Somewhere over the rainbow lies a special place. Enjoying a bike ride in the park, a game of tennis or a special walk around the lagoon are only a tew of the events that pass the time. Remember the fountain lights, Illinois River bridge raising as a barge passes by, the Dirksen Congressional Research Center for a cultural aspect, and all those familiar socializing sports at the Mall or MacDonalds? This town holds many memories for us of the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad times. Still, throughout the hardships and unforgettable experiences, friendships are abundant in this special place because . this is Pekin!

Roll with the changes might be a good description of the 1979-80 school role Throughout the year, the school board has made changes affecting every Pekin student. East Campus students now may be faced with in-school-suspensions as punishment for violating rules. Graduation procedures also changed for the class of 80 Besides separate baccalaureate services in the theater, students will receive only their diploma cover at graduation; diplomas will be distributed the following day with return of cap and gowns. Students are now required to take semester final exams. Pekin's new dragon, which was approved by the school board, has installed a new spirit and sense of pride in our school making East and West Campuses more of a single unit. Regardless of the changes made, life inside each side will go on relatively as it always has; freshmen will be the target for every imaginable practical joke, as will seniors, after 12 long years, feel they dominate and live it up in their last year required school. Regardless of grade level, many memories to forever cherish will be collected inside each side!
