Dedication The Class of 1982 proudly dedicates the 1982 Pcnnson- ian to Mr. Bradley Brown, in appreciation of his interest and guidance. As an advisor to the Senior Class, Mr. Brown has unselfishly given of his time and energy in making sure that everything went well for our class. From electing officers to pulling off a respectable graduation ceremony, Mr. Brown has helped us tremendously. In the classroom, he has given us an insight into our nation’s government and has had an amazing way of really keeping our interest, whatever the subject was. His friendly and witty manner has made him a favorite among the students. The Senior Class will never forget their fond memories of Mr. Brown’s P.O.D. class. He really shows an interest in his students and goes out of his way to help them. He has given us the confidence to strive toward our many and varied goals. Our years at North Penn have been happy and memora- ble, and to you, Mr. Brown, go our sincere thanks.

Webster defines an obstacle as “something that stands in the way.” Life is full of obstacles. The closer we get to adulthood, the more challenging the obstacles become. Throughout this book there is a little fellow named “Al”, who faces many of these so-called “obsta- cles”. To a seventh grader filling out his schedule in Sep- tember, the journey he is about to embark on must seem overwhelming. From six-day cycles to that “gruff Mr. U.”, the obstacles to be overcome in his next six years are many. In the same manner, our little “Al” must face seemingly insurmountable obstacles in his path. Al- though there are many more flatlands that are easy to trudge over, to reach his goal, Al must struggle over the challenging hills as well. Throughout school, we are among friends, teachers, and are still the center of attention at home. Support is there, but we must assume more and more responsibility. Our success of failure is in our hands. Yes, these people can support us, but they can’t carry us. Al is facing responsibilities also, by just making the decision to take his trip, taking the right paths up the hill, and deciding where to go next. He is taking it in his own hands to make the decisions for his future. Decisions must be made and some will be wrong. Mistakes and pain will be endured by all. Some will not complete the journey. The struggle and risks are necessary, as one cannot truly enjoy the ex- hilirating view from the top, without knowing the effort it took to get there. Likewise, Al will have many pains and hardships while making hs way up the hills, but if he doesn’t go through the struggle, he'll never make it to the top. If he never reaches the peak of the mountain, he’ll never be able to look down on where he’s already been or to what the road ahead holds for him. The vast majority succeed and leave North Penn with the skills and momentum necessary to meet whatever may lie ahead. The memories are pleasant ones, like being part of a successful play, getting an A in Trig., scoring the winning bucket in that big game,... these are the rewards for our struggles, like the studying, the rehearsals, the endless hours of working on that jumper. After climbing all those mountains and pulling himself out of all those valleys, Al will probably be able to tackle any mountain that the unknown road ahead holds for him. As our seniors gra- duate, they will see that their time at North Penn was not in vain, and when they leave this old building, they will be capable of tackling any obstacle placed in front of them. The friends who shared and cared, memories that will become more precious as time slips by, and the satisfac- tion that you feel as you met and mastered the stiffest challenge of your life .. . these are what we hope to pre- serve in our 1982 Pennsonian.
