The Legend Staff Brookfield Central High School 16900 W. Gebhardt Ftd. Brookfield, WI 53005 Job 305923 One day later . .. Mrs. Dorothy Coonrod 1550 N. W. Mockingbird Lane Dallas, Texas 75235 Dear Dorothy, Legend is endlessly moving into the future. It was a fraction of our lives, from the time the big CB and SS invaded yearbook camp to the time Ken muttered those magic words: You're gonna get your book in August ! Though times changed and so did the staff, nothing changed more than the Boys' Track layout or the decibel level after Eunice and the stereo were removed. The fraction of time we spent at school fell into the abyss of our two drawer Legend Office and had people wondering if there really was a yearbook in there or just the periodic screams from Dave and his band of homeroom merry men. They stuck like flies, making us wonder if we were the real staff. What would homeroom have been like without the crowds of Pseudo Staff? And speaking of pseudo, where were Connie, Lisa, Barry, Cathy, and Chris? The darkroom was busy this year, many things were developing ... Chris... Duckie and Eunice . . . Duckie and Renee . . . Marty? The Imperial Authority was put to rest, but not without the help of Tom's tank. Taking its place was the AUTHORITY, whose carefully placed propaganda was ignored by most except when the grammatically inferiors decided to rebel. Next to these messages were poem by Phillip Teek and artwork by Gordon Jaris. Chicago will never be the same and neither will the Palmer House hotel after Chris and Andy were taken to the shit house. The 20th floor icecube and fris- bee commando raids gave one the impression that the end was near. Bogey enlightened us all with his caustic words of wisdom while he wasn't col- lecting sports copy and McDonald's coupons. We also received our share of caustic comments from the janitors who religiously kicked us from our home at 5:30 by orders of Johnnie B. After a wayward search, we finally found a home in the basement of Sean's. Leslie drew her layouts without pictures, that is until she took her vacations. Andy. Sucked the bratwurst until Phillip Teek came first hour. Dick was incarcer- ated for being out so late, or was it because his parents knew of his fine art on the Harbor Bridge. He really let himself go. Jill missed Eunice more than the rest of us until she met the big AJ, Chris took pictures and Kay kept his sanity while Sean applied to colleges and did Sci. Fair. . . Endlessly performing until the book came out . . . then we all went out merry ways. . . never to be seen again . . . Ouintessentially yours, Legend '81 ii 4+ ,iv ' 7 .ag Q 246 f Sean

The years of 1980 and 1981 have proven o be quite interesting to both the casual ports observer and the fanatic alike. mong the more noteworthy items to grace hemselves upon our minds and bods are: The boycott of the Olymics in Moscow by he United States and other countries in rotest of the Soviet invasion of fghanistan. The election of pitcher Bob Gibson to the baseball hall of fame. Gibson, who pitched for ost of his career with the aint Louis Cardinals, led is team to the world eries twice, and holds the all-time Major League ERA record. The retirement of Lou Brock, one of Gibson's teammates and contemporaries, Brock, 'fwho spent many years dumbfounding opposing , catchers with his base 1 stealing skill, holds the all- Q time Major League season and career base stealing records. The World Series. Philadelphia and Kansas City battled through a fine series with a great number of outstanding high points, and when the smoke cleared, Philadelphia had emerged victorious, taking one of many outstanding seasons Seerts by various Philadelphia sports teams back to the City of Brotherly Love and Frank Rizzuto. The Green Bay Packers season. Once again the Packers played to a fantastically mediocre season. The controversey over the coaching of Bart Starr was perhaps the high point of an otherwise uneventful season. The Superbowl. The Oakland Raiders and the Philadelphia Eagles, two teams that at the start of the sixteen week season were not expected to do much, played through four quarters of tough and spectacular football. Jim Plunkett, a Raider reserve quarterback who was in for the injured Dan Pastorini, led the Raiders to victory, being named the games most valuable player. Q The remarkable season as 1 of our Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks had great skill, spirit, and depth along with sound coaching from Donny Nelson. These facts were the main factors for the Bucks great success. The free agent draft. Baseball's annual rites of spring show the great absurdity of sports contracts, as average players demand outlandish salaries. l The Lete Greats Many unfortunate deaths fell upon our school year. Among the living who passed away during the '80-81 school llvere: l Jesse Owens, the star of the 1936 Olympics who destroyed Adolf Hitler's plans of showing the world that the Germans were the Aryan race that was all powerful, died of lung cancer at the age of sixty-six. He smoked two packs of cigarettes a day. Alexi Kosygin, the premier of the Soviet Union. His death did not shake up the country too much, because the real leader of the USSR is the First Secretary of the Communist Party, who is our fine friend Mr. Brezhnev. Alfred Hitchcock, famous film director and author. Hitchcock was famous for his mystery movies such as North by Northwest, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and the famous thriller Psycho. This rotund character passed away at the tender age of eighty, after living a fine and triumphant life. Jean-Paul Sartre, famous existentialist philosopher. This man above all others was perhaps the most influential man in the post war world as far as thinking is concerned. His thoughts on the futility of existence because God is dead changed intellectual thinking for all time. Mae West, sex pot and vamp of seven decades. This woman was a real big thing way back in the twenties and thirties when she ground her hips and added little sexual innuendos into her lines as a movie star. John Lennon, former Beatle, song writer, author, and spokesman for many of the younger generation. Lennon's life was snuffed at the age of forty when a crazed gunman gunned him down thus ending an epic career as the man who he was.
