But before the parade passed by and the blare of the bugle faded in- to the melancholy tune of Taps , there were memories to be made, knowledge to be gained, relation- ships to be formed and ex- periences to be encountered. Seniors would always remember the unforgettable Honorable Discharge-Graduation. Juniors would not forget the Active Duty of preparing for their last year of high school. Sophomores would remember planning strategies in their SS IV headquarters, while Freshmen realized the new oppor- tunities and responsibilities of be- ing in high school. Eighth graders found time for a little R R as they had adjusted to Lake Braddock, and seventh graders made their presence known in the Roll Call of 4058. Though the droning of the buzzer, the mechanical elegy of the passing year, was short-lived, dying in but five seconds, the memories of the friendships and experiences of 1981 would live forever! Members of the Marching Band perform during the Homecoming halftime show.

The Grand Finale! Time marched along as the year passed by with flying colors, much like a military parade. The pomp and pageantry of a spirited infantry division kept in step by over two hundred VIP’S remained at a feverish pitch as we were proud to be together, to be Bruins! This pride manifested itself in early February with the institution of Bruin Spirit Week. An echo of 4058 Bruins marching side by side with tactical precision was heard as we progressed through winter and in- to spring. Those who marched to the beat of a different drummer were not chastised or forced to face the music, but rather ac- cepted for their individuality. Spring brought with it draft registration for 18 year old male Seniors and course registration for the following year for underclassmen. An increased practice of going AWOL resulted from the incurable diseases of Senior Slump and Spring Fever which reached epidemic propor- tions with the advancing days. Ris- ing temperatures and extended periods of daylight served as symptoms for the passing year plagued with brevity. Executing a human pyramid, the Varsity cheerleaders work to support our Girl's Basketball teams. At the closing of his first period class. Mike 366 Taps Howdy partner! Senior Jeannie Steele creates the Urban Cowboy i for an art display in the gallery.

The Lair, 1981 edition, had a cover of 160 point binders board covered with brown Fabrikoid material with Cordova grain and silkscreened in ivory. The book was printed on Taylor 80 enamel made by the West Virginia Paper Company. Col- ored pictures were separated by computerized laser scanner and printed on Miller four-color presses. Typography and pagina- tion of Helios body type in 6, 8, 10, and 12 point type was done by staff members on the Com- pugraphic MDT (Mrs. Dent’s Toy) 350 computer. All headlines and graphics were set by the staff. Contributing photographers were Mike Cottle, Ken Frager, Walter Galindo, Becky Heavner, Karen Levin, Ann Longmore, Bill Mason, Mark Maxwell, Cheryl Oslund, Stewart Pattison, Dale Rye, Don Seemuller, Phil Sessoms, Andy Tisler, and Eric Wallgren. Junior Chuck Poreda provided a workable rendition of an artist’s sketch for the cover design. Other con- tributing artists were Doug Lantry, Becky Heavner, and Fran Wright. The staff would like to recognize Segall-Majestic for their help with class pictures, sport shots, and color pictures. We appreciate the PTO's Publications committee’s help with underclass pictures and yearbook sales. We would like to welcome Tom Scarry as Lake Brad- dock’s Taylor representative and thank him for his assistance. The staff would especially like to bid a fond farewell to Mrs. Barbara Dent as she leaves the world of late night deadlines and enters the world of late night feedings.
