Tonight is a night that all of us seniors have waited for for a long time. Tonight we seniors experi- ence a sense of achievement; an achievement that only four years ago seemed to be such a long time away. As we seniors start down that long road of life we look into the future with different ideas and goals. We are faced with a challenge that only desire and sheer determination will be able to overcome. There are many opportunities and goals that we can set our sights on. Whether you attempt to establish a career, begin a family life, or go on to school to broaden your edu- cation. never give up. At this time 1 would like to express my gratitude to every- one who has made tonight and the past four years success, a great experience for us all. The administration, faculty, classmates, community, and our parents, who have pro- vided us with marvelous facilities, materials, and also sup- ported us through the tons of homework and other school- time activities and headaches. As we assemble here with our fellow classmates, we real- ize that as we go into this world, we go as an individual and not as a group An individual faced with the greatest chal- lenge of determination. So fellow classmates as you go into the world just remember the words of radio personality. Casey Casern, Keep your feet on the ground and reach for the stars.” S a£utcUo 'ittut Tfeutcy cutye We. the class of 1981. would like to welcome you to this special occasion. Tonight holds moments of pride, anticipation of the future, and memories of our accomplishments and friendships We are proud to have been a part of Ness City High School, with the guidance of the faculty, the support of the community, and the school spirit displayed by all. A special thanks goes to you for your guidance, support, and school spirit. Without you. we would not be able to achieve our goals and look forward to the future The future holds many exciting and rewarding experiences for each one of us. Although we may be faced with difficult situations and hard decisions, we have been given a head start in dealing with each, because you cared. We will be going our separate ways but will always hold on to our memories. Many accomplishments will be remembered from our first day of high school to this night, but our most cherished memories will be the friendships we have come to know and depend on. This may be our last time together as a class; however, we will never forget the times we have shared. 1 would like to wish you, my fellow classmates, the best in all that you do in life. To meet the challenges of the world, we must not wait for opportu- nities to come to us. we must go out and look for them. So. 1 would like to leave one challenge with you. 'What I’ve dared I’ve willed; and what I've willed. I'll do.” Thank you. 82 Mrs. Clara Rose Munsch served as the Elementary Secretary for the 1st Semester before moving over to the High School Mr. Janssen and Mrs. Harmison consult on one of the many administrative matters that arise during the year. 84 Mrs. Kay Horchem Home Economics Mr Ron Tillitson Math.
