Title Page 1 Rules for PHS Game of Life You, too, can be a winner in this game of Life. That's the ob- ject of the game. It all centers around the wheel of fortune. You start out on Life’s Hallways, with a fresh new year of High School. As you walk, you meet with Success, Failure, Revenge and eventually, Graduation. Your luck — your decisions — may give you more than one chance. Revenge: You must get revenge for any of the following predica- ments: 1. You’re a senior, and someone mistakes you for a frosh. 2. You get stood up on prom night; and on top of that, some- one spills gravy on your tux — and you didn't pay the stain de- posit. To Start: You must have com- pleted 8th Grade with passing grades. You must enroll in Platts- mouth Community High School and live in the vicinity. Playing The Game: Spin the Wheel of Fortune and you will en- counter many memorable exper- iences. Pay Day: You will receive a weekly salary to spend on such necessities as: pizza, cokes, cor- sages, movies, gas and the like. The following is a list of rules and regulations. As long as you follow the rules, you are certain to make it through high school. Once you have made it, the road opens to many opportunities. You may become a millionaire, and return in luxury; or, you may wind up as a teenage wasteland. But, that’s life. 3. Someone stuffs your clarinet with bubblegum. 4. Your best girlfriend is seen go- ing out with your best friend. Strategies: (How to succeed in High School without really try- ing.) 1. ‘Yes’ — ‘No’. This method is the most common method used by students. It serves its purpose well for freshmen as well as sen- iors, and involves only usuage of the words ‘Yes, sir’ and ‘No, Sir’. 2. Superstudents: These are the people that make you absolutely sick. They’ll always have their as- signments neatly done and hand- ed in on time. These people are usually the ones that do their al- gebra in fountain pen. 3. Borrowing: Borrowing a friends's notes, papers, books or brains is yet another way to make it without really trying. 4. Heroism: The proud possessor of the Silver Supporter award will never flunk, rest assured of that. As long as he can make a diving catch or a basket when the buzz- er sounds, he's going to pass. Graduation: This signifies the end of the first round of the game. All players hand in their books and receive one (1) diplo- ma. At the end of the game, play- ers proceed to the rest of Life. 2 Rule Page Pat Lemieux favors your basic bed. Bob prefers a folding table.

What would you call a man that builds houses, coaches wrestling, holds down a teaching job and a family — and still remains hum- ble? Most people would call him fan- tastic; we call him Mr. Goings. Ferde Goings was born in Hol- dredge, Nebraska in 1945. His parents farmed the land of Hol- dredge, and from these beginnings Ferde Goings has gone on to live a full and illustrious life, spanning four sports and a career that has truly made him a winner in the Game of Life. Football and wrestling were the two sports he participated in dur- ing high school and college. After graduation, he spent his collegiate Dig them threads! years at Kearney State. He gradu- ated from there 1969 with a major in Physical Education and a minor in Mathematics. He went on to re- ceive his Master’s degree from U.N.O. in 1977. Ferde Goings married his wife Barbara in 1969. His family grew from there, and he is presently the proud father of three children - Cheryl, Kirk and Brett. He has taught at Plattsmouth a total of eleven years, and he has served as head wrestling coach for ten of those years. Call him Mr. Goings; call him humble; call him what you like — but you can’t help but call Ferde Goings fantastic.

