To meet expences we sold candy bars, and of course maintained the tradition of satisfying loyal fans hunger with the con- cession stand at sports events. Now we're looking forward to being Seniors so we can sit back and relax and watch the underclassmen struggle their way through their Junior year.

At the beginning of the year, they sold a lot of pizzas to raise the total in their treasury. They also sold jewelry. Of course, everyone happily ordered their class rings in October. Boy, were they glad to receive them in early spring! They ended the year by picking a place for next year's prom.

(ABRAHAM MASLOW) Ladies and Gentlemen of the Class of '78: While 12 years represents a high percentage of your lives at this moment (67%), it represents much less (16%) of your individual life expectancies. It is rea- sonable to anticipate that you may well spend 20% of your lives in some kind of formal education or on-the-job-training ... all to develop tools . I am confident that through these first years of edu- cational experiences you have developed skills and attides that will help you view and approach life not through a tunnel vision skills and attitudes are considerably more than just hammers to build your futures with ... that these skills and attitudes will aid you to develop a love of life and the ability to roll with its punches ... that in the end you will find the success you want ... and that your suc- cess will be our success. Best of luck and life to all of you. Sincerely, Larry Zitkus Superintendent Each time I am asked to prepare a message for in- clusion in the annual I seriously wonder who will read it and perhaps profit by it. The exercise itself has merit I suppose. The purpose of this collection of visual memorabil- ia is to serve as a good old days flashback for your ten or twenty years from now. Its real value is in what it says to us then - in the future - not what it says to us today. When the century turns and you enter the third mil- lenium pull this volume from the shelf and enjoy. The yearbook will serve then, not so much as a re- minder of happier and younger days but as some- what of a prognisticator of the hopes and dreams of your friends and colleagues. It will serve as a chronicle of achievement as well. The student leader will most likely be the commu- nity and church leader. The athlete will continue to demonstrate the spirit of competition and dedication to success in the grain field, or in the office as on the playing field. The scholar will be writing books not just reading them. The carpenter will be building bridges because he built birdhouses well. The wall flower may still be living in obscurity be- cause no one took time to say, I want to be your friend. The class clown- well he was forgotten the day he left. The implications are then to fill this book, in effect your life, with memmories worthy and reflective of you. Build for hat year 2000.

He showed skepticism, but we knew. We hope we have achieved our goal to make this yearbook unique and different from any other, and to cap- tivate the approval of the students who normally do not care. It seems our theme of, What a year! was very true for the staff also. With the fun and laughs along with the hard work of putting the book together, it has indeed been quite a year!

The 1977-78 staff consisted of twelve people, including their aid, Chris McNeal. Mark Way and Julie Firkins were co-editors. These 12 students worked so well together that Mrs. Worden started letting them produce the paper by themselves in February. She ex- plained that she found it hard to sit and watch while all the kids worked. One day, she wan- dered aimlessly up to one of the editors and asked, Is there anything I can do? Julie's reply was No, we're doing fine. Feeling unwanted, she walked down to the student lounge and talked to John Williams, about a photography interview; We changed the word from, Efficient to, very effi- cient.

The organization's main goal, however, was to promote scientific interest and awareness in the Kirkland Community. •Professor Byron Cann: Head of the Science De- partment of Hiawatha High School, better known to students as Mr. Cann, or Byron. 58 S STUDEMTL COeriCiQ Standing left to right: Ar- lona Lieving; Julie Firkins; Mary Dreska Seated left to right: Charlie Freeman, Jon Firkins, Brad Taylor, Bill Taylor, Mark Conro, and Karen Dreska.
