John Adams High School - Album Yearbook (South Bend, IN)

Page 6 text:

Facing New Frontiers As the sun rises on the 1980-81 school year, each student prepares to face the challenges of the future. From freshmen to seniors, new frontiers await conquering, new trails await exploring. The challenges that loom ahead range from seniors getting ready for college, to the responsibilities of just being one year older and moving on at John Adams. Along with the responsibihties come the rewards: a driver ' s Ucense, a spot on a var- sitv team, a high school diploma. iBut after that 3:00 bell, the fun begins and the books are left lonely, collecting dust until discovered Sunday night. Par- ties, concerts, pizza, Putt-Putt, or just wasting away at the mall talking to a friend becomes the order of the weekend. This is the way our weekends drain away, leaving us less than cheery when our Mon- day morning alarms signal the beginning of five days within the friendly confines of TAHS. We can stiU look forward to our favorite classes, roaming the hallways, or just beating the bell to class. Stuffing oalloons in a classmate ' s shirt. bobbing for apples at midcourt, drinking Coke out of a baby bottle, and always answering we are! to Mr. Przybysz ' s Who ' s gonna win tonight? are ways a good pep assembly delays second hour. Yet we can all look back with pride at the progress we have made the last year; the mountains we climbed, the deserts we crossed, and the tracks we left behind us. And all of us leaving John Adams can be proud of having made it a better place for those who still have new trails to blaze. ABOVE: Tracy Forrester and Jason Bowls enjoy the dance.
