Finally ... Sitting in Mrs. Dorris' 6th grade classroom, we discussed the rumor that the staircase just outside the door led to a third floor. Was it possible? We'll never forget the day that one brave-hearted adventurer courageously mounted the steps, and confirmed the rumor that there was, indeed, a third floor. Soon those curious 6th graders became the scrawny 7th graders, who became the petrified, lowly freshmen, who became the cocky juniors, who then finally and remarkably became the senior class of 1982, a class with a definite flair and personality. We managed to fill the role quite adequately and carried on the tradition of senior mirth and joviality, particularly when the College Prep class, unbeknownst to the substitute teacher, ordered pizza to eat in class. The seniors again showed their originality by vetoing the traditional class trip location of the Ozarks, voting instead to spend three exciting days in Chicago.

As the year drew to a close, we realized that the time we had thought would never arrive had come and gone all too 'quickly. The days flew by, and we became closer and closer, drawn together by the sadness of leaving a place that had been part of our lives for so long and by the scariness of entering the world of adulthood. Yes, indeed, that once mysterious third floor had become so familiar, and for one short year we enjoyed reigning over not only the third floor but the entire school as well. As we tearfully tripped down the aisle, moved our tassles to the left, and incredulously grasped our diplomas with shaking fingers, we hoped that the senior class of 1982 had made its mark on Canton High School for Canton High School had certainly left its mark on each and every one of us. 18 Seniors
