The following text is taken from the back cover:

Problems that are common to out school are common to most schools. Since music is the universal language understood by all, the students of Carver Area High - under the guidance and direction of Mr. John Harris and Teddy Thomas - conceived the idea of communicating to other teenagers, through music, our concern for these problems which seem to dominate the lives of so many of our friends.

Our goal is to share with them the positive way that we, the students of Carver, approach the future, in hopes that they, too, will be able to 'Deal With It!'

Concerned Students of

Carver Area High
