year of change As we look back on the year 1981 it is with memories of many changes in our lives and the effect they had on our school, community, nation and world. With us we carry the memories of being a freshman. We came in as young children slightly confused about what the future held in store for us. Each year we took a step closer to becoming a senior, full of uncertainties, yet with each step we took we became more sure and confi- dent. Soon we were seniors together not just as classmates but as friends. We came to Antelope as young children, a little frightened and unsure but we leave as young adults ready to face the world alone. To us it only happens once. But in reality it is a change that occurs every day; a change which is different yet the same. Our valley is noted for its beauty, landscape and its people. You could not find a more beautiful valley or people more friendly and caring than here. This beauty of ours is never the same it is constantly changing. The crops are rotated, land is cleared for new vegetation and once where there was nothing there is now a small oasis. The greatest change to come to our nation was the inauguration of the new president, Ronald Reagan. We have yet to see if the nation made a wise choice in putting an actor in the White House but one thing is for sure this country is in for some changes. One change maybe in how Ronald Reagan handles Foreign Affairs. With the threat of war always lingering in the air we have to be more careful for now we have the technology to destroy the world. We have seen many changes this year but there are still many to come. Some will bene- fit many and become a folly to others but like time, change must come. 3
