Coming to the end of the race As I sat afid watched the fire burn, the flames as they rose and cracked over the wood, I began to think, who am I? Where am I going? Every senior at one time or another thinks about the final winding road, and probably feels as though it ' s the end. Someone once said, What may seem to be the end is really a beginning. May 21 , 1 980 may seem to be the end for many seniors. As they reflect over the past four years, they remember all those crazy times I the ball games, the parties, the dances, and all their truly wonderful friends whose everlasting friendships will never be forgotten. The tears will fall, for the class of 1 980 truly had a ' touch of class. ' And though they all will part, this really is a new beginning for each and everyone. Next fall, each person will be starting a new life. Some will start work while others will be off to college. Graduation is still a while off. But remember, this is the last year. Time cannot be captured in a bottle and stored on a shelf. For the only thing that can be saved are the memories. Lifestyes — 13

Horsing around, flying an airplane, taking pictures, music, writing, and making movies are a source of diversion for some faculty members. If they can ' t find their means of escape close by, several try to search for it through travel. It may be a big city or a small cabin and living like a hermit, but they bring peace to those people. I like going home and seeing my children every day, says Tom Lamb, history instructor. Students, however, find their methods of escape through different means. Some rollerskate, play musical instruments, goto movies, sit through plays at the Civic time after time, date, talk to friends, and yes, even smoke pot for their release from school pressures. I just like listening to my stereo, says Rick Norton. With the minds and bodies of students and teachers spending most of the day scholastically, most at least minor in some type of escape. School gets to everyone at times. Even when time is most precious, that assignment is due, or there is that deadline to meet, we still need to set some time aside to temporarily escape from the troubles of school life, or it will all catch up to us, one of these days. Embarrassing moments can occur when caps and gowns don ' t fit properly. To be sure ttiis doesn ' t tiappen to Keitti Hoffman, tie is measured prior to the final fitting.

Art spcaftUM It likes you so you love it. (the low life and high times of John and Mary i an to.) Dedicated to the folks and village of New Haven, Indiana. I He saw her in the mirror: an extraordinary girl; He dared not to come near her, he feared her every curl. But he found he could befriend her could win her to his side. And for all the things he ' d spend on her She ' d take him for a ride. They never really cared about Or really even stared about The people they ' d become . . . They really only cared about And really only stared about The avoidable humdrum. So at the wedding no official: Money changed so superficial; Such an old, beleaguered ritual Went according to his plans. And at the wake where no one spoke. (The words had all gone up in smoke.) Hervery life waslikea joke: But death will never laugh II For it likes you so you like it: A weed the English never lit: The paper ' s rolled — you take a hit — And turn into yourself. It holds you like no body can: So much sweeter than a man It never tries to understand Just lets you have your way. Makes life without it hard to bear: You have to have it sit and stare — You climb the walls if it ' s not there; Makes other love seem old and stale. No reason In the world to quit Without it nothing seems to fit, Your other fun just orbits it One keeps it at all one cost! So John and Mary do a dance: Make it scary take a chance Fight a little laugh a lot — While their minds collapse and rot. For when it likes you must love it: A weed the English never lit; A lot like money if A lot like money; a lot like sex — A lying mirror if one reflects! All the time and space will end and kill But Mary ' s drug will keep her still! No matter who can give her reasons Her life can hold no sweeter season Her life affords no greater joy Than she has had with her boy . . . So it likes you — well you love it! The paper ' s rolled — you take your hit! You get your job — you do your bit: They ' ll bury you with your man! And at the wake no one will speal The tears will fall — the Poet Steve Nelson has written numerous poems about ttie life of students and teactiers, ttieir reiationstiips and downfalls. 1 4 Arts