And the 1979 Homecoming Pa- rade got the festivities off to a roaring start. To refresh your memory the parade went as fol- lows: the Varsity Band, the Booster Club, D.J. Ofe and Paula Linder, Advanced Chorus, Kirk Hutton and Jodi Scaturro, the Cheerleaders, David Blotzer and Connie Endelicato, the Spirit Club, the 8th grade Band, Todd Mitteis and Lucy Reichart, the Sophomore Class, the Freshmen Class, David Sharp and Jackie Morehead, the Metals Class, the Junior Class, and last but not least the 9th grade Band. Good going to the Freshmen for getting 1st place on their float. Well that sums up the afternoon celebra- tion. Read on for a description of the later activities. I knew I'd reach the top somehow. Booster Moms join the festivities. They got the music in them. 16 Activities the Devil Down, Set. Butt-butt. Our 35-0 win over Falls City Tigers added to the festivities. The game was rather boring be- cause we were always on top. But that didn’t stop the crowd from cheering. At half-time the Alumni Band stepped out on the field and remembered how it used to be, and of course the Senior and Freshmen Bands played many memorable tunes. Then the Drill Team escorted on to the field the parents of the Homecoming Candidates. They were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Linder parents of Paula Linder, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ofe parents of D.J. Ofe, Mrs. Janice Estes parent of Jodi Scaturro, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hutton parents of Kirk Hutton, Mr. and Mrs. Mar- ion Endelicato parents of Connie Endelicato, Mr. and Mrs. John Blotzer parents of David Blotzer, Mr. and Mrs. Don Reichart par- ents of Lucy Reichart, Mrs. Bar- bara Mitteis Story parent of Todd Mitteis, Mr. Lloyd Morehead par- ent of Jackie Morehead, and Mr. Roy Sharp parent of David Sharp.

He played disco, rock, all the good ones. He even had Coach Fuller out there groovin’ to the beat. Then came the magic hour — the crowning of the King and Queen. As the candidates came out you could see that look of anticipation on their faces. David Sharp the 1979-80 Homecoming King and Lucy Reichart the 1979-80 Homecoming Queen then engaged in a royalty dance. Lucy is a senior and is involved in cheerleading, FHA, National Honor Society, class officer, stu- dent council, and State DECA president.

Activities 19 Employer-Employee Banquet Lucy Reichart. 1979 DECA State President, comments on DECA as the rest of the head table listen. The tenth annual Employer- Employee Banquet was held April 10, 1980, in the Platts- mouth High Gymnasium. The Banquet is held for both the employers and the employ- ees so that they can visit with each other in a different place other than work. The Banquet this year was really nice. We had enough help to do everything quickly and effi- ciently”, said Mrs. Ruth Was- singer, the Distributive Education Coordinator Teacher. The banquet is put together for the Distributive Education stu- dents and DECA members as well as the Work Experience stu- dents, coordinated by Mrs. Bev Harter. Welcoming the group of em- ployers and employees was Lucy Reichart, a Distributive Education student, with a response from Mr. Ted Ohnoutha, Lucy’s employer from the Plattsmouth Lumber Yard. The invocation was said by Rev Ernest Lemiuex, of the First United Methodist Church. A wonderful dinner was served and along with it the Middle School vocal music department, headed by LeAnn Hofman, sang for the group. As DECA State president, Lucy Reichart commented on how DECA has grown, what she has done as DECA State Presi- dent, and even though her presi- dency is up, how she plans to help DECA in the future. Mr. Fred Kaufman made the closing remarks to the group, after the introductions of all the people participating with the work experience and on-the-job training program. 20 Employer-Employee Banquet Banquet brings together many employers and employees.

Employer-Employee Banquet 21 ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ The smell of the greasepaint, the roar of the crowd ... The crowd. The audience; the paying customers. They are the en- tire reason for your existence on stage. And when you walk out and feel the lights, you can feel the audi- ence as well. You can't see them — maybe a flash from a pair of eye- glasses — but you can’t see the audience. You can only feel them, watching, waiting for the next punch line. While the audience relaxes and allows itself to be entertained, the actors work, alone on their island of light and fakery. The only respite is the closing of the curtains. The audi- ence disappears for a while, and the show stops. The fakery stops, and the show dwindles down to twenty nervous people who just want to go home and forget everything. Intermission ends, and the actors once again take the stage, deter- mined to bring the show to a climax, Lines fly through the hot, tense air, and the characters begin to breathe and move and feed from one an- other in a mass symbiosis of life. The play is no longer a script; the actors are no longer a drama club. Life is brought forth, solely for enter- tainment purposes. Finally, the last tag line is de li- vered; actors leave the stage, and congratulate each other and thank each other for ‘saves,’ watching the remaining members on stage finish the script. The finish ... the lights go down ... the curtain closes. But then .... The roar of the crowd rises from the auditorium. Curtains open as the actors run out as themselves — merely mortals in make-up — and B. Weaver. T. Jones, K. Olsen, P. Sullivan, C. Hall, S. Sullivan, E. Musgjerd, S. Scott, P. Linder, L. Marks. T. Humphrey, M. Tassone, M. Van Doren and J. Risk. is a killer bow down to their audience in grati- tude. Once again, the curtain closes, and the show has finished one more performance. And after the make-up is stripped off, and the sweat soaked shirts hung up, and the set taken down and put away until tomorrow night, it seems that the show never was. Once again, the show is just a script, performed by mortals in make-up. But standing there, alone in the lights and the litter, one can almost hear the last echoes of the crowd that really was there. The audience really was there for the 1980 spring play, Arsenic and Old Lace.” The show was put on as a dinner theater in conjunction with the Food Service class. The comedy scored well with the community, and the meal was boffo as well. Teddy Roosevelt on the attack! 22 Spring Play Mr. Witherspoon and his briefs ... Below — Yes, it's spiked!

