If there is one word used to describe the senior class of 1980, it has to be “spirited.” It all began on the traditional senior weekend at Camp Courage. The atmosphere and activities planned helped the class come together as a whole for the first time. Not only were there moments of contemplation, but moments of ecstacy as wo triumphod once again in throwing Mr. Littleford in the lake. We even remembered to take his shoes off. Don't forget, this was only the beginning. The spirit pulled through beyond that weekend and has continued day to day. There has not been one chapel period in which a cheer from the seniors did not rise from the balcony, which leads on to another subject: privileges. During the last part of our junior year, the class decided that we wanted our privileges as soon as possible during our senior year. As a result we started working on cleaning the lunchroom, which met approval with the administration. On October 8, 1979, the class of '80 got it’s off-campus privileges, only to lose them the next week. (Major spammy.) For the week that we did have them though the halls echoed wilh Who has a car?? ' and Where should we go for lunch?” As a whole the seniors enjoyed their privileges. A favorite spot for the seniors was Mrs. Mesken's office. Between filling out test registrations and visiting college reps there was always timo to relax, eat doughnuts, and drink coffee and tea. Overall the class of 1980 had a fantastic year. It was one that many of the seniors will look back on with fond memories. Although we are looking forward to our years in college, it is still hard to leave Brack behind. Breck. we bid you woll, but also farewell. Good-bye Brack. by Julie Gates Class ol •80 j y 13
