SILHOUETTES. The darkened shapes of the mile relay team are formed by the sun as they received their first place medals. ange oi 'Man, there's going to be a lot of blue and gold around pointed out Darin Miller after his leg of the mile relay. The school colors were still orange and black, but the blue and cold All-State colors hacf taken over in the eyes of the boy's track team as they were proclaimed 1982 Class A Champions. First places taken by Randall Fast in the 330 intermediate hurdles; Andy Shewey in the mile run and high jump; the two mile relay team of Bill Frerichs, Kevin Helton, David Miller, and Guy Swanson; and the mile relay team of Mike Colvin, Darin Miller, Fast, and Swanson defined this as a team effort. Their 58 points doubled Chandler's 29 second-place points. Adding points to the championship were Bill Frerichs and David Miller with 2nd and 3rd in the olors 880 run, and Kevin Helton and Andy Shewey placing 4th and 5th in the two mile run. On the girl's team, Janie Edwards finished 6th in the shot put, and the sprint relay team of Sally Davis, Suanne Wymer, Dedra Meador, and Pam Brown took fifth. 'It hurts,' gasped Andy Shewey to a supportive friend while laboring off the field after winning the mile run. 'But,' he added between breaths, 'it's worth it.' It was a worthwhile experience for all the team whether competing on the field or supporting from the sidelines or nearby tent. As the season started, it ended — as swiftly as one of the state runners crossing the finish line. OFF AND RUNNING. David Miller takes the handoff from Kevin Helton in the two mile relay.

Tk ere Comes a Time Time: Fall, 1969 in a kin- dergarten classroom. The time drags by for the chil- dren during the long school day. Thirteen years later: the days fly fast and furiously as these 'kids' reach the last week of public school life. Decoration and prep- aration developed the Class Night theme, 'Os- cars' with Andy Shewey and Susan Jensen as em- cees. The night, with Mark Castleberry and Strawn Steele as two wild and crazy Czechoslova- kians and David and Darin Miller singing the pleasures of Doublemint Gum, was carefree fun. But with the closing num- ber 'So Glad We Had This Time Together' the real- ization came that the 'time together' was nearly over. Meeting early for the class trip, only to find that flood waters had moved the trip from Roman Nose State Park to the local bowling alley, was not so much a disappointment as a reminder of how things don’t always go as planned. For a few, graduation's sense of finalness was felt only on the last day, but for most, that Friday was the day when it was felt the hardest. At the break- fast a slide series of hap- penings of the senior year was preceded by card and picture exchanges and memory book signings, leaving many in tears that poured into the night's program. After practice, followed by more practice, the final march was made. The name was called, the di- §loma was given, the oard member's hand was shaken, and the tassel was turned. In an hour it was over. The week had flown by faster than any kinder- garten school day. Caps and gowns were turned in with tearful goodbyes, hugs and congratulations. SLAM DUNK.
