Decision-making was a key part of th e Job for class officers (from top) Mike Buckner, presi- dent; John Eppard, vice-president; Mary Jo Fet- tlg, secretary; and Susan Eiiis, treasurer. At the top of their class Determination is the willingness to get tilings done — that ' s what characterized this year ' s Senior Class; a deter- mination to try to do the best at what they did. This spirit of determination often resulted in achievements. Some were of a class nature, such as graduating the largest class in Blackford High School ' s history and raising the most money from magazine sales up to that time. Others were achieve- ments on an individual basis, as were Dwight Rea ' s mental attitude award and Mike Sills ' National Merit award. The class not only did much themselves but also saw much go on around them. On a national level, they wit- nessed the fiercest back-to-back winters in recent history and the election of Jimmy Carter as President. Down on th school level, the class saw their Bruin football team becom the 1974 AA state champions and the baseball team emerge as the 1977 state runner-ups. But in whatever they did, the spirit of determination pervaded. Maintaining part-time Jobs, as Dewight Rea did at A W, was a pop- ular method for sen- iors to gain needed cash. Preparation for gradu- ation was handled by Senior Class co-spon- sors Mrs. Deborah Gabbard and Mr. Jerry Shreves. M i ,

Memories . . . the most treasured possession of graduating seniors. Remembering the good times, first date, class rings, driver ' s license, the Prom, or being with your friends. And the bad times, like losing a big game, leaving your school, flunking a test, and losing a special friend and classmate John Gruver. The seniors will leave with mixed emotions — the excitement of going on to some- thing new — college, work or mar- riage — and the sadness of leaving behind the security of family and re- lationships.
