DEDICATION There are people everywhere in this vast world who do not receive the recognition that they truly deserve. The most important, and the ones that are usually taken for granted, are our parents. Parents who have shown us understanding and encour- agement. Mothers and Fathers who have support- ed us both emotionally and financially. Parents who have shown us patience and love. For all the times that we came home from school or a game, disappointed and discouraged, Dad was there to pat us on the back and maybe even tell a story about something that happened to him “a long, long, time ago . After he'd finished, even if it didn’t get us an A or a trophy, we were able to smile and say that we’d tried and that we'd try even harder next time. For all of our Moms who bandaged our little knees and held us tight on their lap when the monsters in the dark were on the prowl. She was always there when we were sick in bed or ready to bundle us up in scarves and mittens when we were going outside to go sledding. Mothers always seem to know what you wanted because the hot cocoa would be ready when you came in. She's there to lean on when you don’t make cheerleader or the first string on the basketball team and you feel as though the world’s about to end. No matter how much we grow up , she’ll always be there and she'll always consider you her “baby and maybe that’s not so bad. And when they’re older and in need of some special caring, the same kind of love and understanding that they showed us throughout our lives, may we all remember the good and the bad, all the loving and family arguments and be able to return some of the love we once received and cherished. And again, for all the parents out there, whether they are married or single, young or old. may we dedicate this book of fond memories to you. Moms. Dads. We love you!

BfING Together Each year as we design and plan the TRAIL BLAZER yearbook, we come to the problem of devising a theme. A theme that represents us a whole — a student body that works together and a staff that works with us. For the 1982 - 83 TRAIL BLAZER we chose BT: Being Together at BLOOM TRAIL. BT is Bloom Trail. BT is Being Together, in class, at games, in sports and in clubs. BT is Being Together on a team. BT is Being There, to support Bloom Trail. BT is being a part of Bloom Trail. BT is working Together on the musical or children’s show. BT is Being There to help out. BT is Being Together to plan a dance. BT is Being Together to raise money. BT is Being Together to show your Blue and Gold. BT is Being Together to show your Bloom Trail Spirit. BT represents all of us here at Bloom Trail, working together, supporting each other, and Being Together. THEME 3
