image in a
process of

casting away . . .
growing and

changing and
becoming.

i am undergoing a

metamorphosis in

search of "me." i

this is not me.

we explore the
experience of
learning as we
experiment with
various new ideas,
we learn by reading
books, but not by
books alone, you
will find us at
plays, student
teaching, working
on service projects of
our own. learning
can happen at
any time, any­
where. we learn
by watching, by
participation, by,
dialogue.

come and sit

here with us.
today is too
beautiful to

ignore.

a thousand faces
mirrored in the stillness of time
reflect the
image of yesterday,
capture the
kaleidoscope of today,
hold the
promise of tomorrow
in the ever-changing spectrum
of expression.

our dedication is given to
the faces of permian high school.
the expressions of becoming.
-a ll those who have been
-a ll those who are
—all those who will be
absorbed in the time of involvement,
fulfilling the promises
whispered by the faces
. . . your face
. . . my face

i thought about
the word, but
somehow it meant
more, than just
to lead cheers,
it meant setting
an example
for the entire
student body.
