Playing the Year Again Like a good record, the 1981-82 school year was worth playing over and over again. One never gets tired of reminiscing about the champions, the good times, and the other memories that are deeply imprinted in his mind. The happenings that mean the most to each individual that has ever come in contact with Parry Mc- Cluer High School will be recorded in his or her own personal album of memories. Although the 1981-82 school year will only be a small part of this album, for many it was one of the most important years of life. Seniors, experiencing their last year of high school ever, will always hold this past year precious. For Juniors this was the year of class rings and the Prom. Sophomores finally had the ex- perience of driving. The first year of high school will be remembered by the Freshman Class. In order to make it easier for everyone at Parry McCluer to recall the year, the Parrimac Staff has put together an album designed to spark these memories. Because the year was filled with so much excitement and so many events, it was im- possible to record every moment. The Parrimac Staff hopes that this recording will be worth playing again and again. The Labor Day festivities have always been enjoyed by all of the community. This year, however, many students took part in this special celebration. Cheerleaders and band members performed for the many people who attended. In order to raise money, the Junior class, as well as the cheerleaders, opened conces- sion stands. Without a doubt, the activities of the day were fun for everyone. Members of the Junior Class, Tony Brads and Kim Kidd, open a watermelon stand at Glen Maury Park while celebrating Labor Day.

Upon starting the year, students had to get used to their new teachers — teachers had to get used to their new students. New faces appeared everywhere. Classes were unfamiliar and a bit scary. But as the year progressed, students and teachers became ac- customed to seeing each other every school day. Everyone soon found out what was expected of him. While in classes, students and teachers faced problems of many kinds. Social problems and educa- tional problems were soon solved when they were brought to the attention of the proper staff or faculty member. Freshmen were excited about the start of their new high school career. During the new school year they participated in Rat Week, in which the Seniors helped them adjust to the routine. Although the Sophomores had experienced high scbool the year before, they were still excited about the upcoming year. They all knew that this year they would reach that magic age — sixteen. Of all classes the Juniors were probably the least excited about the new school year. They had already experienced two years of high school and had a great deal of work to do in preparing for one of the biggest nights of their high school career, the Prom. The Juniors would soon find out how much hard work it takes to give a Prom for the Seniors. Although some were happy and some were sad about this be- ing their last school year, the Seniors were looking forward to the beginning of school. Time was running out for decisions for the future. Solving problems was an every- day event throughout the school year. Although these problems seemed enormous af the time they were discovered, with the help of others we found that anything could be overcome as long as we were working together. Division Class Faculty 5
