Advisor-John 0. Jones 2 Memories, light the eorners of my mind. Misty water colored memories, of the way we were. Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind. Smiles we gave to one another, of the way we were. Can it be that it was all so simple then. Or has time rewritten every line? Jf we had the eha nee to do it all aga in, Zell me would we. Could we? Memories, may be beautiful and yet, What's too painful to remember, We simply ehoose to forget. So it’s the laughter, we will remember Whenever we remember, the wag we were: Zhe way we were!

DEB! Just as the leaves turn From green to gold There's been a change In our lives, we are told Deb was a sister T o both you and me And the memories we have Are there to always be The love in her smile The sorrow in her tears Will carry us for miles And relieve a little fear The sound of Deb's laughter Was always filled with cheer But now her laughter's gone And all we see are tears The tears that I see Have formed a silky web Around each and everyone That knew and loved Deb For Debbie's sake and In her name We must go on And try to live the same For we can never Be afraid to die Because Deb Debra Jean Larson Will be waiting for us, in the sky. ie Davison THE EPITAPH Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth A Youth, to Fortune and to Fame unknown. Fair Science frowned not on his humble birth, And Melancholy marked him for her own. Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere, Heaven did a recompense as largely send: He gave to Misery (all he had) a tear. He gained from Heaven Ctwas all he wished) a friend. No farther seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties from their dread abode, (There they alike in trembling hope repose,) The bosom of his Father and his God. Jn Memory of...

Individual place winners at state were: Bobbie Sue Vischer second place finish in Uneven Parallel Bars, Vault, Floor Exercise and All-around; Kari Gray third in the Balance Beam and Floor Exercise and fifth in All-around; Marlene Shaw third place finish in the Vault. As a team it was a most successful season in taking the second place trophy at the state meet. With three seniors, one junior, two sophomores and two freshmen on the varsity team, the season was a true joy to the coach. Many hours of practice time, and a firm commitment are needed to make a champion, and it's my feelings that this year we had a championship team and super individual efforts. Coach Pugh 1.
