Without the Darkness Would the Light Be So Brilliant? AUREUS AQUILA 1980 Junction High School 1700 College Street Junction, Texas 76849 Volume 32 Standing Proud Rain fell from the skies, and snow melted in high mountains far away. Thirsty ground drank it in until, quenched and full, it released the remainder in gushing springs. Forming two rivers, the water wound along ancient paths in the Hill Country of Texas, bringing life to barren banks. In the bend of the junction of the rivers, a small community lay sheltered. In the year of 1980, in a building standing proud in the heart of the town, a group of 243 young people gathered. In discover- ing each other, we formed our own junc- tions.

Student Life • 3 Caught in Circumstances The world events we witnessed brought to us a vivid awareness. The Iranian crisis and hold- ing of the American hostages jolted and enraged the majority of the student body. One upperclassman remarked, “Set a deadline and then go and fight for the hostages.” The Rus- sian invasion of Afghanistan triggered anxiety over the draft. Caught in circumstances we could not control, we thought and argued over topics we had ignored in earlier years. PAGE 4: TOP: Reflecting for a minute, Carl Field enjoys some hazy daydreams. BOTTOM LEFT: Spending nine months of their lives here as exchange students, Alejan- dro Del Bosque of Mexico and Juha Juntunen of Finland, bring love from the rest of the world to their classmates. BOTTOM RIGHT: The only alternative after sighting this sign is to go back to the junction and take another road! The Creature A mushroom cloud rose in the morning sky. The signal that all mankind had gone goodby. Nor bird, nor flower, nor mammal to give rebirth, For everything was gone from God's Holy Earth, And God sat up there in His kingdom so high. And slowly, slowly God began to wonder why. Why He had created the creature man. When all it. Mankind, could do was be damned. — Charles Schmidt • 4 • Student Life The hills around our little green valley dulled the threats of war and world insecurity. Our River washed the harshness away and mellowed the impact, until we could face each new problem together. Choosing the best way took day after day of laughter and reaching for the truth.

Miss Allsup scares off the witches and goblins. Student Life • 5 Laughter Carries Us We used to play hard to find the questions, then we played to avoid the answers. Laughter carried us through the days of frustration. We felt another’s torture, but sometimes we couldn’t quite reach and cure the hurt inside our friends. Failing a math course or turning our English paper in late destroyed us until someone took the time to say, ‘‘I love you. Touching made us friends in feeling.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Ready for a break, Ken Akers and Simona Field head off the dance floor and toward the punch bowl at the Homecoming Dance. 6 • Student Life Winning meant more than a higher score on the board. The trying and pain of failure had to come first. The families and teachers backing us made victory sweeter, but we won the best victory within ourselves. Each of us played a game of survival inside, battling for our goals. The campus served as the battleground for a thou- sand such fights. And Our Rivers’ cur- rents cooled our wounded hearts. PAGE 7: TOP LEFT: The last tense seconds of the football game tick away while Darla D’Spain sends the Eagles luck and Jeana Che- nault and Teresa Overstreet wait for victory. BOTTOM: The light overpowers the shadows on the campus of JHS. TtudenUjf Even though time flows on, a bridge of love between friends spans the widest gap. Emotions as varied as the currents of the river sweep between us, but love stands forever. 8 • The Bridge Over the South Llano River With Our Hearts We had a year of the individual. Performing with our hearts in time with the music. Our River, and our dreams, we abandoned parts of our- selves. We also collected pieces of each other, making time irreversi- ble. Just as the Llano Rivers joined to form Our River, we united as Junction High School. In math we learned a whole is the sum of its parts, and so it proved to be with education. PAGE 10: TOP RIGHT: The junction of the Llano Rivers forms Our River and travels on to new horizons.

We tried to hold special moments, but even with their scarcity, they dim with time. Giving up a crown and gaining one, smiling or giving laughter, and saluting our Eagle Pride fostered more memories. In the lake of recollection, some moments escaped, but they depart slowly and softly. PAGE 12: TOP RIGHT: Keeping his Tin Lizzie ready for action.

