Each Friday night football became the highlight of every Reb- el’s week. The weekend brought needed relief from schoolwork. Club day and college night at Freeman played important roles in many students’ decisions. Opportu- nity was given to each Rebel to apply to the clubs of his or her choice; on college night information on particular colleges could be carefully scrutinized. Looking ahead to college, students prepared to take PSAT’s and SAT’s, realizing the importance of high scores. After football season ended, a new sports season started with basketball. While the turnout wasn’t as good as in football, many spirit- ed Rebels were present to cheer the Rebel basketball team to victory.

There were many different expres- sions on the faces of the graduating class of 1980 as they reached for the document which marked the end of their childhood. To each student the high school diploma had a different mea- ning. Junior Marshals Vicki Houck and Ann Kelly led the procession to the stadium, where the senior class pres- ident, Ann Marie Edwards, delivered her welcome. Mr. Deen Entsminger composed and directed the anthem “Tomorrow’, which was dedicated to the class of 1980. Charles Tenser and senior class vice president David Wilbourne then delivered speeches which were well received by all. An invocation and benediction were of- fered to the class, their parents, and to the other relatives by W. Emest Hogge and Rabbi Gerome Berkowitz. Although their thoughts at the time were on their plans for the evening, in the back of everyone’s mind loomed the pending responsibilities they would soon face as adults. It’s all over. Seniors exchange greetings and con- gratulations with their families and friends after the ceremony. Graduation 9
