super seniors super seniors, super seniors ln past years it was customary to find one large picture on this page and maybe a group shot of some seniors who had managed to compile an average of 3.5 or better. This year, obviously, things were different. The yearbook staff was informed that this year would mark a new era in that the school had decided to recognize not only the top grade point average senior but also that person who had the second highest average. Well. the selection of the valedictorian was not too difficult. Patrick Twomey had managed to compile the highest grade point average. Not only had Pat been a superior worker in the academic areas but he also was a tireless worker on projects initiated by the student council. As its president. Pat worked for many long hours outside of school to make sure that everything went according to plan. Pat had plans to put all of his talents to work as he hoped to begin studies for the priesthood after graduation. The selection of the Salutatorian was much more difficult. There were three students whose grade point averages were so close fwithin thousandths of a pointj to each other that it was felt that the only fair thing to do was to make all three co-salutatorians. On behalf of the Adams student body and staff, congratulations to these four super seniors. Yflffq. M Ygrrirl

.4-me "looks like we made it" The class of '78 has finally made it! During their time at Adams they went through millage defeats. which cut out spring sports in l976. They have seen the opening of the pool, and the beginning of the smoking area for the use of the students. The class of '78 experienced many administrative changes in their three year stay at A.l-l.S. as well. They also had to make the adjustment to a disciplined attendance policy this year. The Seniors were involved in many activities. Whether they were trying to raise money for graduation by selling MSM's or sponsoring dances, the '78ers always seemed to put their heart into it. Led by class sponsor. Mrs. Talley, and the competent class officers, President Rod Poffenberger. Vice President Lisa Marcoff. Secretary Lynn l-luzzard, and Treasurer Liz Birley. the Senior class showed much spirit and enthusiasm. The Seniors actively participated during Homecoming, where they took first place for their float. Being the largest class ever to graduate from Adams. with over 500 Seniors, they excelled both academically and athletically. Two Seniors placed in the top H0 in the state in the Michigan Math Prize competition. Both the Varsity Swim teams and the Varsity Wrestling team finished well in the league. Seventy students had a chance to take advantage of a Senior trip to the Bahamas where all thoughts of schoolwork melted in the heat of the noonday sun. ' Although the Seniors left the hallowed- halls of Adams behind, they took with them memories of good times and friends. The class of '78 went out into the world. each in their own direction, and faced whatever the future had in store. my ,yi -gf lt- xj X , L. to Fi.: L. Birley, R. Poffenberger, L. Marcofl. L. Huzzard
