Classes Take On Projects Several classes held special projects during the year. The Civics class held a survey in the fall to determine how students felt about the coming election. The results predicted the landslide victory by President Reagan. The class was taught by Mrs. Gardner. The Foods class held a bake sale to raise money for a field trip. They took orders and baked all sorts of goodies to delight the taste buds. The Parenting class held a preschool for nearly 15 youngsters. Each girl took a turn devising a lesson and being in charge. They held theme parties for the holidays and took a field trip to see some day care centers. The Foods class and the Parenting class were taught by Mrs. Newlin.

In Summer The Each summer brings the fun of vacation from school, good warm weather, chances to work or play all day, and a break from the routine. As August draws to a close, everyone starts to think about the start of another school year. Students beg their parents for a new outfit or school supplies and look forward to seeing old friends once again. The new Seniors, this year the Class of ’85, starts thinking about the future beyond their high school days. The new Freshmen approach the building not quite sure of what they will experience. After the first few weeks of school everyone is ready for another summer, but there will be many long months before school will let out again. The sports of football and volleyball begin in the summer, usually even before school starts. The teachers end their season of relaxation and preparation and return to the task of facing a new schedule of classes. Students discover that the classes they hoped to take are filled up and they must see Mrs. Farris to make changes. Each class elects new officers, clubs get organized, and the Seniors start breaking in the Freshmen. It’s a time to get started again and the beginning of the greatest year of the high school career for the Seniors. The year will pass quickly: fall will come soon and the start of the cold season. Winter will bring basketball, first semester finals, ice, and snow. Then spring will arrive and another school year will be history.
