Sunset All the days I thought could never end are gone. All the days that seem so far away have passed. All the loves I thought — would last forever have died. So many happy moments are now happy memories. But ... I still have tomorrows filled with the hope of things to come. And although I watch the sun set now I know, It will rise again. 133 80’s.

We salute the students who have taken ad- vantage of the opportunities offered at Madison High School. Susie Sims Is the valedictorian of the 1980 Senior Class and Shari Rowe Is the salutatorlan. SUSIE SIMS IS 1980 VALEDICTORIAN ISO Citizenship — The Weiispring Of Our Strength The wellspring of our strength In America Is the dedication of Individuals to the principles of citizen- ship. Very simply citizenship Is found In being a good member of your community, helping those who need your help, trying to understand those who oppose you, doing each new day’s Job a little better than the previous day, and placing the common good before your personal profit. The seniors chosen for citizen- ship and leadership awards have caught this spirit In their everyday lives. We challenge them to make a lifetime career of citizenship and to pass on their heritage enriched and enhanced by the lives that they have lived. The most outstanding citizen of the Senior Class Is awarded the Rotary Citizenship Cup. Patricia Jack- son Is the 1980 recipient. The A.J. Hargrove Leader- ship award goes to Mickey Starling. Linda Newman was selected for the MHS Citizenship award. Mickey Starling was also chosen for the DAR award. Patricia Jackson Rotary Citizenship Cup Mickey Starling A.J.

The ISO days we have all spent together have been to some, too slow and to others, too fast. We have made a dally routine of our school lives. Being at school around 8:10 (some earlier, some later), get- ting through first period was the hardest, break at 10:00 (heaven to some), waiting through 4th period till 12:00 LUNCH, back to the ole millstone, and finally, 2:351 Then, going our own way until tomor- row. We have gone through this routine without realiz- ing that the last day of school would be sneaking up on us soon. Well, It's here now. We start thinking about the summer, getting together once again, sun- tans, vacation, and many of our favorites. The last dayI We try to find our own special way to say good-bye: “see you over the summer, ” “Til miss you,” “how about this summer?” etc. It makes you wonder. If we ever really say “Good-bye”? 2 00 Left page: I. Ashley takes a stroll around campus. 2. With the new tardy system, getting to class on time Is a hassle. 3.

The doors which were open wide from 8:10 till 2:35 are now slammed shut behind our backs. Nothing but the walls are left, to stand facing each other, and to speak among themselves of the years In which they have stood tall watching over small creatures. There it all stands, only to be terrified of being torn down. Truly, a sad dayI But we can stop this sadness which creeps Into our lives at this time of year ... It Is called “memory .