Living, hoping, crying, and dying are but one part of life. For each new day there is a new life. Mine is but one in billions; mine is a new life, mine is old. I laugh on the outside and cry out for help inside. Come near me I will back up and at the same time side; I cry for you to hold me close. I carry a glass case around me, it saves me from pain and deprives me of love. I have lived, hoped, and cried. Now I have only one part of life to go: which is to die. For years or hours I will wait. — Mona Maples PAGE 13: TOP: The blue water cascading over the dam, with Lover’s Leap looming in the background, has become an object of beauty and pleasure for the community.

Student Life .13 Each of Us, A Specialist School represented many activities for us. We retained our district title in football, while in other sports we continued to succeed also. The brightly painted rooms and cheery atti- tudes of fellow students transformed the aca- demic atmosphere. In speech and writing events, the one-act play, and band, we partici- pated and received awards. Those of us who led active lives outside of school benefited too, training for the jobs of full-fledged citi- zens. We all enjoyed lunch, the time to unwind and visit with friends we rarely saw during the day. Each of us, a specialist in doing our thing, joined to make an outstand- ing high school. PAGE 14: TOP RIGHT: Giving blood proves tiring but worthwhile for Vickie Menchaca, who stopped by the Red Cross clinic during its stop in town. BOTTOM: Johnny Hughes is living proof that Eagles do fly, as his winged feet carry him past the Wall Hawks. We reflected the changing times in out dress and conversation. The energy crunch allowed fewer of us to drive to school. Slit skirts and rolled up jeans revived the fashion looks of the '40s and '50s. Worry over a serious world situation and the threat of a recession crept into our minds. The presidential race produced jokes and debates among us, while some, old enough to vote, spent extra time evaluating the many candidates. The end of one decade and the beginning of another changed history and us. PAGE 15: TOP LEFT: Adding a little zing to her lunch, Leslie Wicker zeroes in on her sucker.

The rain will always fall, and the springs will forever feed the Llano Rivers and our valley. Though our town may change with the eroding of the river banks, once we set the course.

To class and homework each andW everyday. Although at times we must r “T as one. We Seniors grow together and have fun. The SA T and ACT we take. We hope we pass, of this make no mistake. As days go by the preparations crest. For portraits, invitations and those tests. Our graduation night is far away. We think of it and daydream every day. When it comes near, we will re oice and laugh. Still tears of joy and fear are half and half. We Seniors think that we are Number One. Because our days in school are almost done. But deep inside our hearts we feel the pain, 0f memories fading with the spring time rain. 4 Our years have passed in ctatnor and in swirl, Ar d now they 're gone, but challenges jnfurl. Seniors once we gained distinctive styles, ■ A1 d surely we will conquer our life’s trials.

The new Coke Stevenson Memorial Building added variety to the Prom. During the Halloween Carnival, industrious classmates had a car smash as well as a bingo booth.

I shall now describe each of them, to the best of my ability, but still not touching on the beauty of them Since it is fall in Junction right now, I will start with this season The leaves of the various trees are different shades of gold, brown, red. and yellow. The air outside is |ust the right temperature The air is cool and crisp, but not cold, or not cold until the sun goes down. The trees are the prettiest part of autumn. They line the Llano Rivers and give their mirror like reflections and beauty to all who pass by All of the other vegetation is turning a light brown, to hide this region’s important wildlife. The stage is now set. for the strong northerns of winter Winter in Junction changes to very cold, yet it never snows Winds continually blow over the rocky hills, and dip down to touch the city Ducks occa sionally float on the Llano, searching for tiny morsels to eat Winter usu ally lasts till about March In March, the young are born, and new plants sprout up to show off their God given beauty This is the most colorful time of the year. The peach trees are a light pink, and the white blooms of the apricot match their glory The surroundings are full of noises as the proud mothers are already teaching their young how to survive in their crowded, and ever present, dangerous world Last, but not least, summer comes. School s out. the land is hot and dusty, so the kids flock to the banks of the river to splash, run around, and play together Sum mer also brings in tourists from every state, to try their luck at one of the ' hot spots” in this county. Nature is enjoyed to its fullest; and then, as if it were yesterday, fall arrives. — Ward Broyles 30 • Juniors Joel Martinez Ollie McCullough Michael McElhaney Teresa Menchaca Vickie Menchaca Gail Nicholson Teresa Overstreet Kenneth Owens Lisa Palmer Rodney Phillips Brenda Randle Debbie Rendon The Young Survive PAGE 30: BOTTOM LEFT For his descendants.

