The day after graduation most Seniors were enjoying their first day of relaxation without the thought of an unfinished research paper or a history map that should have been done days ago. The Meadowdale baseball team was waking up early to prepare for a great event, an event that they would never forget. While others were recuperating from the all-night Senior party, the boys' baseball team was in the process of winning the State Championship in the Kingdome on june 8, 1980. The Chiefs started toward the title by capturing the District 315 crown for the third straight year. Then it was on to the WESCO title. The team has not all graduated. Seven players have re- turned this year and are continuing their winning ways. The happenings of the 1980 graduates is like a big success story. Don Long, Bart Mackie, and john Churlin all have been drafted by major league teams. The 1980 Meadowdale baseball team worked together and played together on and off the field. The results were out- standing. . ' Boys' Baseball 143

The Graduating Class of 1981 Well, here we are, at the world's door. These three years have just flown by! Seems like just yesterday when we were sweating over our new name-Goobers. Nancy Myers, our Sophomore President, helped us to pull together and get organized. That first year we sold candy canes, we were the first Sophomore class to sell t-shirts. In our junior year, aside from being plagued by all the traditional tests, we found the time and energy to sell homecoming t-shirts, but- tons, and banners for the state baseball game. fWow! What a game! We won, of course.J Sue Crawford did a good job as president, in that sometimes trying year in which we were all searching for our own identities. And now, we are T, ,,,, ,,,. M W . 19 finishing our Senior year, that time of times that will never be forgotten. lim Mahan, our Senior Class President, not only put together some original fundraisers-from flower sales to car washes to garage sales- he inspired us to keep going even when the going got rough. We're sweating again, but now it's from the apprehension of facing unknown in horizons. None of us are sure where we go from here, but we all have dreams to follow. And as we leave each other and head our separate ways, may our hearts always be one, knowing we're the best, the Class of '81 . Nourished well, our roots are strong our branches reach outward, supple and long Searching, grasping, and ever growing, with strength and life that's warm and flowing Aware of the knowledge and constantly yearning to gain the secrets that come with learning And to feel the pain and toil of striving which turns to joy upon arriving. a - ,I ,J J' I N I f V 7-v'P. -L . 1. f - - ., n f . ,f 4, V A ' , .Aff-Kfff 1 gg Z ,uf if 7?