And it sure beats watching 'Mork and Mindy’ with a T.V. dinner. For the second year in a row, the Plattsmouth High Drama De- partment held a dinner theater in conjunction with the Food Ser- vices Class, under Mrs. Jacque Gaebel’s supervision. The menu included tossed sal- ad, baked chicken breast, green beans almondine, baked potato with sour cream and butter, din- ner rolls and miniature chocolate pies. Mrs. Gaebel called the Dinner Theater a “learning experience” for the members of the Food Ser- vice class, stating that they would get very little other oppor- tunity to work in a restaurant situ- tation elsewhere. The total number of people at- tending the Dinner Theater was set at 120 for the 3-night run. Mike-shows Mrs. Gaebel how hard he can work for a grade. Dinner Theater 25 Outstanding musicians honored Good food, good friends, awards and all that jazz. That's what the 1980 Band Ban- quet was. The supper was a pot luck from the Band Parents, the entertainment was the Bellevue East High Jazz Band, who jammed their way into the banquet with some oh-so-cool tunes. After the performance, the awards were presented by the M.C.’s of the evening, Mr. Skip Kull and Mr. John Brooks, Director and Assistant directors of the band, re- spectively. Among the honors pre- sented were gifts to the “Band Aids,” and gifts, in turn, to the di- rectors and their wives. But then; the awards ... Trisha Henning received the award for outstanding freshman band member. Christina Topliff re- ceived the award for outstanding senior band member. The band also received it’s two superior ratings for the marching season, and all the entries from the District Music contest received their ‘Vs. Letters were presented to the senior band members. Everyone lettered as a result of the fine per- formances turned in by the seniors members over their four years in high school band ... And that’s a nice way to spend an evening; good food, good friends, good jazz, and a few awards to make it look good.

Graduation is all the four years of study and hard work culminat- ing into one grand night of cere- mony and Pomp and Circum- stance. Graduation is practicing walk- ing the last mile before you re- ceive your diploma. Graduation is being with your friends the last time as a high school student, and knowing though it’s over, it’d be fun to do some of it over again. Graduation is saying good-bye to high school, and hello to col- lege. Graduation is the final stand- point between adolescence and maturity. Graduation is the beginning of a whole new world, and the dawning of a new era in your life. Graduation was May 19th for the departing seniors of Platts- mouth High School. Baccalaure- ate was held the night before in the gym. 123 seniors graduated from Plattsmouth High to make the class of ’80. Honor Graduates included: David Blotzer, Scott Carpenter, Kelly Case, Sharon Case, Greg- ory Curtright, Carroll Dexter, Richard Eggert, Bruce Emig, Daryl Hild, Patrick Humphrey, Kirk Hutton, Keryl Knake, Angela Lairamore, Paul Linder, Greta Porath, Troy Porter, Christine Prather, Lucy Reichart, Cynthia Tomes, Christina Topliff, and Ste- phen Tully. 28 scholarships were awarded. And Graduation is just as much the four years behind you as it is the rest of your life ahead. How do you spell relief ...

