23 Q e 1 f D32 Juniors, J ubiant, Seniors Shattered The final results had been tabulated and announced. The class of 1982 was one of the few junior classes ever to defeat the Senior Class in Field Day. Understandably, the Junior Class literally erupted from their assigned seats in a burst of excitement and jubilation over their vic- tory. Cheers of juniors . juniors and The seniors bite the dust filled the gym. The class of 1982 proved to be victorious in all main events, as they swept all of the first places from under the senior's noses. Cries of disapproval arose from the seniors as the scoring results of one after another of banner, song, cheer, costume, march, and floor show were announced. It seemed impossible that an experienced, hard working Senior Class could not win one single main judged event. Even worse, the Seniors were awarded third place in the costume event and tied for se- cond place with the Sophomores for T-Shirt design. The disappointment that the Seniors felt was exemplified by the many and varied expressions that appeared on their faces. The overwhelming reaction toward the final results of the 1980 Field -Day was a gnawing sense of injustice. QP

Wet Season Never Dampens Performance Muddy fields, rain, and cold weather could not stop the 1980 Seaholm Band from com- pleting another fantastic season. The Mar- ching Band was continually short of needed preparation time and usually lacked a field to practice upon. This, however, did not stop the band's dedicated members. Under the direc- tion of Drum Major Iay Iolliffe, Mr. Kutscher, and Mr. Franklin, the band performed at a level of professional quality. Throughout the season, the Marching Band put on a total of five halftime shows. Each performance had to follow a general theme. Some of these themes included Music Throughout the Years, the Senior Show, and a Halloween Special with the Groves Band. Many other seniors provided the extra leadership to guide the incoming sophomores. Marek Lockhart, Chris Backus, Christina Van Voorhis, Dave Posten, and Rob Schulte used their experience to accomplish this task. The entire school and the community say thank you to the 1980 one hundred and ten piece Marching Band. 737