Beats from past years were sold in addition to the new beats. A cookie booth at the Halloween Carnival added some to the account. The booth was built to resemble a page out of a Mother Goose nursery rhyme and was stuffed with every type of pastry imaginable. After seeing millions of pecans just lying around, money-hungry sophomores sent out an expedition of energetic classmates to retrieve several pounds for selling purposes. With this accumulation, the Class of '82 has not arrived, but is progressing toward the day of their Junior-Senior Prom. PAGE 34: TOP: With mistletoe in hand.

Activities started with a ghost-picture booth at the Halloween Carnival and selling Homecoming corsages and Christmas wrapping paper. Helping freshmen with their projects were Mr. Chandler, Mrs. Stockton, Mrs. Berry-Walker, and Mr. Williams. Couplets composed by English I stu- dents included: Friendship is like a blooming rose.

Most felt the major difference between junior high and high school was the added responsibility. ‘‘You feel bigger in high school. In junior high all of the littler kids are running around playing games. But in high school you just feel grown up.” Freshmen privileges were a subject of much controversy. ‘‘They don’t have to be last to assemblies all the time!” Some thought freshmen did not get enough privileges, while others felt they shouldn’t have special privileges so the ones they will get as seniors will seem more special.” PAGE 42: BOTTOM LEFT: Caught behind a fence during lunchtime, Daryl Skinner ponders his escape route.

And when I think about the 1980 Olympic Games or maybe the Iranian Crisis, all of these things are important to me.” Quatrains formulated by freshmen English students included: Summer is a happy time Free from all of your troubles. But then when school begins again Then your troubles double.” — Scott Grambort There was a young man from Menard, Who tried and tried very hard. He came here to Junction, But his team had no function. — Pascual Hernandez “Candy is sweet and tasty. In colors from pink to blue. That can be sent to a special someone.

Much free time was given to collect useful informatioriip ' teaching current internatiaoaWtappenings. Ath- letic and other school activities were heartily sup- ported by members of our school staff. Always boosting our Eagle pride even higher, our school personnel were great!

(Mrs. Loeffler served as high school secretary during Mrs. Gaston's absence.) Involvement Improves Attitudes “Operationally this has been the smooth- est, most pleasant year,” according to Prin- cipal Joe Robinson. Mr. Robinson’s ideas of a shorter day (six periods) for students and a longer lunch hour have been imple- mented this year. “Teachers and students alike would revolt if any suggestion were made to return to the ‘old’ schedule. Responding to the changes, students have demonstrated greater academic achieve- ment and mental maturity.” PAGE 46: TOP: All wet and still smiling.

Alejandro: “I like school here, too. The teachers show me interest and help me. Some students are not very friendly. I like to play all kinds of sports, especially football soccer. I enjoy going to the movies, to the rodeos, and most of all visiting my friends. I also like to lis- ten to all music. Texas is a nice place to visit, but I have my family, friends, and customs in Monterrey.” Juha: 'The school here is small enough that people can get to know each other. Your school is much easier, even I as a foreigner could do pretty well if I just wanted, but I’m a little bit lazy. I like to read a lot and during the summer I drive my motorbike. I wouldn’t mind living here, I like the people very much down here. They are so friendly and warm. I like the weather too, most of the time it gets warm enough down here.” PAGE 74: TOP: Football games are fun for Rex Williams and Juha Juntunen, even though a bit chilly.

With only six periods in a school day, students experi- enced the most enjoyable short days. Between 8:15 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., students accomplished more and concentrated more on their studies. With a 50-minute lunch break, students had plenty of time to eat and attend club meetings with fewer classroom interruptions.

