SOPHS ADDED SUNSHINE The full solar eclipse of 1979-a once-a-life happening-was rare ... like the Sophomore class of 1978-79! We, the Sophomore class, experienced many emotions during the year. This year, many new and amusing emotions were experienced by the class members. In October, the Carnival appeared to raise a large amount of enthusiasm. Working on the game (Pop Bottle Pickup) and our variety show skit seemed to be ' 'trying'' at certain times, but proved to be entertaining to the public. The people of Big Sandy also witnessed the pleasant spectacle of Brenda Kulbeck and Jeff Remick representing the class of 1981. As February's eclipse advanced toward totality, darkness swrept over the ground. Darkness, anguish, and grief were also emotions felt sometimes by all members of the class. Semester tests, the moving away of close friends (like Dixie Rnottnerus), and Mrs. Mangold's biology essays dampened our spirits. After the class recovered from their grievances, happiness and joy soon ' 'took over. ' Friday nights at the ' 'Y'' appeared to overcome the earlier griefs. Not only were Friday nights occupied for ' 'hanging out with the guys,'' they were also reserved Continued-opposite page Four of the sophomores who added sunshine to the BSHS are Jeff Remick, President; Dave Pegar, Student Council Representative; Stefan!

The members of the Class of 1982 had a rather successful year. Each person learned new and interesting things about himself and his peers. The Freshman Class entered a new type of school system, one where it was possible to choose a few of one's own subjects. Though the selection was quite limited, the idea of picking courses one must take, brought some satisfaction. The Eighty-Twoers were in many clubs and organizations. All the members participated in some kind of extra-curricular activity. The freshmen showed a clear and evident promise that they will surge forth with energetic force to fill the vacant spots left by upper classmen. This group will succeed in helping maintain the high scholastic and athletic levels of this school. As the class progressed and grew, tragic things happened. Richard Boettcher and Brenda Kinnaman both passed away. A part of each classmate died with Brenda and Richard. Our friends-Brenda and Richard-will never be forgotten. Zealously, Heidi Skaalure cheers on the girls basketball team. Jim LaBuda's algebra test did not thrill him, but he derived great pleasure from demolishing it. The ambitious and willing people, who made up the Class of 182, had a special talent to work together for one purpose. The club made two money drives this school year. The dedicated sponsor, who lead the campaigns, was Mr. Olson. In future years, Big Sandy High School will always be able to look to the Class of 1982 for leadership, as the Eighty-Twoers bring about their manifested promise.
