The ride has been an exciting and memorable experience, long to be cherished by its passengers, engineers, and patrons. It is hoped that this Zephyr will not be retired from usage as the legendary Zephyr was. but will provide a means to remember the activities and people involved with the 1982-83 school year at Neponset High. We can never again take the same ride, but by viewing The Zephyr, the ride can remain fondly in our memories. The Annual Staff sincerely hopes that you had a pleasant journey on—The Zephyr. « I
