Ellblil lt ATIIICQDWE 1 5 J 5 ' 7 hmm..- . rl 1 Welcome to the 1982 Lex. As you thumb through these pages, you will be reliving all the trials and tribulations, hard times and sad times, celebrations and thrilling moments that occurred during 1982 at Marshall High School. But most of all, you will be experiencing Marshall at its fullest. Why a celebration? Because our school offered so many things that we were able to proclaim as unique, special, and worthwhile. For four years, high school plays a huge part in a student's life. Homework, teachers, and athletic events all affected our lifestyles and moods. Friendships that are built during high school may last forever, and dating becomes an all-important decision. High school is a time of growth, responsibilities, and pres- sures. One of the first steps to becoming independent is con- quering the perils of the road in order to be awarded with a driver's license. Then, for many, the satisfaction and happiness of acquiring their own car came next. Although this may have meant holding down a part time job, the reward was well worth the effort. With jobs came the freedom to buy nice clothes, date, and to save for future plans. For seniors, the time had come to truly celebrate. Through hard work and determination, the spirited class of 1982 bought themselves colored senior pictures, a true reward for making it through four years of memorable high school life. And, for the first time ever in Marshall's history, the seniors graduated in a two-color combination of caps and gowns-white for girls and blue for boys. Holding with tradition, the senior class held their commencement exercises at the Civic Auditorium, Sunday, June 6. Throughout the year, students expressed their enthusiasm by different means. A team's victory, earning an A on a Comp 6 vocabulary test, and attending the Winter Formal with a special date all brought reason to celebrate. Parties were one of the most prevalent weekend activities, often held in honor of a friend's birthday. Although to many the year may have seemed to progress slowly, in reality it passed by very quickly. For juniors and seniors in particular, this meant looking ahead at the rest of their lives. Along with its other difficult decisions, high school also required students to set future goals, many of which included college and the military. Yet this in itself was a reason to celebrate, for it was sure proof that adulthood was just around the corner. High school life in 1982 offered much more to students than it ever has before. Advances in virtually every aspect of educa- tion enabled students to take advantage of new vocational training courses, career planning sessions, and first-hand exper- ience in many aspects of the job market. On the whole, the positive aspects of the year outshone the negative, and by concentrating on the good and compromising with the bad, students made life at Marshall worth celebrating in '82, Hopefully, many years from now each person who was a part of Marshall in 1982 will look back upon their high school experience with fond memories and smiles. LEADING THE CELEBRATION are a group of rowdy Marshall fans.

sonalities alities were and school and Yet more importantly dual's possessed its own unique set teristics. Different groups around school allowed students to ex- press their own individualism. For example, a Thespian could become Macbeth, a vagabond, or a princess in a matter of seconds. Being involved in drama productions is great because I can portray different people and learn more about myself, commented Senior David Spencer. Another area known for its charismatic personalities was athletics. Teams recognized these enthusiastic peers by presenting them with most inspirational awards. Yet personalities shown through even when they weren't contained in a group. Smiles, laughing faces and close friendships were in abundance around Marshallg they sym- bolized the true meaning of a desirable personality. Spend- ing time with my friends is important because it gives me the chance to forget about school problems for awhile and have some fun, remarked Junior Matt Hill. Throughout high school, personalities tended to change and mature. For instance, many freshmen who started out apprehensive and shy could turn out to be some of the most spirited people in their class. When l was a frosh, I was really scared to get involved, but then l realized that by doing so, l made lots of new friends and got much more out of school, commented Senior Lyn Thompson. Everyone probably had aspects of their personality that they would have liked to exchange for a more flattering trait, but these were the qualities that made a person so unique. At Marshall, this uniqueness set our school apart from others. By displaying our personalities amongst our- selves and our peers, we set the mood of our school. ln 1982, Marshall's tone had many varying ingredients, includ- ing enthusiasm, togetherness and the desire to win. SAYING CHEESE with wide smiles are Seniors Mike Kuiawa and Chris Schloe. Senioritis struck early in January, leaving many members of the class of '82 with high hopes for the future. SHARING A JOKE in the foyer with friends is Senior Darren Johnson. The foyer was a popular place to gather during lunch and free time.
