Leading the pack So we thought! In 1980 at MHS being a senior meant being the best you could at what you did. Whether it was a sport, a play. Bio X, or something else, seniors at MHS excelled. Of course, it wasn’t easy to be continually interested in school, since nothing really new could happen. At the beginning of the year, the general attitude was, “Well, I only have one more year here, but as the year pushed on. students had a growing interest in being the bigshots around the school that ran the show. The senior class set the mood and spirit in 1980! Pepfests were run and taken over by seniors: ABUF, C-Squad, male skipperettes, NO RESPECT, cheerleaders and more. Most varsity sports were made up of seniors and a good portion of all of our third hour classes was dominated by the sound of three senior voices. Student Government was composed mainly of energetic seniors who tried relentlessly to plan exciting events in an effort to keep seniors interested in school, but to no avail. As always senior slump set in and the big question“What will I do with my life? What college should I go to, or should I go? Money?” The year was full of decisions that prepared us for that final graduation day when everyone had to admit that they, were perhaps, a little bit sorry to go.

Life in Minnetonka was pretty easy. It wasn’t difficult for one to find something to occupy their time no matter what time of the year it was. Our lives were greatly affected by our environment. Minnesota’s seasons offered the opportunity to be involved in a variety of different activities. In summer we found recreation on Lake Minnetonka by boating, skiing, tubing, sailing, swimming and laying in the sun. Out of the water time was spent at parties, four-wheeling, and for some at work. Fall, for the majority, meant back to school and time to break out the books and start cherishing the weekends. We have grown to love Minnetonka and we are truly proud to live in Minnetonka!! Living to the Max!! PAGE 8: Left; Dennis Berlin, Robbie Douglas, and Dirk Caswell at the Excelsior Commons. Top Right; Beth Stafford at the Powder Puff football game.