Many took English IV to improve their skills for college. Most seniors enjoyed senior privilege, going to school only half a day. Industrious seniors participated all six periods. Required courses for juniors included English III and American History; many included advanced math and science courses in their schedules. Sophomores and freshmen planned their courses carefully in order to have the 63 quarter units needed for grad- uation. Available electives included Spanish I II, Typing Ml, HE I II, Ag I II, Ag Mechanics, Drama, Social Sciences, Home and Family Living, Art, Yearbook, Recordkeeping, DECA, and Jour- nalism.

The auditorium, as the audience quieted and the lights went down, waited for the five NHS members, Ken Akers, Chuck Hepburn, Simona Field, Geanan Cavaness, and Kristyl Eidson, to conduct the ceremony. They rose to light the candles of leadership, schol- arship, character, and service, those qualities which each candidate must demonstrate in addition to having a 90 or above average. After induction into these two prestigious organizations, all 24 new members, along with previ- ously elected members, repeated the pledge of honor, promising to preserve the qualities the societies inspire. As the ceremony ended, the new mem- bers, clutching certificates and wear- ing honor pins, received warm con- gratulations from families and friends. The Girls From C.H.E.E.R. Dedicated to supporting the varsity and junior varsity football teams, the Pep Squad's primary goal was to instill a sense of school spirit in the student body. Each of the twenty-six girls paid special attention to a particular varsity player, putting surprises in his locker and making per- sonal spirit signs for the hall. Spirit favors, designed by an elected committee, were pinned on students the day of a game. The group pre- pared outdoor signs for the campus, signs in the yards of the players’ homes (constructed by Mr. Chandler), and programs for pep rallies. The large, lighted Number One sign, a special spirit booster, resulted from Pep Squad brainstorming. However, the project was realized through Mr. Jimmy Chenault's cutting out the sign and Mr. Doug Overstreet's painting and lighting work. Mrs. Nita Spivey sponsored the girls, assisted by Brenda Randle. Mary Martha Johnston was squad captain; Melanie Maddux, lieutenant; Letha Haines, recorder; and Susan Andrews, sec- retary. Members unanimously agreed that the ten cheerleaders were an indispensable part of the JHS Pep Squad. 92 • Pep Squad PAGE 92: TOP RIGHT: Members of the Pep Squad: (Back Row) Mrs. Spivey, Lydia Hernandez, letha Haines, Brenda love, Vonda Haines, Teresa Williams.

After interviews, speeches on pecans, rehearsals, presenting a talent, and the wait- ing, the hour arrived to face that huge audience in the audito- rium. As the girls stepped out, Billy Ragsdale, master of cere- monies, held their confidence together. As the three out-of- town judges announced their decisions, nervous smiles broke into beautiful grins and Melody Hepburn received the crown from Kathy Thomson, the 1979 Queen, and Candy Nail and Joy Youngdoff came into the new court. Other contestants included Brenda Love, Geanan Cavaness, Simona Field, Pam Williams, Nancy Stewart, Karen Manges, Ann Alexander, Charla Crites, Deanna Carpenter, and Vickie Shaheen.

Players Relax and Remember Reminiscing about their years together on the play- ing field, varsity football players enjoyed a leisurely evening. As they watched films from their seventh- and eighth-grade years of football, the glow of pride and warmth of comradeship seeped out. After countless hours of sweaty practice, hard competition, and harsh disappointments, players relaxed in the glory of indi- vidual and team accomplishments. Tammie Bouman mused, “I thought of how the boys worked hard for many, many years, overcame defeat, and with pride and sportsmanship they made many memorable victo- ries. I thought of how lucky it was to back such a group.” Master of Ceremonies Nino Torres conducted the evening's formalities assisted by Mark Meredith (Invo- cation), Johnny Hughes (Welcome), Juan Boone and Freddy Abilez (Recognition of Guests), Chet Murr, Randy Young, and Baye Wilson (Recognition of Coaches), Ken Akers and Arnie Gonzales (Recognition of Cheerleaders and Pep Squad), Red Griffin and John Curry (Recognition of Sweetheart), Todd Bynum and Guy Beckwith (Special Courtesies), Trini Gonzales (Special Thank You), and Chuck Hepburn (Bene- diction). The guest speaker was Ron Harms head coach at Texas A l University, the NAIA National Champions. Following the banquet, all high school football players, pep squad members, cheerleaders, and their dates enjoyed dancing to music furnished by the Straw Hats.

