AS MEMBERS OF THE 1981- 1982 GRADUATING SENIOR CLASS AT MIFFLIN HIGH SCHOOL, WE HAVE MADE MANY NEW FRIENDS AND SEEN MANY NEW CHANGES IN OUR SCHOOL. WHEN WE FIRST CAME TO MIFFLIN, THE BIGGEST PART OF OUR CLASS WAS SOMEWHAT SHY, BUT ANXIOUS TO LEARN AND GIVE OUR SUPPORTTO OUR SCHOOL AND GIVE IT AN OUTSTANDING REPUTATION. WE WANTED OUR NEW SCHOOL TO HAVE THE SAME OUTSTANDING REPUTATION THAT OLD MIFFLIN HAD, AND WE WERE WILLING TO WORK TO THAT END. SINCE ENTERING THE SOPHOMORE YEAR AT MIFFLIN, WE HAVE LOST SOME OLD FRIENDS, BUT SOME NEW FRIENDS HAVE ALSO BEEN MADE. OLD FRIENDS WILL NEVER BE REPLACED, BUT WE CAN ALWAYS MAKE NEW FRIENDS. THIS YEARS SENIOR CLASS BOASTS A POPULATION OF 256 MEMBERS, EACH WITH INDIVIDUAL TALENTS, QUALITIES, AND AMBITIONS. LEADERSHIP IS ONE TRAIT WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN EVIDENT. PEOPLE LIKE AMBROSE MOSES, BRETT BARKER, TONDA BAUMGARDNER, GIGI ALBERSON, RHONDA MAYO, AND TONIARAYFORDHAVE SUCCESSFULLY ENCOURAGED AND LED OUR CLASS THROUGH THE PASTTHREE YEARS. MANY OF OUR CLASSMATES HAVE DISPLAYED PROMISING TALENT IN OTHER FIELDS AS WELL. WE HAVE QUITE A FEW GOOD ATHLETES, ACTORS, ARTISTS, AND SCHOLARS. IF WE WERE ASKED TO PINPOINT OUR MOST MEMORABLE EVENT, SOME CLASSMATES MIGHT SAY THEIR FIRST DAY AT MIFFLIN, OTHERS WOULD PROBABLY PLACE THE 1979 CITY LEAGUE FOOTBALL WIN ATTHE TOP OFTHE LIST. OTHER EVENTS MIGHT INCLUDE A BASKETBALL TOURNEY GAME WHEN LIONEL MOORE SCORED AT THE BUZZER TO CLAIM THE VICTORY; GIRLS ' TRACK MEETS WITH KELLIE SIMPSON; THE 1980 PEP RALLY BEFORE THE FOOTBALL GAME WITH NORTHLAND; THE 1980 BASKETBALL DEFEAT OF BROOKHAVEN WHO HAD A RECORD OF 15-0; THE 1981 NORTHLAND FOOTBALL GAME; 1981 GREASE DAY; THE SENIOR PROM, AND, OF COURSE, GRADUATION DAY. AS WE . SENIORS PREPARE TO LEAVE MIFFLIN, MUCH LIKE WE ENTERED, WITH HOPE AND ENTHUSIASM, WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE WITH US A GOOD EDUCATION, SOME VERY MEMORABLE EVENTS, AND SOME CLOSE FRIENDSHIPS. SOME THINGS WE SHALL MISS: MANY TEACHERS, COUNSELORS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND FACULTY MEMBERS. AS TIME PASSES, WE MAY FORGET WHO SCORED THE WINNING BASKET AT A BASKETBALL GAME, WE MAY FORGET THE NAME OF THE TEACHER WHO WOULD NEVER LET US IN THE HALLS WITHOUT A HALL PASS, AND WE MAY EVEN FORGET THE NAME OF THAT PERSON WHO SAT BEHIND US IN CHEMISTRY AND ALWAYS WANTED TO CHEAT; WHAT WE SHALL NEVER FORGET, HOWEVER, IS THAT OUR CLASS POSSESSED A UNIQUE QUALITY. WE, THE CLASS OF 1982, WILL BE BEST REMEMBERED FOR OUR OVERALL CLOSENESS OR UNITY. WE HAVE CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED THAT WE CAN SUCCESSFULLY WORK AND LEARN TOGETHER, AND GET RESULTS. WE ARE THE CLASS OF 1982 AND WE ARE TOGETHER IN THOUGHT AND ACTION. WE MAY NOT HAVE LIKED THE LONG SPEECHES OF MR. KATTERHENRICH, THE IDEA OF BUSING, OR I. S.S., BUT WE STUCK TOGETHER AND MADE THE BEST OF IT. WE MET PROBLEMS TOGETHER AND OVERCAME THEM TOGETHER. NOW, WE ARE SENIORS. WE ARE TOGETHER IN OUR FINEST DAY: GRADUATION. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR CLASS. WE HAVE WORKED, STUDIED AND PLAYED HARD. WE HAVE SHARED TEARS, JOY, AND DEFEAT, BUT WE HAVE BATTLED BACK. WE ARE STRONGER FOR THE STRUGGLE. WE ' VE MADE IT. 12 SENIORS

YEARBOOK STAFF WHAT MAKES PEOPLE GET INVOLVED WITH SOMETHING THAT THEY KNOW IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DO? IN THE CASE OF THE SOME 21 PEOPLE WHO SIGNED UP FOR THE YEARBOOK STAFF FOR 81-82, IT WAS A CASE OF SHEER ADVENTURE. THE NUMBER, HOWEVER, SOON DWINDLED AS STUDENT AFTER STUDENT FOUND THAT MUCH HARD WORK GOES INTO THE PRODUCTION OF A DAVID BRANNON NATALIE BRETZ YEARBOOK. FOR THOSE WHO STUCK IT OUT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, CONFIDENCE, AND HARD WORK. MIFFLIN HIGH SCHOOL IS ALL THE BETTER FOR THOSE WHO UNSELFISHLY GAVE OF THEIR TIME AND SWEAT AND TALENTS. THANKS: NATALIE, STANLEY, ELAINE, BRIDGETT, KIM, KATHY, JAMES, MICHAEL, DANIELLE, MARLA, DENEEN, AND TONI AND FINALLY, MERRIEL. MR. STEWART WISHES YOU WELL, AND HOPES THAT THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT IN WHATEVER YOUR GOALS MIGHT BE. WE AT MIFFLIN WILL MISS THE SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE STAFF AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE OTHERS NEXT YEAR.
