2 As students bearing remnants of summer breezed in for the 1980-81 school year, they greeted it with a variety of emotions ranging from enthusiasm and determination to a wistful sense of finality for some Seniors. The first Varsity Football Team in three years coupled with optimistic administrators man- aged to start the year off with a rush of enthusi- asm which resounded throughout the entire year. The continuing tide of spirit was aided by other successful sports programs and strong community support. The bands, choirs and clubs also did their share to contribute to the year as they ran their usual courses of activities and supplied entertainment and spirit.
