Times Journalism Class National Honor Society inductee Candlelight Ceremony — The students were accepted into the Society by a special candlelight ceremony on April 8.1981... CONT P 72 THE NEW COMMITTEE Mr. Branch has come up with a terrific idea for a new program! This program will help all of us ‘‘little people get our views across. This program is called Student Liasons Board. This board is made up of Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Branch, two teachers, two representatives from each class, the Student Council President, and the newspaper editor. One of the two representatives will be more into sports and the other is more into educa- tion. The reason for the board is so that our views can be heard. The board takes some of these views into consideration when making a decision. On April 6, 1981, a new Company. Weyerhaeuser, broke ground. This S60 million facility is scheduled to start production in 1982. It will produce an exterior grade sheathing panel to be used on roofs, sidewalls, and floors. When the plant is running at full capacity, it will employ 150 people and produce 215 million square feet of paneling per yeai WHEN THE WAR CAME HOME We stood in darkness, watching the silver coffins roll from the plane, counting to ourselves, holding our breaths. I saw in each shimmer the faces of boys who once picked things up and took them to school. I wan- ted to take their bones up into my hands, give them new flesh, once again hear their voices grow close and familiar. With my fingers I traced the line of my lips, felt my own face as though I had never known myself. When they finished, I watched my breath stream from my mouth, a white cloud rising in the cool, dark air. There, in the middle of the night, I listened, hoping for noises from the dead, the movement of a hand, the par- ting of lips, then wandered off, feeling the night pack in around me, chilled and bone-numb. © michael delp

During our last year at GHS, quite a few memorable events took place. We won the spirit cup held each year at homecoming, in basketball, the Vikings made it all the way to the district finals. Our executive staff came up with the unique idea to order T- shirts with our entire class listed on them; And we proudly announced Connie Keene as Miss Grayling 1981. To top the year off, our class had a very memorable class trip to Opryland, Mammoth Caves, and Kings Island. As the year came to its final end, look- ing back, we all agreed it had definitely been a fun four!!! Arlene Monks — Senior Editor Seniors 17
