CLASS OF 1982 PASSES EIGHTH GRADE MILESTONE

Page 23 text:

Eighth grade was a year full of excitement, tears, smiles, Joe's laugh, and the controversy between fake flowers or real for graduation. One of our main goals was to become one class — working, sharing, and helping each other. In our effort towards this goal, we have succeeded a great deal. Together we have enjoyed the sweetness of victory in the seventh versus eighth grade girls' basketball game. And we have endured the sorrow of defeat in the boys' basketball zero win record. We know we must commit ourselves to the fullest if we are to establish more pride in Big Sandy High, and to be remembered as the successful class of 82.” Top Left.

Yet we found in the midst of it all that it is reward- ing as well as fun to look into a child's eyes and bring a smile to his face and remember the years when we found pleasure in plastic rings and little cars. In our eighth grade year, we also learned many important lessons that will be with us all our lives. Some of us learned the hard way -- Mr. Hammond's paddle. And some of us learned the easy way, by looking and listening to the things around us. The most important lesson I think we learned all year was the respect for others. We are still and always will keep learning lessons that will help us in our later years. When I asked some of my classmates what they thought of eighth grade, one person said something that stuck in my mind. She said eighth grade was a year full mostly of memories. — Suedee Galle
