To the Class of 1981 | A formula for success may be found in this poem by Douglas MacArthur: Wanted: boys who'll bide their time, And wait the hills of life to climb, Boys out of school who do not seek A grown man’s wages in a week, And will not sell the future years ; For some small gain which now appears; | Bright, eager boys who want to learn And work for more than what they earn. Boys wanted of a rugged stock Who will daily watch the clock; Ambitious boys, alert to see, Wherever useful they can be; Boys who are not inclined to shirk But put their hearts into their work And go to tasks which must be done As though it were their greatest fun. Boys wanted - not the flabby kind } That seek some easy post to find Not careless boys who think the boss Is rich enough to suffer loss But boys who think and work and train For that promotion they may gain And for that job should prepare - Such boys are wanted everywhere. Never give in to anything large or petty - never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Good luck to you all. Coach David R. McKay PHYSICAL EDUCATION It has been a very enjoyable year working with the Class of 81. | have learned many things from you; I hope you have learned something from me. Remember; not all things you have learned or absorbed this year will make any sense, but, somewhere in your life they will come into play. I will always remember your class as the class that thought before it acted. Good luck, Coach Joseph Gibbons 10

DRAFTING This year there were four seniors and two juniors in the shop. The main objective of the course is to prepare its students with enough background experience to give them a head-start in the field of drafting. One of the juniors, Fran Franks, entered the 1981 Model Building Competition which is sponsored by the General Builders and Contractors Association. After hours of time and effort and with the expert advice of the instructor, Mr. Homer Wightman, Fran’s model received and Honorable Mention Award worth twenty-five dollars. This year’s draftsmen kept busy by drawing up residential plans, training aids, athletic and academic awards, and personal project blueprints for the students in other shops, as they continually sharpened their drafting skills.
