of living if you do not live for a specific reason? This is a question that people often ask themselves. Some may answer, "I live for Christ, so that he may be glorified." Others may answer, "I live to one day have children, a marriage, and a family." Often a simple "I dunno," follows. A lot of people do, however, find common ground in that they can agree that they live to be remembered. They agree that they live to influence others, to be role models, and to carve the path for generations to come. Perhaps, the purpose of a teacher is not only to teach but also to impact and influence lives, leading young ones IM'f@ ~@MEJHl~S ME VII.

fell over the crowd on September 24, 1999, as sixteen contestants on the Homecoming Court prayed that Coach Hall would announce their name as the 1999 Homecoming King or Queen. Sadly, only two of the sixteen contestants would come away as winners. "Best All-Around" Adam Colston was happily announced as king and "Most Unique" Summer Lloyd was announced as queen.
All of the guys were dressed in their tuxedoes , with their best smiles on their faces. The girls wore formal gowns which suited the comfortable fall temperature. Every contestant kept a smile on their face throughout the fun-filled night.

Sticking with our theme, "Into something new, " the 1jearbook staff has developed an exciting new section for the 'Jearbook. In place of the old "Mini Mag " section, we bring to 'JOU "Lifest1jles." This section will include current events , pictures of the senior athletes as freshmen , the mock wedding, and a fashion page. This new development has allowed us to put in more pictures of 1JOUr friends, which is what 1JOU want to see, right? Instead of assigning just one staff member to this section , the entire 'Jearbook staff worked together to bring this to 1JOU.
This is the section in the 'Jearbook designed especiall1J for 1JOU and with 'JOU in mind. It is this section that reflects 1JOU and 1JOUr times. In the future, 1JOU will look back in this 'Jearbook and show 1JOUr children exactl1j what life was like when 'JOU were their age.

Junior Kimberly Patty says: "Physical a pearance plays a role in deciding who to date, but the e must be something more in order to have a meaningful relationship ."
"Popularity doesn't mean a thing to me day none of this will matter. Besides, its just 'the masses against the classes' anyway," said senior Jill B ldwin. The most popular girls in school are not necessarily t e most beautiful, but they are the ones with the good personalitites and talents Teenagers are realizing that beauty is ot only skin deep.
Sophomore Tiffany Brock advised teenagers to "' st be yourself. Don'tfollowthecrowdoratrend." Tho ghphysical appearance is one feature that attracts Me opposite sex, achievement and good character tr its are becoming much more important.

"Accomplishment is very important. If a girl doesn't have a goal in life and doesn't have her head on straight then she doesn't need to talk to me," boasted junior Daricus Campbell. Most guys at Pepperell High School aggree that it is unfair to compare the girls at school to those seen on 1V or movies.

Because of unwritten rules in society, many teenage girls feel like they are not measuring up when it comes to being physically attractive They fear they will never find "Mr. Right," because they are not tall and skinny with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a small nose . However, there is a movement among young women that says brains, talent, and achievement do count for something. True beauty is found under the skin. Teenagers are beginning to look past the physical appearance and fall in love with inner beautv.

walk down our halls ; we sit in our classrooms ; and we ta lk to our friends We pretend that our lives will never be different. But inside our minds, inside our hearts , we stand on the edge in between our childhood and our adulthood We want to dive into everything new, -yet we are afraid to leave our past behind So we stand , waiting for the courage we need to move forward . And there behind us , although sometimes unseen , stand our teachers .
From these teachers , we are given the courage we need to move ahead From now on , we will be the ones to add the blocks of experience to our foundation. We have climbed the mountains of adolescence , but we will never forget the teachers who have lent us their knowledge . Now we must find our own . So , with our teachers nudging us from behind , we clutch our memories in one hand , hold our dreams in the other , and jump into something new
Though we do not know it -yet , the imprint that teachers leave in our minds will prove enormous and ever present. Their words will sta-y with us long after the faces of old friends have faded from our minds. When we were children, our very first teachers started the building of our foundations, and every teacher since has added a building block to the construction of our personalities . The-y are the ones who , through their knowledge , have taught us to think for ourselves , to build our dreams , and to work for a promising future.

a simple word to describe such a profound realtionship between two people. During our high school lives , friends come and 90 with the changing of the seasons. As we stand in the hallways or on the breezeway talking with our peers, we do not usually see the teachers standing with their fellow faculty members in the doorways to the classrooms entertaining thoughts of after-school plans and slowly arriving weekends. Yes, even teachers have friends.

Mini corn dogs; french fries; to us it's a meal, but to the lunchroom staff at PHS, it's a wa'j of life. While average people struggle with the simple task of making dinner for their families, these women prepare breakfast and lunch for the entire school! And th~ do this aII 180 da'js of the school 'jear.
The nutrition specialists at PeppereII often go without an'j appreciation, 'jet they continue working through the faII to the spring, despite the fact that th~ have no air conditioning in their workspace. These ladies are our onl'j source of nouishment (except for the occasional self-packed sack lunch), and th~ demand no more attention than th~ are given, despite what th~ deserve. No matter what, the lunchroom staff at PHS is alwa'js cookin' up something new!

This year the PHS softball team had two new adjustments to make. One of the two was the implementation from slow to fast pitch softball. The next change was the new softball complex. Many groups are to be credited for the new complex. The PHS athletic department, Dragon club, FBOE, Coach Ellenburg, and the many countless hours from softball parents contributed to the new stadium."Thededication day was not just another day; it was a big step forward for the program," stated senior Courtney Guest.

From the Editor...

We each learned something from one another. We learned Brooks could not write captions without the help of a worksheet courtesy of Mrs. Fowler, Lee worked hard and dilligently although it took him a few weeks to complete the task. We learned Brittney did have a place on the yearbook staff, which was with us. And last but not least, we learned that Kim could keep some of the most off-task staff members on task.
"Being the sports editor was not only hard work but also very rewarding. No one understands the head-aches and time that go into a yearbook, they just understand that they think they sho uld be in the annual more frequent! y."
"People think yearbook is an easy elective, that all we have to do is type in some names, take some pictures, and glue 'em together and it's done. If you take time to look at it, it's actually a story book of the year."
After all was said and done, we produced a great book, made new friendships, and covered the athletes of the new century.
Luckily, we had Mrs. Fowler to correct every mistake made, so we could produce a yearbook that meets the standards of our peers.
After 36 weeks, five days each week, and 92 minutes per block, we completed the sports section of the 99-00 yearbook. All of this was not easy. However, we managed to use pictures we didn't have, write stories we knew nothing about, write captions that made absolutely no sense, and, above all, learned to tolerate one another.

TheCollins ads section of the 1_1earbook stra1_1s from the normal worries of the 1_1earbook. There is no copy to write (except for this) and few pictures to crop, but as ads does come with a load of headaches of its own. Filling the pages of the ads section becomes less about art and more about business. The ads section supplies the 1_1earbookwith vital funding that allows us to expand and improve the 1_1earbook. This 1_1ear the ads staff spent man1_1 hours calling businesses from, school, mailing information to potential advertisers, and traveling all over Flo1_1d count1_1 to visit possible clients. The staff first called on man1_1 annual patrons, then began recruiting new businesses.
