FROM OURSELVES Michele Daetweiler Cathy Damron Jeanette Daniel As I look back, I reafiz pi the most important thihgpi||a; learned during my four ye high school wasn ' t sof ' that came out of a book ' o presented to me by a teach E was something that has enabilt. me to prepare for my life as an adult. It wasn ' t something that could be tested or proven or written on as the topic of a the- sis paper. It was something each and every one of us had to exper- ience on our own. It was finding out who we are, being ourselves, individuals, daring to be what we wanted to be and not what everybody else wanted us to be. How many times have we caught ourselves wishing about what could have been instead of what can be. Memories will remain for all of us, some memo- ries more vivid than others. I will always remember early morning practices for drill team, year- book deadlines, and late nights with the Oracle, but most of all, I will remember the people I call my friends, the joys and the tears we ' ve shared, the break- ups and the fears we ' ve sur- vived. These are what have made me who I am and have helped me learn the only thing I have yet to do is celebrate life!

TIME TO Isabell Dolmat Kevin Christine Mike Dougherty Dreyer Drobik How many times did my friends and I repeat the phrase I can ' t wait to be a senior! ? While we swam in P.E. as Freshmen, struggled through Health and Drivers Ed. as Sophomores, and tried to pass U.S. History as Juniors, we all looked forward to the day when we would be Seniors, taking as many kickback classes as possible, planning for college, and gaining more responsibility as well as status. Our senior year seemed so far off, yet we did finally make it! Were the four years in high school some of the best years of my life? the answer is a definite yes! Sure, there were a few bad times as well as bad report cards, but then again, will we experience spirit weeks? assemblies? slave days? dances? candy grams? bagel sales? and A.S.B. elections? We ' ve had the opportunity to spend four years ex- isting and growing together with people in the same position as ourselves. Though several challenging and difficult deci- sions now await us, we ' ve accomplished so much throughout our high school years that we ' ll make these obstacles easier to face. It ' s time to move on, store away the old memories, and to create many more. The graduating class of 1984 deserves the best of luck and success as it moves toward bigger and better things.
