As the school year be- gan, we all looked forward to seeing our friends we hadn’t seen all summer. Many had jobs, went on vacations, or just did nothing! Then as we looked around us, there were so many journeys that we’d already made. For ex- ample, we traveled to ACD Days, where many of us did our share around the school grounds. Athletes and non-ath- letes worked in the concession stands, parked cars, guided traf- fic, and had lots of fun as they met new people from many dif- ferent places. Our journey took us on to the county fair, as we all got CRAZY with our friends-going to watch two classmates in the Miss De- Kalb County Fair Queen contest or watching others display their prize agricultural projects. As our journey continued, our great cross country team ffin- ished its season by placing third at the state meet. We had quite an exciting year. On December 8, John Lennon of the famous Beatles, was fatal- ly shot by Mike Chapman in New York City. But we’ll always have his songs to remember him by. On January 20, 1981, while Ronald Reagan was being inau- gurated, the 52 American Hos- tages were being released. They had been held in captivity for 444 days in Iran. Our symbol for those 52 Americans while they were in Iran was the yellow rib- bon tied around the old oak tree. Many Americans showed their concern by doing this. As we continue our separate journeys through life, we can look back to the many exper- iences we’ve shared on our “Journey through ’81.” Using his great strength, Tom : Bush carries bags of ice to replen- ish the sno-cone supply for ACD concessions. The world was saddened by the sudden death of John Lennon and various reminders such as this poster became very popular with his mourning fans.

School sometimes seemed to go so slow that we would fill our days and evenings with activities that would keep the boredom away. But we soon found our- selves so busy that by the end of the year we wondered where all of the time went. Looking back, was it all worth it? How about the nights without supper because there was Briga- diers after school and play prac- tice after Brigadiers-or going home to strangers because our parents have forgotten what we looked like. We knew that we had really been busy when we forgot what TV was or what it was like to get eight hours of sleep. Yes, it was all worth it-even not eating lunch so we would have money for the fair. It was all just a small part of our jour- ney through our high school years that we will always re- member. Expressing their innermost feelings, Noel Outland and Kathy Dunn portray their parts in the play ‘‘Dracula.” The junior booth was only one of many stops to make when walking around the courthouse square at fair time. 4 Student Life Division
