Raider Fteview, A Big Hit ItIs a lot of hard workf' said Miss Marilyn Martin, sponsor of the Beta Club, referring to the annual talent show. Beta Club starts a month ahead of time to get everything organized for the final show. In February, judges from outside the school selected 12 acts to participate from the 50 that tried out. Tuesday, March 11, the talent show opened with 800 to 1,000 people in the audience. Last year was the first year there were four Masters of Ceremonies instead of the usual two. Over 81,500 was made by putting on the show. The various proceeds were used for scholarships, for a faculty coffee, for new letters for the marque, for their end- of-the-year banquet, and for the Jim Wallgren fund. Why did I want to enter the talent show? Lisa Rotunda, a participant in the show, repeated the question. Because I was new in the school and I wanted people to know who I was, she hesitantly added. I was very nervous while I was trying out in front of the judges, but hearing the applause after we performed was all worth it 'Along with the talent show, other Spring Activities included the Sadie Hawkins Day and Dance, following with a Twirp Week which consisted of Fifties and Sixties Days. This wacky week also included Crazy Sock Day and Crazy Hat and Tie Day. These activities highlighted the everyday pace. PARTICIPATION in 50's day proved profitable for Steve Jones and Lonnie Hillin as they won cash prizes for best dressed. DARK GLASSES and a ponytail helped Rhonda McDowell win the second place of S10 in the Fifties Day contest. Student Life

We've Made It For elegance and beauty, you couldn't have wanted more from the Senior Prom. The occasion was organized by the Senior Planning Committee. Seeing classmates in tuxedos and long dresses was quite a change from the usual jeans and T-shirts. Not only was the Prom time consuming, it was also costly. Mr. Gary Reeves estimated that last year's prom cost the Senior Class over SS'I0,000. That money was used for renting the LeBaron Hotel, for favors, and for decorations. The theme that night was A Class With CIass. Approximately 500 students attended. MH. BOB PRICE congratulates David Boswell who has received his diploma at graduation. RHONDA MCDOWELL, Laurie Ftaether, Lowell Brooks, and Randy Stolz watch the presentation at the Senior Prom. Student Life As the Prom made history, eager minds looked toward graduation with confidence. The wearing of caps and gowns is a privilege of every graduate. They are the clothes that say, We've finally made it! Of the 512 students who graduated in the 1980 class, 76 of them graduated with honors. l think that last year's graduation was better than those in the past at least from my standpoint, Mr. Reeves stated. Our students act very good during the graduation which pleases us, he added. KAREN WINDHAM, Brenda Flowers, and Lance Churchman, honor students, lead the 1980 class on the stage for graduation ceremonies. 'I