Football Banquet • 97 £ We May Never Pass This Way Again Spending the greater part of a week wrestling with crepe paper, glitter, and tablecloths, the juniors constructed a fantasy of time: reviving the past and projecting the future. Those days and nights of feverish work didn’t pass without mishaps. Rana Kay Williamson gave the bats a merry chase out of the Coke Stevenson Memorial Center. Fortunately, Coach Hinds, sponsor, didn’t have to put Deanna Carpenter back together again after her tumble from the ladder. Ordering decorations, with a watchful eye on finances, kept Mrs. Murr in a whirl of confusing chaos. Mrs. Oliver juggled with place cards, nap- kins, and posters in final preparation for the ban- quet, while Mrs. Boone offered capable support with the scientific challenges of decorating. Stepping into the time machine at the cafeteria on Satur- day, April 12, juniors and seniors enjoyed a variety of atmos- pheres. Bringing back prehistoric time, Darla D’Spain and Mike Davis looked savage in skins, while Susan Andrews and Juha Juntunen sported togas on behalf of the Roman Empire. Looking for all the world like Scarlett and Rhett, Mary Martha Johnston and Bob Templeton represented the Old South. Amy Newbury and John Watson recreated the Roaring 20's. After a delicious meal, wills and prophecies were exchanged. Blue lights vibrated in blackness as couples wound through the time tunnel at the Stevenson Center. Leaving rain and sleet outside, students found a wonderland of the future inside. Dream drifters, stars, and lights brightened the heavens. A spiral staircase strewed with angel hair spar- kled in the midst of the swaying dancers. Straight from the year 2001, prom servers Robin Heap, Krystal Morris, Glenda Page, Linda Page, David Simon, James Carlile, Bill Johnston, and Ronnie Carpenter ceased their interplanetary travel to hand out refreshments. Slowly, guests strolled out from the prom to find swirling snow settling back to earth.

Hard Work Pays Off Early in the season the Junction Eagles were listed as 49th on the Harris Poll, with an index rat- ing of 121, with the loss of twenty seniors and only eight returning lettermen. According to Coach Spi- vey, “The year started with a lot of unproven tal- ent. The young men worked very hard in the off- season, and their hard work paid off when we started our schedule. Most important of all, the young men on the team knew they could be win- ners. PAGE 102: TOP: Playing defensively.

Indomitable Spirit The most turbulent confrontation occurred in Mason where Bobby Hurley sprinted 85 yards, boosting the final score to 21-14. Mason's defeat of Reagan County inspired our players to redouble their efforts against Eldorado. As representative 9 A Champs, the Eagles competed in Bi District play with San Saba. “A tremen dous effort was put forth by every member of the team,” according to our coaches. Key injuries during the second quarter gave San Saba the game. PAGE 106: TOP: During the Reagan County game, Bobby Hurley makes yardage while being chased by an Owl.

To me, the last two years have definitely shown that Eagle Pride is growing,” Coach Spivey. Sportswriter Jack Sloan summed up the driv- ing force of the season, “Eagle pride is much more than a slogan; it’s an indomitable spirit enclosed in good sportsmanship.

Football • t07 Always Striving “Last season our JV team did a great job as a team. We lost several key players to the varsity but this did not deter the confidence of any player. I think many players did some things they did not think they could do. We finished the sea- son with a 6-3 record and everyone was very proud of the JV’s effort and determi- nation. It was a great season. Coach Harlan Hinds’ words reflect his satisfac- tion in his players’ efforts and he further stated his confidence when he remarked, “Most of the players going from JV to Varsity football next season should be ready and properly prepared ..Sum- ming up the season Coach Hinds paid the JV a great compliment, “They never gave up and that’s the kind of team any coach in America wants.

