Which Road? Roads to our goals sometimes seem end- less, but we know if we keep striving, we will one day reach that goal and set yet another. The Class of ’80 reached what Freshmen would consider their final goal, but the seniors knew in their hearts as they re- ceived their diplomas that it was not an ending, but another beginning. They had come to a fork in their roads, and they knew a choice must be made. They want- ed to choose their highest potential. Some seniors had already enrolled in col- leges eager to learn their chosen trades, while others decided to marry and settle down. For the rest of the student population, our road was still weaving its path through the high school’s walls. The Juniors chose classes to insure their graduation in ’8l, while the underclassmen strived to reach the distant, yet close reality of being up- perclassmen. We knew the roads we chose might result in a bleak dead-end that held a stop sign or a caution light that warned us to slow down and live our lives instead of plan- ning them. But we still held the hopes that every road we found ourselves on was newly paved and held a traffic light stuck on green. Seniors 3

4 Theme Struggling for the basketball with her aggressive opponents keeps Lori Board on the right road. Scholastic Award Winners for the 79-80 school year are proud to hold their certificates of recognition. (lower right) Some of our roads begin in high school, and those roads extend to other roads. Joe Shively poses with his baritone bugle, which he learned to play at the local level. He plays the same bugle in International Competition along with Doug McComsey who plays percussion. Their musical talents take them beyond the school boundary. Roads We Chose . To Reach Our Goals Our teachers held the keys to open the gates as they taught us the essentials for every day life. The honors, competition, and class work moved u s toward the end of our present road . . . graduation. We all planned our futures, but we never forgot how to laugh and love. We lived for the past, the present, and the years to come. Roads from all time entwined, mov- ing us into whatever goal we set. We knew we must put direction into our lives if we were to carry out our expecta- 2 tions. There were obstacles and competi- tions to overcome; however, we kept the road open and made our way. We were happy, determined teenagers filling our places in the world of “education”.
