CHILL Y ON THE QUTSIDE, WARM ON THE INSIDE Homecoming evening temperatures can be best summarized as chilly on the outside, while being warm and moving on the inside. Everyone excitedly awaited the half- time activities, to learn who would be crowned Homecoming Queen. As the halftime procedure com- menced everyone could see the colorful floats, but the evening was highlighted by the crowning ceremony. Eighty's varsity football team selected four homecoming princesses: Cyndie Knight, Coni Mattice, Bobbie Reeves, and Carolyn Wallace, to honor during homecoming week. Riding atop new luxurious cars during the after- noon parade was the first exciting activity involving the girls.

GRADUA TES MIXED EMOTIONS, MARKED MEMORIES fviixed emotions marked the completion of high school by eighty one's graduating class. Most were saddened by the thought of leaving E.M.H.S. and the security it offered, but were eager to get out and face the world. With four years of exciting events and experiences behind them, the Class of 81 remembered their senior year with fondness. Seniors began the year with controversy and dilemma over the planning of the Homecoming Dance and the senior trip, with few funds available. After several class meetings, members decided upon serving a pre-game barbecue dinner, and the host- ing of the traditional dance with a non-traditional disc jockey crew. After paying expenses, profits were minimal. Spring semester marked a change in thoughts and attitudes of many seniors. Mid-term graduates and students with full of part- time jobs all began to understand what life is like after high '.s,!sa-25555: - ,I l'5::5ffi555ZI'E A school. They had the responsibility of paying many of the costs pertinent to their senior year, such as portraits, announcements, caps and gowns, college aptitude tests, and college applications. Senioritis , the classic chronic disease, left many full time seniors restless and bored. While many students took off after lunch, others saw the need for hard study, so that their last E.M.H.S. report card would be rewarding. Finals added pressure to the strain of striving for good grades, but realizing summer was just a few days away, seniors somehow managed to muster strength to carry them through the remaining week. As the formality of graduation ended with cheers, clicking cameras, flying caps, and switching tassels, seniors realized with a sense of achievement that E.M.H.S. is an important part of their lives that will be with them always. Pains, frustrations, joys, laughs, good times and bad, all suddenly became insignificant in relation to an undefined future each graduate anticipated, and would be remembered fondly as times of growth, change, and maturity.
