Events Of Zhe New Decade The 1980-81 school year was marked by many changes and events, both national and local. From a presidential election to the construction of new dressing rooms, the students had a year filled with memo- ries. As Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as the 40th President of the United States on January 20, 1981, the American people were also celebrating yet another great event in history. The American hostages held in Iran for 444 days were released minutes before President Carter was to leave office. The entire nation came to- gether in support of their fellow Ameri- cans with an outpouring of love and re- spect.

assemblies 7 Assemblies Break Routine Everyone felt the routine blues once in a while at L.H.S., in spite of the faster pace of the day. The students were very fortunate, however, to have as- semblies which relieved the monotony of the day. Besides being a source of en- tertainment, assemblies were a way of raising money for clubs and organizations, of giving the students school spirit for the athletic teams, and a way of meeting with the entire student body by the Principal. The most exciting assembly was the annual Beta Club vs. Teachers basketball game. Year after year everyone has been anxious to see the Beta All-Stars and the Teacher No-Stars battle it out. Even Dr. D, one of the oldest veterans on the team, made a star performance. Of course the assembly which brings students together one last time and honors the graduating seniors was the most memorable of all. The senior class history and class wills were read and awards were giv- en to the outstanding graduat- ing students. SNAKE SHOW. Alan McGuire.

m events 9 CASHING IN. Shayne Burks cashes in Jay Forsythe after the Tennessee A Sk Tennessee and Alabama have been the greatest rivals for years in college football, and for sports events, their contest was again a huge excitement for Loretto stu- dents. Around the halls of L.H.S., everyone seemed to support one or the other team. Loyal Tennessee fans bet against the odds year after year with Alabama always stay- ing on top. The trend carried on through 1980 with Alabama winning 27-0. Many times events were not pleasant, but brought out courage and strength and gave an appreciation to people. A person very dear to the students and faculty was given a splendid show of love and support when she was injured in a car accident. Ms. Sandy McCullough missed most of the 1980-81 school year, while her students and faculty continue to wish her a fast recovery.