Reviewing the entire season, searching for the single, most exciting game, one word was on all lips, Mason. Descriptions ranged from Mason was the team to beat,” to ... a game to keep our hopes alive. Joys and sorrows seemed to see saw as phrases like the greatest pleasure,” the feeling of being included and wanted, sharing the ups and downs,” the hardest thing to get the squad to agree,” “to see the defeat on the team's faces after Big Lake,” and “my own sad feelings. Lines depicting the push and pull of the constant pressure of keeping spirits high and aimed toward victory, all culminate in the phase, “It was truly an honor being out there, and I was proud to live up to that honor.” PAGE 110: TOP: Backing the team through thick and thin, Amy Newbury shares her enthusiasm at the Mason Pep Rally.

We worked hard and when it counted the most, we played our best. We had learned much from our losses, and we ended up cham- pions of the Eldorado Tournament.

Taking second in District, the girls’ team of Donna Menchaca, Simona Field, Gail Nicholson, Deanna Carpenter, and Susie Cof- fey advanced to Regional play in Proctor, placing third with Gail Nicholson taking 6th place medalist and Susie Coffey 10th. Describing the tournament, Simona Field said, “The fact that we were within six strokes of going to State makes it most distinguisha- ble.” PAGE 124: TOP RIGHT: Larger than life.

Climbing the ladder all the way to suc- cess, the boys double team. Trini Gonzales and Ward Broyles, won state. Lou Zane Gard- ner made her way to state and competed in the quarter finals. The key element of enjoyment, the players agreed, came from the competition. Varsity member Vickie Shaheen said, “Everything was fun! I guess the most fun we had was when we won our Junction tournament when it was freezing outside. It felt good to play in the cold. Another fun time was when we (the team) won about five tournaments in a row and the great expression Coach Stovall had on his face.” PAGE 126: TOP RIGHT: Finding out her backhand is more effective when she closes her eyes is Lou Zane Gardner.

Team members said, “We knew we could beat them (Wall), we just had to start hitting the ball and give our rookie players a chance to build their confidence.’’ Beating Wall three out of four games, the team captured the District 3-A crown. Fifteen team members advanced to Regional com- petition in Waco’s Conally Field on May 30 to play against Pottsboro, thus determining which te« will travel to state playoffs. Chet Murr, the winm pitcher, said, “I just look to a spot where I we the ball to go.

Holding the small town in secure and quiet arms, the junction of waters cradled its namesake. The group of young peo- ple sensed swift rapids vibrating through the world. The controversial conclusion of the Viet- nam War, the Watergate scandal, the mass sui- cide in Guyana, and the recession of 1974 charted the course of our America. The trials and triumphs of the past ten years braced us for the currents of a new decade.

BOTTOM: Andy Barboza gulps a quick drink during the tension of a district baseball game. Tb2 Closing The sheer, fresh powers of youth swept over us with waves of emotion. The loneliness of inde- pendence frightened and intrigued us. As the space of adulthood grew between us, our feelings learned to breach the distance. Nature breathed around us with beauty and peace, teaching us the joy of living in harmony with each other. PAGE 163: TOP: Framed between the friendly hills.

The boycott of the summer Olympics in Moscow, resulting from the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, stood as a symbol of our position. We learned of the aborted rescue attempt to free the hostages in Iran. Eight of our soldiers lost their lives, and our flag, along with thousands of others across the country, flew at half-mast for a week.

With hard work the class recovered from the loss. We began to feel secure again with the welcome prospect of summer stretched before us.

Our parents and teachers launched us at the junction. Our varied inter- ests pulled us into eddies of effort. Develop- ing the skills to earn a living occupied hours of concentration. We trained physically and triumphed because of our discipline and desire. We had to follow the undertow, but for a time the dam of Junction held us.

It had barely arrived in time to convey its message from the class of 1980 to those filling the sta- dium bleachers. The sun broke through the clouds to shine on the seniors as they watched twelve years of school life end. Bells rang in empty halls and doors clanged on hollow lockers, the thin haze from the eruption of Mount Saint Helens in Washing- ton hovered over the eighth grade graduation ceremony at the auditorium. Teachers packed boxes of belongings and threw away old papers. While Our River wound on, the school buildings rested until the young peo- ple returned in the fall.

