly. We build snowmen, go on road-
trips, have mid-night burger runs, or
just have a good time with friends. Some
say these are the best times of our lives.
And as we stay up for all night cram
sessions, we know we will always re-
member these times of flying high.

Following Our Dreams
When we embard on our journey, our
minds and hearts are full of dreams.
Some dream of riches our journey may
bring. Others dream of fame after our
journey is done. Still others try to fulfill
dreams along the way: some date, some
marry, some have children. Some be-
come presidents, editors, or queens:
while still others chase on, still follow-
ing their dreams.

When we begin to slow down on our
voyage we need to catch a breeze. This
usually happens toward the end of the
quarter, but sometimes as early as the
middle. Then comes a breeze under the
name of Christmas or Spring break. We
celebrate with laughter, smiles, and "See
you next quarter!" Imperceptibly, we
have caught a breeze and our journey
continues.

*

Chasing the Wind

The wind blows cold as we chase it be-
tween the clouds. We can't always see
just what it is that we are chasing, but we
continue our voyage anyway. When
asked, some say they are going on the
journey because their parents made
them, others say they want a career.
Then there are those who say they don't
really know why the voyage is so impor-
tant, but it is. And so we continue, ever
chasing the wind.

Back on our journey, we fly into Winter
quarter. Some people dropped out of our
number, but new faces fill the places of
missing ones. We begin to bury our-
selves in books and studies and to hide
from the cold wind of winter. Our
minds, which have been dormant for a
month, wake up to continue our facinat-
ing journey.

.J^ja

Throughout our journey, there may be
storms, all of different degree. During
the winter, we run into a few storms.
Some of the storms are worse than oth-
ers. We might fail a test, argue with
friends, or have trouble with term pa-
pers. But if we just hold on, we can fly
above the storms and move toward the
turning point.

18

Sometimes the only way to get on with
our journey is to read the signs. Reach-
ing for the stars, always keeping our
goals in mind is all that keeps us going.
We follow the signs and make it through
storms and closer to home.

Spring Quarter is our turning point. Our
journey is more than half over now, we
are on the last leg. The weather changes
and with the sunshine, our attitude
changes. We smile when we meet in the
halls, only about 75 more days. We try to
concentrate on our classes while our
mind wanders to what's happening after
class.

Our journey draws to a close, we head
back toward home. It's been a long 225
days, but the feeling of accomplishment
we have is worth the time. No more
classes, no more tests. Now we can go
home to our families and to summer
jobs. But the internal journey, the eternal **
education goes on.
