We, and Groveton of Quander Road, started high school together. The body of this school, which we have created, will always be a part of us, although soon, we will be apart from it forever. I hope those who follow our tiger paws continue to support one another as they watch each other grow together, and apart — as we have. Melissa L. Stone 4 years, it was 4 years ago that I first came here. The buildings were swarming with people. Every freshman was gloating because even the seniors were lost. So much has happened so fast. Sure there were bad times — homework in excess, pop quizzes, jammed lockers, forgotten assignments and arguments. But what about the laughs — the food fights and practical jokes, the cow imitation in French, the exploding chem lab, the lunches at Mickey D ' s, the chicken that abused your Bio notebook, the “pass from guidance . . . and the friends! It wouldn ' t have been the same without them, the people you could study with, fight with and share your worst problems with. Friends . . . I ' ve lost some, gained some, gained some and some I ' ll have for life. After 4 years at Groveton what I ' ve come away with are memories . . . and friends. — Nick Lapp 20

Following the first day is a first date, a first party, a first car, a first prom and a first week-end without the higher authority. High school is one place where one never remains in his first year. At GHS four years ago, we were all firsts at the same time, neither the seniors nor the freshmen knew where their next class would be. In anxious anticipation, we, the lowest form of underclassmen, watched others experience their first junior-senior-waterfight-day, balloons bursting in air and on people. Next came community day, a talent show and Sun-day. Shortly after followed a senior skip day and a senior prank, the hilarious joke of the year, signifying spirit and good humor. After patiently waiting in line, it ' s our turn now. We created a two-day leadership seminar to help bridge the gap between students and administrators. And it worked! R. Don Ford was the guest star in Up the Down Staircase, the drama department ' s fall production. Finally, our football team won a homecoming game, but to everyone ' s amazement, the seniors placed last in the float competition. This school year contains oodles of imagination which created the first inspirations for Crazy-day and the B.S. Moose. With headlines such as unlicensed driver swiped by parked cars and advertisements like buy a trashcan for your loved ones today! , it ' s almost impossible to listen to P.A. announcements without a chuckle or two. The Class of 1980 is Groveton ' s past, present, and future. Only yesterday, we merely observed. Today, we are participating, but tomorrow we will start all over again. Melissa L. Stone 21