To our parents, teachers, and friends: Over the past twelve years Kimble County taxpayers have invested about ten million dollars in our school The graduat ing senior class of 1980 represents some of the dividends returned to the ••stockholders. Do we look like a very good investment? In four or five years the taxpayers’ money will begin to pay off. By that time many of us will be working and making our own contributions to our society. If performance in high school is any indication of how well our class will do in future years, then we can all anticipate success The seniors of 1980 roared through Junction High School this year like a freight train. We reached a level of success that few classes have matched Seniors helped Junction teams win district champi onships in football, boys' and girls’ track, baseball, one act play, and literary competition. The girls’ track team and the literary team also won regional In the process, members of our class helped bring home sixty-four trophies As seniors we have set the tone for the new decade With high school behind us, we now go our separate ways. We will try to pursue our dreams in the world. Some of us will continue our educations, studying to become doctors, nurses, scientists, veterinarians, or engineers Others will go to trade school, and a few will enter the military. We will look for the work that we can do best. In a few years we can look back on our high school days with memories of attending school related activities, dragging main, swimming, and partying with our friends We should feel lucky that we have had the opportunity to grow up and go to school in a small, friendly Texas town Now we want to say thank you and express our appreciation to everyone who has helped us through school The biggest thanks go out to our parents for patiently tolerating us and for encouraging us to succeed We extend gratitude to our teach ers and coaches for supporting our efforts in school and for preparing us for graduation Finally we thank our friends for always being around to comfort us and to share a laugh or a joke. Tonight, the Senior Class of 1980 leaves high school to take on the responsibilities of the real world Now does our class look like a good investment? You bet it does! Thank you. — Ken Akers, Valedictorian 170 • Closing Ken Akers HIGH RANKING SENIORS 4.00 Laume Holekamp 3.50 Simona Field 392 Letha Haines 346 Chuck Hepburn 3.75 Mark Meredith 3.44 Geanan Cavaness 3.72 Karl Berry Machete Russell 3.40 Kristyl Eidson 3.59 3.36 PAGE 171: TOP: Lesa Stapp guiltily dons her gown before the ceremony as Randy Young, Curtus Crites, and John Curry crack a few more jokes.

It was in this address that we were told not to look back on our past, but for ward into our future. But, before we leave our secure and safe world of child hood, let me take you, our parents, friends, neighbors, and relatives back for our last look together at the beginning of our quest for knowledge and adventure. Twelve years ago, we found ourselves in lines outside the primary building wait mg to enter the room that would serve as the foundation for the stepping stones on the road to adulthood. Crayons, big pen cils, and Big Chief tablets in hand, we were set to conquer the problems of the world, starting with 1 + 1 and somehow coming out with 2. It wasn’t long before we outgrew the primary building and were ready for the bigger and better things that awaited us in junior high. As fourth graders we assumed the role of the future athletes of JHS as we expe rienced for the first time a class known as PE. PE taught us many things such as competition, quick showers, and the ancient art of sharing deodorant. As sev enth graders we found ourselves expert encing potato chip fights on the out-of- town bus trips. Finally as eighth graders we thought we had conquered the throne, only to have our hopes crushed as once again we served at the base of the totem pole when we were moved into the high school building. As freshmen we found ourselves roll- ing around on the floor shooting at imag mary airplanes while a power-stricken senior watched on. As sophomores, we learned to sell beats and got our first real taste of Mr Robinson's morning announcements at 9:00 a.m., which offered the full variety of news, weather, and sports. With the end drawing near, we found ourselves as juniors, selling any and everything that wasn’t tied down in order to raise money for our first jun ior senior prom. So here we are, the Senior Class of 1980 Our battle scars have all healed It’s funny, in first grade some of us cried because we had to go to school and now some of us cry because we have to leave. But we are ready to face the world, we’ve been taught survival and competition. We were part of a school and a town that changed and grew as we did. Now every one knows where Junction is and who wears the District 9 A crown. Before we leave, we offer this thought and challenge to you, our parents, friends, relatives, and neighbors and underclassmen. Most people are mir rors, reflecting the moods and emotions of the times, few are windows bringing light to bear on the dark corners where troubles fester. The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into win- dows.’ We now say farewell and thank you to Junction High.
