What does the future hold for you? I have no answer, but I hope you do. Think of yourself as a piece of clay, that you, yourself, can mold in any way. In your hands lies what ' s yet to come. Please be careful, walk don ' t run. You could do nothing with that clay, but only an idiot would throw it away; bit by bit until no clay remains then life won ' t seem like fun and games. Right now you can fiddle with that clay, but eventually that clay will rot away. Or, you could give your clay, your future, to another and let them make your decisions like a mother. Don ' t let them mold you into what they see. You ' d become a creatio n of what they want you to be. You ' d forever feel obligated to them, for they made you what they believe is a gem. You would belong to them until the end of time. This is no joke, it is no rhyme. The best choice is to use your mind, your imagination, and your devoted time. Working slowly with that clay you ' d be forming a sculpture beautiful in every way. Molding exactly what you want to be, it would be worth the drudgery. Of course you ' d be making mistakes along the way, but at least they ' re yours, nobody elses, you can say. Mold that clay into something that people will admire, for then, you ' d never be a victim of satire. You ' d be someone that people will respect, honor, and love. That clay could be something that you could be proud of. What does the future hold in store? I pray to God you choose the right door.

You may know a few of them individually as the captain of the boy ' s ski team, or the senior awarded Nicest Smile , but as a group they re- present the Class of 1982. The four officers, Tim Ross (Presi- dent), John Metzger (Vice-President), Pam Getchell (Secretary), and George Quirk (Treasurer), along with advisor Mr. Mina, began planning long before the year started. Although the never- ending quest for senior privileges seemed a fiasco at times, it was only a part of the plans made and accom- plished for the class. The talents of all four officers were pushed to the limits as they became ex- perts on turkeys in November, cap mea- surements in December, and graduation speeches in January. The officers hope to have provided the best possible memories for the class of ' 82. In the years to come visions of Tim Ross dressed as Diaperman for Halloween, and Pam Getchell straining to measure graduation cap sizes while standing on a chair will be mixed with the bittersweet memories of the last dance at the prom and that moment at graduation when you realize that your childhood is over and the world awaits.
