There Isn’t Time There isn’t time, there isn’t time To do the things I want to do, With all the mountains to climb, And all the woods to wander through, And all the seas to sail upon, And everywhere there is to go, And all the people, every one Who lives upon the earth to know. There’s only time. there’s only time To know a few, and do a-few.

Whom are you running from Craig? I had better not choke! VOLLEYBALL 1980-81 Our team, consisting of eight seniors, two juniors and one freshman, had a successful season this year. For starters, the team tied for second in county, continued on to place second behind Langley at district and therefore, became the first Lynden girls’ team to compete on the State level. We will always remember: coming from behind to defeat Nooksack, playing for the district championship, going to state, and sitting in the hotel’s jacuzzi until our skin started to shrivel. We would like to forget: the seven hour bus trip to Kennewick, the final match against Blaine, Turf’s five- minutes of fun, and the last match for the seniors on the team. Thank you; Ms. Fenton who coached us through thick and thin, Ms. McInturff for giving advice when asked upon, Mr. Vannice, who let the team stay an extra night at state and the administration and student body who supported US. Good luck to all future volleyball players and remember, that our trip to state was the first but definitely not the last! Bottom Row (L-R): M. Trammell, manager; S. Bosman, S. Nelson, S. Garberg, L.

The Lions’ perfect record te i meant was marred by a 10-16 loss to Nooksack. LHS 42 LCHS It was a week to remember. Four Lynden players did not make it to ve s ere the work out the day before.

This year the club sold M M’s to funda trip to Vancouver, B.C., on May 21. The itinerary included a gondola ride up a fogged in Grouse Mountain, a stop at Stanley Park before traveling to Chinatown, and dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. After dinner the club went to the Capitol 6 and saw the horror movie, “Happy Birthday to Me.’ Vancouver will never forget them as they paraded on Granville Street and accidently hit parked cars with frisbees. The seniors in Torch Club would like to thank the Kiwanis Club for honoring them at their annual banquet for LCHS and LHS honor students.

VanderHaak, Treasurer; H. VanderHeide, Secretary; Double Crown The 1980-81 school year was an active one for the Lynden Chapter of FFA. The membership nearly doubled, going from 20 to 38, and it qualified for National Recognition as a ‘Plus 10” Chapter. It carried out a ‘“‘Building Our American Communities” program which brought state-wide recognition at the annual state convention. The many Chapter activities and individual accomplishments during the year qualified the Chapter for the state’s “Superior Chapter” rating. Much work went into the year. The annual Poinsettia and Easter Lily drives netted the income needed to carry out our programs. The “Building Our American Communities” program helped educate the community farmers to a problem that was creeping into the area. The annual banquet, as usual, took the hard work of all the members. Individually, Gordon Vilas and Dean VanderHaak were State Farmer Candidates. Mark Fullner won the District Proficiency Award in ‘Placement in Production Agriculture and went on to state-wide competition. Dave VanWeerdhuisen, Mark Fullner and others gave Lynden the states best tractor driving team. Dave Van Weerdhuisen also established himself as the states best FFA tractor driver. The Chapter looks forward to even a better year in 1981-82. (L-R) Top Row: D. VanWeerdhuisen, D. Bosman, M. Fullner, T. Henderson, D.J. VanWeerdhuisen, 2nd Row: D. Cowin, D. VanderHaak, T.

A 7-12 season, 5th place in the league, and Shelley Nelson‘s unanimous selection to the WCL’s first team are among our successes. Probably the biggest 1980-81 victory was the Meridian Christmas Tournament Championship. We defeated Vashon Is. by 24 and the Meridian Trojans by 3 to probably claim our first trophy.

