To this the seniors retort V-I-C-T-O-R- Y! And usually, or always, in the case of the Class of '81, the seniors raise the most thunderous spirit for Thornwood. Surviving, as well as flourishing, Pep Assemblies con- tinue to be the favorite school tradition according to the seniors. They linger on in the memories of Kathy Gate- lis as a time to get ROWDY and let it all hang out. Since Thornwood first opened its doors ten years ago, school traditions have come, gone, and been revived. One restored tradition took place after Varsity basket- ball games. Informal dances reappeared in the cafeteria for student entertainment. A new tradition commenced through the work of Stu- dent Council to recognize T-Bird athletic squads. Stu- dents were urged to don blue and gold apparel in order to aid in the fight against student apathy. Dee Dee Caudle summed up the importance of school traditions, They are an integral part of a school's sys- tem. They're what hold the school together for so many years. Above: Pep Assemblies provide a means for arousing enthusiasm among the student body. At the traditional homecoming assembly Patti Drabick and Ruben Rucoba introduce members of the football team in an effort to increase the number of spectators at the various sporting events. 234 SENIORS 6:40 nr' an--nv' if' C as ' . , JW p.

'-Y Seniors experience triumph in many Ways Triumph! What does it mean? Celebration, victory, accomplishment, and winning are just a few synonyms used to express a Word everyone would like to exper- ience at one time or another. People define triumph in different ways. I believe triumph is being able to achieve a goal that you have been working your hardest for. Mostly it is the pride and joy you feel when you do accomplish it, commented one senior. Many students felt that when they became a senior it was a triumph for them. In their four years of high school, seniors experienced at least one triumphant mo- ment. Some students felt very successful if they made National Honor Societyg others were happy to pass just by the skin of their teeth. Most seniors felt triumph was important in a person's life. I feel if a person succeeds at something it gives them confidence, and it makes them want to go on to something else, stated Cygnet Sandy Compagnoni. Tony Maravilla felt much the same. He stated, I think triumph is important in my life. I can do anything if I put my mind to it. Senior Mary McDermott replied, When I succeed at something, it makes me feel great! I've proved to myself that I could do it. There's no other word but great. N' JEROME TAYLOR Cross Country 1 ANTHONY TERRAZAS Basketball .
