THE ROAD NOT TAKEN Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth: Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim. Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost

Being a class advisor can be very demanding at times. This is especially true during the Junior and Senior years with the added responsibilities of the Prom, fund raisers, class trips, announce- ments. diplomas and graduation ceremonies. Working with high school students, although frustrating at times, provides some very enjoyable and satisfying rewards. There is a real feeling of accomplishment in viewing the just-completed prom decorations. W'atching “your” class march down the aisle to receive their diplomas causes one to experience a great sense of personal pride and achievement. I have enjoyed working with the Class of '83. I sincerely wish them luck in their pursuit of happiness and success. President: Joel Waite, Vice President; Michelle Hoo- ver. Treasurer: Amy Grissinger. Secretary; Sue Young. I regret that I have been unable to be close to you during this important time of your life — your senior year. However, I shall never forget the moments of anxiety and times of success we enjoyed togeth- er. I have seen you grow in all aspects of human endeavor. I have watched you cooperate and compete to accomplish personal and class goals. You, as individuals, and you, as a class, will continue to hold a special place in my memory forever. I wish you the perseverance necessary, the faith in God required, and the enthusiasm to be generated to continue to carve out of time a life for you and mankind. My best and my love to each of you. 14

FLYING FREE There is a place I call my own where I can stand by the sea, And look beyond the things I’ve known, and dream that I might be free. Like the bird above the trees gliding gently on the breeze, I wish that all my life I'd be without a care, and flying free! But life is not a distant sky without a cloud, without rain. And I can never hope that I can travel on without pain. Time goes swiftly on its way. All too soon we’ve lost today. I cannot wait for skies of blue or dream so long that life is through. So life’s a song that I must sing, a gift of love I must share. And when I see the joy it brings, my spirits soar through the air. Like that bird up in the sky, life has taught me how to fly. For now I know what I can be and now my heart is flying free! words and music by DON BESIG
