‘P i 7 GOLD We started out with a simple idea after viewing the Bronze 1984 Olympics. It took a little while but we decid- ed we could develop a few ideas with it. Eventually, we realized it was a mediocre theme with OK potential. We experimented with it and only came up with a few reasons why we could use it. The yearbook would be your plain and average run-of-the-mill publica- tion. Soon, we thought of a better idea to support our CMlVer choice. What better theme for us than “Go For The Gold” since our own colors are black and gold. Mo one else could possibly use it as effectively except Purdue or Horace Mann, but we were not in as much competition with them to produce a decent book. We would definitely have a good yearbook. fs | i We got it! Isn’t this year our football team’s fiftieth VJOIQ anniversary? Of course. Black and gold, fiftieth anni- versary, Olympics, why not? Wait a minute. Does anyone else have a golden anniversary this year? Mo. Are their colors black and gold? Mo. Were they as enthusiastic about the Olympics as Griffith students were? Well, maybe, but two out of three isn’t bad. We will have the best yearbook yet. Don’t close until you’ve experienced the fun and excitement we’ve had in putting this one together. Let ' s get fired up! The varsity players cheer their team towards a victory over the Calumet Warriors. •2-Go For The Gold

Best years of your life. That’s what many people say about their high school years. Even if you disagree, they will remain with you as memories for your lifetime. Many years from now you will look back on high school and you will laugh at the good times and the bad times that you survived. Remember the times you cheated in Algebra or ditched school? Remember when you ran home from school to beat your parents to the poor work notices? What about the time when you dropped your lunch tray and everybody turned around and laughed at you? These are some of the things you may have experienced. Many athletes will remember the practices after school, or before school and having to get out of bed before the sun rises and swimming until you feel like your arms will fall off. Some endure after school practices when everybody else goes home to study for that 200 point calculus test tomorrow. Surely the cheerleaders won ' t forget the icicles that formed on their legs at the football games that were ten degrees below zero. But those outfits look so cute, even if their knees are knocking together. Have you ever wondered about the student who got all of those A’s? Many of us don ' t have the drive to study that hard, but; wouldn’t you just love to bring home that report card with straight A s just once? High school for some students is one big joke. Having a fun time is the main idea for most of them. Hopefully, they will learn a little along the way. But the majority of students are average.” These are the people who work a little and goof off a little but still seem to make it in the end. But most of all, you ' ll probably look back and remember your teachers, the good and the bad. These are the people who have taught you to go for your dreams, whatever they may be. These are the beginning of the many golden days of your life. Make the best of them. -4-Golden Days
