Bowman is SPECIAL, as you can really be yourself and
still be accepted. Here it is much easier to motivate your-
self and work on your own, especially as there are no
teachers breathing down your back. When I graduate
from Bowman I will miss the personal approach of the
staff. The people who interest me are talkative, friendly,
creative, realistic, smart, and intellectual, or just simple.
They are the most unique people. I look up to my father and
Athena. They really help me to be myself and open my eyes to
reality. The most embarrassing moment of my life? I was seven,
and at the store I ran into a woman I thought was my mom. I
grabbed on to her leg, wouldn't let go, and turned a dark shade of
purple in embarrassment when I realized that the lady was NOT my
mother! Everyone in line laughed ... The wildest thing I ever did was
to throw a dozen eggs one at a time across Vons, when I was twelve. If
I built up the nerve I'd do it again!

CHANCE RUTLEDGE

The SPECIAL relationships that develop between posi-
tive-minded students and the instructors at Bowman make
this a SPECIAL school. When I graduate, I'll miss the
warmth of the faculty. I think a bigger school will be
great! It will be possible to bring the benefits of individual-
ized learning to a larger group of people. The qualities I
look for in friendship are: human head, red blood cells,
pulse! I've done far too many wild and crazy things to
single out a single one, and seeing that I'm still here I'd do
them all again! Neither boys nor girls really have it easier
than the other. Everyone has his or her personal hardships,
and no one can really say who has it harder. I look up to
anyone over 6'8", and am interested in people who can
survive within the system without being a part ofit. Yes, I
do put on an act-around friends - with 40 foot stage, full
orchestra, and captive audience ... I plan to attend col-
lege and become a professional student. If I had only one
week in which to live, I'd count the grains of sand along the
coast!
