 ... in 1980 there was a 5-4 season like this year, and in 1981 there was a State play-off team; so hopefully we can follow through. Dan Clark i Differences occur during year Picking a theme for the yearbook was one of the most important but difficult tasks that faced the journalism classes. Editors and staff members were forced to look at the current year and decide what made it unique. Like every year before, we were positive everything was absolutely the same. If we could have picked the theme at the end of the year, it would have been easier. Then students were given an assignment to list all of the things that made the year unique. At first there wasn’t anything. Then we started noticing things. We had two new teachers, Gary Grady taught speech and drama and Carol Moeller taught Spanish II, III, and IV. Noala Fritz, who had previously taught only in the P.E. Department, was also teaching biology. John Svoboda and Mildred Appleoff also had new classes. They taught, besides their high school classes, Middle School band and chorus. Journalism students also listed that both volleyball and football had winning seasons. Volleyball’s winning season was the first in 10 years and football’s the first in 6 years. “We were taught in school that history repeats itself and in 1980 there was a 5-4 season like this year, and in 1981 there was a State play-off team; so hopefully we can follow through,” explained junior Dan Clark. Another difference in the area of fashion was acid-washed jeans. Long skirts, shirts, knee-length skirts, mini skirts, jackets, and, of course, jeans were made of acid washed denim. Speaking especially about the mini skirt length, Julie Cummings, junior, commented, “A lot of the old styles are coming back but they’re more modern now.” When we started to make our list, there seemed like there was nothing different. This year was like every other year. But we started to realize there really were some differences. The more we thought about it, the more ideas we came up with the list got longer and longer as the year continued. Bob Meyer plays his trumpet as John Svoboda directs the band during a pep rally.
