There are numerous events that occurred during the past school year that may be forgotten if they were not recorded in this book. We hope that there are few mistakes and that each event was recorded in such a manner that everyone is satisfied. It takes a great deal of time and hard work to prepare a nice annual, and we hope that this year s annual is as nice as possible. 1 would like to thank a few people for putting in extra time in helping me. These people were there to help finish other people’s pages, do extra pages, take pictures, and even sell ads when they didn’t have to. So thanks for all the help and support, Kari, SueEllen, Camille, and Dorie-you’re great to work with!

Clark lived with the heart for a number of weeks but unfortunately died the death of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev left a number of questions, if not riddles, for the world to answer.

Throughout the past 12 years our school system has been working to pre- pare you for the future. The future is in your hands, so strive to achieve and make the best of each day. When I examine the members of this class, I see a group that has shown a great deal of leadership and responsibility. Each member of this class has shown his or her special talents through- out the past four years. Whether they participated in Sports, Speech, Science Club, FFA, FHA, or Music, they strived to achieve all that they could. Throughout their years of school in Big Sandy, the members of the class of ’83 have built a strong foundation to build their futures upon. Again I extend my congratulations to the graduating students of 1983.

Autographs Autographs Autographs Vttgh Schoo 4nd FacuW Principal’s Message “Please Mr. B Please” Once again we are approaching the conclusion of another school year. Each year when a class graduates from high school, another embarks on its four-year journey Obviously this process has been going on for years and years in schools every- where. What then serves to remind others of those who have moved on? We are probably all familiar with the example of a man’s presence on earth being compared to that of a man’s placing his hand in a bucket of water. When the man removes his hand, the bucket of water has not really changed — signi- fying that none of us is really that essential and that the world will continue to exist without us. If that is the case, then perhaps we should strive harder to leave behind us something that will be remembered, something that will serve as a record of our existence. In your high school years here in Big Sandy, you students can leave behind a positive record of your existence. This record does not necessarily mean accomplishments such as district, divi- sional, and state championships, or the various honors that so many of you are able to achieve. This record can also be the memories that your fellow students and former teachers will call to mind in thinking of their experiences with you. You see, how you deal with other people is a record that will follow you throughout life This annual serves as a record of some of those memories that you will wish to recall years from now. I congratulate this year’s annual staff for their efforts in producing this memory for you. James Barsatti Hey Kids “Leave Us Roy Lackner teaches commercial subjects, such as Typing.

These comments run the gamut of why learn that two and two are four to writing a sophisticated research paper. From practicing on an instrument outside of class, to lifting weights in preparation for some athletic endeavor. From regular school attendance to ac cepting responsibility for their own actions. Research and history has shown that these exper- iences, both positive and negative, are invaluable in the preparation for life and one of the responsi- bilities of educators is to instill in students this philosophy. We in the Big Sandy Public Schools who are directly responsible for the education of the youth of the community have q made a real concerted effort to provide the experiences which will allow each individual student to develop fully according to q his her potential and ability and for the most part, students have accepted the program. Please keep in mind that we have concern 1 for your ultimate welfare and please ‘don’t stop believing’. 0 Congratulations to the Class of 1983. May each of you succeed and have a fulfilling life. ® Boyd Romine C 1 e r k “We’ve Got The Power” School Board Lindy Halverson Merle Olson A r land Gasvoda Marilyn Lund Chairman Alan Larson A Hazel Genereux Shirley Kulbeck When it comes to keeping our schools clean and tidy, our custodians RoseMary Witschen (It), Bernard Witschen (bottom It), and Grade school custodian Jim Stave (below) are dedi cated to the cause.
