It is not even the beginning of the end, But perhaps, it is the end of the beginning. CLASS SONG We've Only Just Begun to live, white lace and promises-A kiss for luck and we're on our way. Before the rising sun we fly, So many roads to choose—We start out walking and learn to run—And yes, we've just begun. Sharing horizons that are new to us. Watching the signs along the way, Talking it over just the two of us, Working together day to day—together. And when the evening comes we smile—So much of life ahead—We'll find a place where there's room to grow, And yes, We've Just Begun. dedicated to the seniors of ’79 before the rising sun ... we start out walking and learn to run ... and, yes, we’ve just begun so many roads to choose ... reveille and bearcat Cindy Jenkins Bearcat Staff Writer Kerry Guilliams and Sherry Ferguson Bearcat Sports and Layout Editors. staffs Staff members clockwise from top: Debbie Woodruff, Lisa O'Donnell, Kerry Guilliams, John Nelson, Keith Tate, Mike Gaines, Shannon McGowan, Chris Lemons, Gina Worley, Sherry Ferguson.
