[’ 6 Opening Section it's more than leaps and bounds What’s Some people’s idea of a “Skipper’' |is one who misses all their classes, others immediately think of someone who moves in light leaps and bounds, while still others believe it is a person who stands by the shores of Lake Minnetonka tossing flat rocks across the water. It's about time that people find out what a Minnetonka Skipper really is! One thing that's true is that many of :hem can be found either in, on, or around Lake Minnetonka. Minnetonka Skippers can be seen everywhere doing what they love most. Some do things in groups, in pairs or by themselves; but there is something to do for everyone. Tennis, sailing, hiking, eating, cruising, laughing, parties, and friends are some of the favorites; ... others are as individual as the person himself. Each person makes of life what they want — and the juniors are well on their way. They still have time for fun before college preparations are to be started, and this is a great time to take last plunges into things. The juniors made it through their first two years, and now they’re going for three, attempting things they always wanted to do, but were afraid to try. The juniors will be fantastic leaders in years to come.

8 Opening Section So far so fast tomorrows oecome today At last we were Seniors, the oldest and the wisest; but where did time go? Only yesterday we came through the doors for the first time — well mannered, inquisitive and easy to get along with. We earned our reputation and accomplished our goal — graduation! From this day forward when we go through the doors of it will never be the same as it was before. The change was gradual. The once “free” hours became decision times concerning the future. The once “fun money was set aside for college or the future. We are now a product of our experiences as we leave Minnetonka's doors to see what other doors we can open. In our shadow will be the close friends we made, and the good times we shared, and all the things we want never to be forgotten. To be a senior was something we always dreamed about, now it’s time for others to dream, as we leave only memories behind. Perhaps, the thought of graduating is full of mixed feelings, but one thing for sure is that high school will be remembered by all.
