Good seasons of 79 continue into 80 Bellmont? Where ' s that at? How many times in the past had that question been asked at athletic events, but in the last couple of years Bellmont has made a name for itself and this year was no exception. Many practices filled with hard work helped the girls ' teams claim titles this year as the volleyball team won sectional along with the basketball team who also grasped the NEIAC title. The bowling team returned from Greenfield as the state champs. This year also proved victorious for the boys as the swim team won the Lewis Cass Invitational and their fifth sectional sending seven boys to Muncie to compete in the state finals. Bellmont ' s grapplers pulled through once again and won se tional, regional, had two semi-sta champs and sent three boys t state of which two placed secon and one placed third. More important than the titli each team tucked under their bel were the experiences gained an the knowledge of each athlete th; he participated in the victories his team. Smith brothers. Stu and Phil, wait impa- tiently for the first place diver to be announced so they can receive their sec- ond and third place ribbons.

It ' s our last and it ' s almost gone Well, it finally arrived! The year we had been waiting for since kin- dergarten. The year we would receive our diplomas. The year when we were the seniors, and with the arrival of our last year came S- E-N-I-O-R-I-T-I-S. Grades tended to slip as the social life increased but we had a good excuse; it was our big year to live it up. As we counted down the days to graduation, we also realized that this would be the last time we would ever participate in some of the activities that had occupied so many hours in the past. These sen- timents soon faded though when we ate another school lunch or sat through another one of Mr. Han- son ' s government classes. Next year, this time, we will all be spread out and doing something different as we pull away from Bellmont. Some will have full time jobs, some may be married, while others will be back to cracking the books again, but this time at col- lege. Wherever we may be, when- ever we stop and look back on the year of 1980, we will remember it as the year for us to shine.
