It seems like only yesterday that the year began. Throughout the year we have made new friends, greet- ed old friends, and had some good times and some bad. Now that school is coming to a close, we think back upon the year — the classes, the basketball and baseball games, the parties, the jammed lockers, the noisy hallways. These are only a few of the things that will always be etched in our memories. For the graduating class of 1981, we hope THE WILDCAT will always bring back these memories that hold a spe- cial place in your hearts. In your own special ways, you have grown into responsible young adults. The good and bad, the rewards and the frustrations experienced by each, we hope will be a reminder of the years spent at the Menifee County High School. , £ tcp-u CdLljr'V 116 , i o Ju Lu. r .v C Cll 'U 0 Vs u x a rjrjwrzf) j • s ') - - ,Y ia . 0 K -...J ’� ' 1.W 'igf ‘ o 'ltv , v o'- k w - K. - • y Cf ( v w M-di CM yyjnr N '7 .V uss V . fgc , 'V Jj- %•5 i Sc wA ? ■ X j H «,, y r ' y •2 L,‘(l .V i y v.'’ yyl r r.Jl r jlr j.i..-c• wi vfi . r F , ! « ?
