25、e,51 doors)has given a unique theme to their doors. Futhers theme is “Time Kills” and shows how precious time is. “The challenge was with making the hourglass rotate(旋转)，”，said Futher, who wants to study art in university.And a sentence carved on the door says it all, “If one door closes, more open.

26、” “The theme of doors symbolizes what is ahead for the students,” said Varey, visual arts head at the school. “One door is closing for them(the students graduate this year),but many more will open forthem.” Varey, who is fiercely proud of the class, said he knew the students would do a great job. “W

27、hen I told them the theme in September, they were more excited than worried.
