Since LIFE encapsulates major events of the school year, this section acts as a bridge between the U.S. introductory section and the following three magazines, which offer expanded coverage of specific areas of high school life. In the following pages, we have presented the events which offered opportunities for involvement to students, staff, and area persons. We have also included several feature stories which we felt would interest students of our area. LIFE offers a lighthearted focus on the memory-making elements of the 1980-81 school year. We hope that our efforts have captured some special moments for you. Sincerely. Debbie Wade.
