ADMINISTRATION 1982 RNA Superintendent Mr. Ben Boxum Looking Back On A New Beginning Your yearbook theme implies that at a very specific, particular time something changed in your life and from that point on things are different than before. If you could remember when you took your first step, that indeed was a new beginning of perambulation for you. You could look back on that beginning. Seniors, can look back to commencement as a point of reference in time. It makes a new beginning in their lives - a time of leaving high school days and a beginning of new responsibilities. Beginnings can be anticipated or feared, depending on their nature. In our country there is such as increased amount of anxiety among young people that the National Institute of Mental Health has made the study of adolescent stress a priority. One of the main factors ca using this stress, is the constant changes or beginnings that bombard the young people. What can be done to help? The “authoritie s” say each must be in touch with a person who gives a meaning to life, who gives a sense of fixity and who tells the person that he or she matters. Isn’t that something? That’s exactly where Christian instruction comes in. It points to God the Creator of whom scripture records—“In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth” and to Jesus Christ of whom it is written - “If any person is in Christ, that person is a new creature: old things are passed; behold all things are become new.” If you have experienced that new beginning, then you can and should indeed look back so you will have the foundation from which you can view all other new beginnings in your life.

He, whose heart 1s kind beyond all measure, Gives unto each day what He deems best, Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure, Mingling toil with peace and rest. Ev’ry day the Lord Himself is near me, With a special mercy for each hour; All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me, He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r. The protection of His child and treasure Is a charge that on Himself He laid: “As thy.days, thy strength shall be in measure,” This is the pledge to me He made. 13 Big 32!!!

However, the team was very competitive and gave their opponents a tough battle all the way. The team was led by six talented seniors; Janele Engels, Jill Groen, Marlys Groen, Lynnette Huisingh, Julie Van Beek, and Carol Wester.

When Dwayne Schol- ten broke his wrist before the season got underway, things seemed to be going downhill, and the Lyncs proceeded to lose their first four games. But after this it was all uphill. Scholten was blessed with a speedy recovery and everything started to click. The Lyncs won 14 straight league games to claim the league title. It was the school’s best league record ever. District came next. After knocking off Bellevue Christian, and squeaking by Tolt, the Lyncs met up with Kings. They lost in a thrilling game, but still qualified for state. 47 Lynden Blaine Meridian Mt. Baker Lynden Blaine Nooksack Meridian Nooksack Mt. Baker Lynden Blaine Meridian Nooksack Mt. Baker We Came - We Fought - We Conquered! After a well-fought fight and a dream come true... We Are The Champions!! But it wasn’t an easy road. The Lyncs battled the Rochester Warriors in a 9:00 a.m. game, thus beginning the state tournament. They came _ through with flying colors, stomping the Warriors 60-41. Next the Lyncs faced tournament power, Cashmere Bulldogs. They came through in a hard fought game 64- 60. This put them in the Semi-finals against Orting. The fired up team thrashed Orting 74-33 and it was on to the Championship! The rest is history! Though exhausted both mentally and physically, the fabulous Lyncs again came through in a very emotional, heart throbbing, and thrilling game, de- feating the Highland Scotties 57-54. This gave the play- ers their ultimate goal of coming home with the 1982 Class A Basketball Championship! A special congratulations to seniors, Dwayne Scholten and Craig Gunst. Dwayne received the State Tourna- ment MVP and was also chosen on the all A-B State Team. Craig also received all-state honors. The seniors on the team would like to thank all those who made this special year possible. Especially to our super coach, Mr. De Hoog. His coaching and his attitudes taught us truly what playing basketball is all about, and he was a really great guy to play for. Also to the managers and statisticians who put their sometimes unnoticed efforts in too.

Officers Students of LCHS, We, the Student Council, feel a great satisfaction when we take an overview of the year. We represented you to the best of our ability and would like to express thanks to you for your sup- port throughout our many activities. It’s been a super year for LC. Both the Boys and Girls went to state in Basketball. We must thank God for the talents He gave us and the oppor- tunity to witness for Him. We have enjoyed representing a great student body this year, a year that will never be forgotten. May God’s bless- ing be with you in the years to come. Jim Meyer, A.S.B.

I thought every issue was a Classy production, and I would like to thank Mr. Ypma, Brent, Sandy, Margreta, Mike, Carrie, Mark, Char- mae, Brenda, Patty, and both Harvey’s for that fact, be- cause my name was under the “editor”’ position. Putting out the HiLite is not only getting the paper togeth- er; it’s also an actual class (“journalism” in the first year and “news production” in the second), and the purpose of being in any class is to learn. Because of the teamwork, open thinking, responsibility, and discretion involved in put- ting out a periodical with quite a bit of exposure, you can learn things in the HiLite classes which you can’t learn in any others. We “discussed” alot of topics in class, and the most important thing I personally learned was that every- body’s opinion 1s equally important, no matter how strange it might seem to others. I also learned alot about how people can use their unique talents and differences to work toward a common goal. Being on the HiLite is lots of fun. The classes are informal, and there’s alot of opportunity for travel (around the hall- ways and sometimes to exciting downtwon Lynden!) There are occasional staff outings, each one an enriching exper- ience. I had a thoroughly good time working on the HiLite, and I’m going to miss everyone involved. Thanks again to the staff and Mr. Ypma for all the learning, and to everyone else for being the news. Dean Visser HiLite Editor IDO Te ee et ies hs Dean Visser Ads Manager .....

Vander Zouwen Looking back on all our Memories, Our laughter and our tears, The growing and the planning That we’ve done throughout the years, It’s plain to see God’s hand was.there Leading us down the road And as we face the future now, Oh yes, we know we can be bold. Patricia Ann Vos Larrin Del Weidenaar Well, the future lies before us now, With unknown trials we must bear. Sometimes it makes us so afraid. Somehow it doesn’t quite seein fair, But we wouldn’t want forever To be wrapped up in yesterdays With the coming of tomorrows, We'll learn and grow in different wa VS. Oh, will you please try to remember, God has planned our every day, He was with us on the road before, And He’s with us now to stay. But no one said that'd make it easy, Today for us to say good-bye. I know we'll always have our memories- Oh, please don’t ever let them die! And we wish you the very best, now As you set out on your own. Our paths may never meet again But we'll never be alone. Because the Father up in heaven Holds our hand along the way. He will always stay beside us, And lead and guide through every day.

The — story portrayed a parentless family of four. Many humorous sitations occurred as the oldest brother, Jeff Adams, tried to raise his younger brother and sisters.

After hitting Pizza and Pipes for pizza, we were on our way to the Kingdome to see a Seattle Sounders game. After a long, fun day together as the class of 1982, we were homeward bound! We would like to say “thank you” to Mr. Van Hulzen and Mr. Vander Haak. We know it took time and organization to put everything togeth- er—but it was truly appreciated!

The hours that have been spent working have left a variety of memories. Alot of people are involved with the annual and I’d like to say thank-you to them all! To Mr. Hof-for being so patient and understanding, to Judy and Leo from Donnette-for helping when they’re needed, to Joyce-for taking messages and always being so willing to help—and to the staff, for giving so much of their time! I wish all the best to the graduating class of 1982, we’ve had alot of fun together and always remember, “We'll Never Be Alone.” And to the underclassmen, I hope your remaining years of high school may be full of fun and exciting experiences!
