The Class of 1981 Our Time Has Come It IS the end and yet a new beginning. Four years ago we came as individuals into the freshnnan class. We each brought our separate ideas and expectations. As the days became weeks we made friends and joined committees that made us into groups and teams. But it took our class officers to pull our groups into a class. President — Lisa Newman, Vice- President — Karen Mellman, Secretary — Kim Clark, Treasurer — Karen Jones, Historian — Cathy Izenson, and Ser- geant-at-Arms — Rosalyn Harris thought of ways that our class could raise money. We had to plan ahead for the future — our future. In that year we had car washes and bake sales as fund raisers which pulled our classmates together. As the year progressed, we grew closer and by the time Spirit Week arrived we knew we were ready for the challenge. We rose to the occasion and won second place, an accomplishment we were proud of. As the year ended we marvelled at the changes that had come about in our class. Sophomore year. The election of class officers brought many changes. The new officers included, Denny Nolan — President, Rosalyn Harris — Vice-President, Cathy Izenson — Secretary, Lisa Newman — Treasurer, Kim Clark — Historian, and Amy Sipes — Sergeant-at-Arms. But many things remained unchanged. Once again we sponsored bake sales and car washes to raise money for the class and though we got wet we also had alot of fun as our class continued to grow together. Spirit Week arrived and we pulled together to make signs that decorated the cafeteria m the style of ' 81. The Super Sophs put on a skit Lion Man and Cub that won much recognition as once again we had won sec- ond place. To be sure we were proud of ourselves. In the Spring we decided to have a dance as a fund raiser, but it wasn ' t to be and the dance was cancelled. Through the year we had learned to pull together, while we kept our individ- uality. Our junior class officers. President David Fox, Vice-President Dorian Clark, Secretary Kim Clark, Treasurer Amy Sipes, Historian Pam Hopkins, and Sergeant-at-Arms Jeff Bush had a challenge to meet. It was our year to sponsor the Prom and we didn ' t have-enough money in our treasury. So with fund raising in mind we made a second attempt at having a dance. We called it Disco Showdown ' 79 and it was a success, not only as entertainment but in raising money as well. But, we weren ' t finished yet, as many of us volunteered our time to help Rike ' s take inventory, which also proved to be a success. As Spring approached we made plans for the Prom. The theme Lover ' s Paradise was a perfect title. We enjoyed decorating the Greek Orthodox Church to be paradise itself and music by Cliche ' made it even more so. Afterward, the afterprom was held at the West Y.M.C.A. We ' ve grown into a class over the past three years and though we have known this would be our last year together, we have looked forward to having the senior cafeteria to ourselves. Our officers this year were comprised of David Fox — President, Tim Colletti — Vice-President, Kim Sharp — Secretary, Brian White — Treasurer, and Regina Kercher — Historian. In the fall, the Homecoming When the Lights Go Down in the City saw the rise of a new King and Queen. We voted our Queen Patty Wall and King Ron Goff to the throne with Barb Bradley and Eric Holmes as attend- ants. But that wasn ' t the only dance of the year. The Senior class sponsored a Turnabout Dance titled He ' s So Shy . As it turned out, the dance was one of the biggest fund raisers in our school ' s history, an accomplishment we were proud of. And proud we are. Just as the lion is a symbol of strength and pride — so too is our class. We ' ve grown together in our separate ways — and though our time for being together is closing we know that what we have shared can never be erased. So, on this, the Twentieth Anniversary of our school, we leave. With us we take our memories of classes, dances, and friends, and hopefully a little more. Our time has come. It is the end, and yet a new beginning. Regina Kercher Senior Class Historian SENIORS 107
