The end ofthe decade has brought a year which has seen life created in a test tube, the life of realist painter Norman Rockwell end, the tragic disaster of San Diego, the lsraeli- Egyptian peace talks at Camp David and the election of a Democratic majority U.S. Congress. A year that was characterized by the phenome- non of being Born Again , a way of life that a president - Jimmy Carter, a former Watergate conspirator - Charles Colson, the very changed black power activist - Eldrich Cleaver, and many people from var- ied walks of life share. I979 ended a decade of growth, struggle, inflation, compounded by recession, world-wide conflicts and internal unrest and distrust - all problems that will be remedied by the combined efforts of the class of 1979 and society. When dew remains, it becomes evident that not only people enjoy Great Bridge, 811 opening

Student life at Great Bridge High is active, eventfull and at times surpris- ing. The graduation held in a shroud of darkness will long be remembered by students, faculty and graduates. Class picnics provided the atmos- phere many students needed for the last time they would spend with many high school friends. Prom night at the Dome and Homecoming, paint beautiful pictures in the memories of many students. Ring dances and that very special sweetheart leave memo- ries that remain forever. The His- tory of Comedy, a presentation by the Pepsico Company, allowed many students to laugh away the everyday pressures. The United Fund and food drives gathered the school in unity to serve the community. Spirit week and the pep rallies provided Great Bridge with a stiff rivalry between classes from which the Junior class walked away with the converted sparkplug . All these events lead to the end of the three year long high school ca- reer. Graduation night brings bit- tersweet joy to most as they walk through the door which leads them to new friends, places and experi- ences. English students examine local newspapers in Newspaper Writing classes. If f ,fl . f' xx., ' Z 'riff I! A ff' VII! ' .s f W ' ff , .