Top; Manager This year’s Lynden Lion Varsity basketball team established many records- County, N.W. District, and State Championship with an undefeated season of 27-0. This must go down as one of the finest teams, in Lynden’s fine basketball tradition. Starting the season with non-league opponents such as AA teams - Sedro- Woolley, Ferndale, North Kitsap, and AAA Interlake, each opponent was soundly defeated by the Lions. The Whatcom County Championship was claimed by Lynden for the 16th time in 25 years. The team went through undefeated with a fine 15-0 record. In the Northwest District tournament in Mt. Vernon, after soundly defeating Bellevue Christian, Lynden Christian, and Nooksack Valley, Lynden won its 9th District Championship After a season free from injuries and sickness, the flu hit the team at a bad time- the State Tournament. In the opening game against White Salmon, Lynden pulled away for a 67 to 58 victory. Lynden and Highland- undefeated teams with identical 23-0 records met, and after a difficult game, Lynden won 75 to 66. Ridgefield met the Lions, led by their giant center, 7 foot, 275 lb., Jim Renner. Lynden’s overall strength prevailed for a 59 to 46 victory. Lynden was now a finalist. Against a determined Kings’ team, Lynden prevailed with a 53 to 51 victory 4 and Lynden had claimed its 4th State Championship! “- The team graduates many outstanding athletes.

With the loss of so many fine players through graduation, what about next year? With these excellent J.V. players and those returning from last year’s varsity, Lynden could field another fine team!

Seventeen Girls completed the season with Jan Hillestad the only senior. This team had many fine performances. They set five new school records- Monica Martin in the 100 and 300 meter hurdles, Karen Grafmyre in the 800, Deanna Olson in the shot put and Grafmyre, Martin, Jodi Tjoelker and Lisa. Gienger in the mile relay. These five girls also qualified for District with Olson and Grafmyre going on to the State meet in Wenatchee. Boys Track Back Row L-R: Coach- Mr. Golden.

Five members: Greg Stoffer, Vince Blauser, Larry Tremaine, Rick Kildall, and Carl Larson qualified for the state meet in Wenatchee. Greg, along with Darrell, had also competed at the state meet the previous year. The team finished second at the county championships and third overall in the league standings. At district the team placed third with three individual winners and several other high places. New school records were recorded by Rick Kildall-triple jump, Carl Larson-3200 meters, Greg Stoffer-300 meter hurdles, and Vince Blauser-800 meters.

After a potluck dinner, Lana DeHaan opened the program with a speech depicting the Class of ‘81. Entertainment was provided by Lori DeGroot, accompanied by Joyce Erickson, who sang ‘‘The Way We Were.” The juniors burned the senior class in their ‘‘Ten Years From Now,” and the seniors countered them with their ‘‘Wills of Testament to the Class of ‘82.’ We will never forget the senior baby pictures and their hilarious captions. (We know its hard to make them funny, Julie Vannice and Sara Garberg.) After the banquet, we all traveled out to the KOA Campground for a crowded dance. JUNIOR - SENIOR PROM On Saturday, May 9, 1981, the Junior - Senior Prom was held at the Holiday Inn from 9:00 - 12:00. This year’s theme was “‘The Best of Times,’’ a song by rock group, Styx. Music was provided by Bellevue band, Voyager. The chaperones were: Mr. and Mrs. Clark, Mr. DeValois, Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins, Ms. King, Mr. Nydam, Mr. and Mrs. Shelly, Mr. and Mrs. St. John, and Mr. and Mrs. Veleke. Prom chairperson was Chris Parkhurst who was assisted by Joyce Erickson and Mary Trammell. Decorations were the pastel colors—green, yellow, blue, pink—in hanging garland, columns, crepe paper, daisies, and balloons. Everyone had a lovely evening at the BEST PROM EVER! 112 JR.-SR.

The administration, teachers, coaches, and mostly the students have made this a memorable year. It has been a great year for me as Student Body President, playing on two championship teams and being involved with a great student body and teaching staff. I wish to thank everyone who helped me this year in all the activities for which I was responsible. With all the traditions at this great school, I am pleased we could end it all by being known as the ‘‘School of Champions.” The upcoming students will have the responsibility to start new traditions and to make their marks for themselves at the new school. We are leaving you a great heritage that will take all you have to follow, and I wish you all the luck in reaching your goals.
