l62fJuniors Fired-Up and ready was the only way to describe the junior class of the year 1982. They were led through thick and thin by their class ofiicersg Julie Bowles, presidentg Jill Watson, vice presidentg Robin Furgison, secretary, and Gabie Ralphs, treasurer. At times the class made at- tempts to change tradition, but these attempts were brought to halt quickly. Although the junior class was al- lowed no growth in numbers, they excelled in every thing they set out to do. They pulled to- gether and earned enough mon- ey to support the yearbook with an advertisement, and they were nothing less than eager to begin the class competition weekg in which they finished second be- hind the senior class. They sponsored such events as the well-attended junior dance during football season. Then, in mid-January the basketbail game against the senior boys moved class spirit to the highest level. The junior class main- tained a strong outlook on the future, and with their junior year behind them, look out 1983.