The team coached by Cecil McKnight may not have captured the State Title but they captured the hearts of everyone as they entered the meet picked as one of the favor- ites. The team also kept McKnights’ tradition of doing good in the State Meet. Plattsmouth, district Champi- ons had depended on a team ef- fort the whole season. The Blue Devils didn’t have an individual champion at any invitational, the Conference, and the District Meets, but they won the Falls City Invitational, Syracuse Invita- tional, Twin Rivers and District meets. Coach McKnight, a successful coach, has an outstanding re- cord as his teams have qualified for the State Meet eight of the last nine years. To go farther they have been State Champions three times and Runner Up twice. This past season the PHS Mentor could have possibly been Run- ner-Up had Alan Wiles not been accidently tripped.

The Blue Devils compiled a 10- 2 season record this past year and made it to the State play-offs for the second time. Among the gridders feats was a second place finish to Norris. The Devils were Class B-1 District Champs. The Devils played as a family and the results were nine players being placed on the All Conference Teams and five packing away honors on various All State teams. With the fine season, many team records were broken: Most wins, most points scored in a sin- gle game, most total points for a season, most first downs made, most yards rushing in a season, total season yards, most shut- outs and most of all, least points scored by the opponent on a per game average.

The high point of the whole season was playing for the State Championship. The spirit at PHS couldn’t have been higher. The students, teachers, parents and fans were behind the team. The team arrived in Lincoln to eat and Governor Thone came to wel- come them. The game itself was one played not to full potential as the Devils made costly errors and lost the game to Norris 20-19. Keeping warm against Lakeview Football 45 Devils have a Give credit for the great suc- cess to Coach Bob Fuller and his staff as they did a great job coaching the new offense and defense. Coach Fuller, a PHS graduate, used the wishbone of- fense and a 4-4 defense, two new attacks to PHS. Before the season started, the Devils had high hopes. They were rated in the pre-season Top 10. The coaches worked hard to get the team ready for the season opener with Blair. After a disap- pointing loss to Blair the Devils responded to their loss with easy wins over their next three oppo- nents. Coach Fuller kept saying, “One game doesn’t make a sea- son.” The fourth and biggest game of the year was with Elk- horn. The game meant that the winner would have a shot of win- ning the district. The Devils won the game as they shut the highly regarded Antlers out, 14-0. All Staters: K. Hutton, D. Blotzer, T. Mitteis, T. Porter, D. Sharp. D. Larson, Coach Bob Fuller.

It was against the rated Nebraska City Pioneers. In order to achieve a State play-off berth, the Devils needed the win. The game was physical, clean, and hard hitting with the Devils the victors. The Devils were in the play-offs and having scored the third most District points, they had the home field advantage for the quarter finals. The powerful Caider and Co. on break. Gothenburg Swedes came to town. The Devils outplayed them 24-0 and advanced to the semi- finals. The semi-final game was at Columbus Lakeview. It took a stingy defense and big plays by the offense to ice the Vikings in the snow and frigid weather. The Devils did and were on their way to the State Play-offs in Lincoln against Norris.

Al- though the grapplers didn’t win the meet, it was the first time in Ferde Goings’ 11 years, they were considered to be the best team in the State. The grapplers were considered for a good reason, too. They were second in the Boys Town Invitational, first in Twin Rivers Conference and Hastings tourna- ment, 7-0 in duals, and District Champions. The season wasn't all high- lighted by wins. They finished fifth at Auburn and 3rd at the Plattsmouth Invitational. PHS had a Champion in Kirk Hutton.

Although the girls didn’t have a very successful season, much was learned and a considerable amount of experience was gained. Ten golfers completed the year, which is a tremendous turnout for a girls golf team. Those girls are: Seniors- Keryl Knake, Paula Linder, Mary Nieto, Pam Steube; Juniors- Julie Rhy- lander; Sophomores Cindy Arnold, Carrie Colbert, Brenda Jeanerett; Freshmen Jenny Haag and Trisha Henning.

The marching Blue Devils fin- ished off with yet another suc- cessful season. They high- stepped their way to earn two su- periors, Pershing, and at their own Plattsmouth Invitational. The majorettes that led them through the year were Senior Shari Case and Junior Melissa Case. Feature twirler was Jackie Morehead. They were also under the direc- tion of directors, Skip Kull and John Brooks. Besides performing at all home football games, they marched at various parades throughout Iowa and Nebraska. The band performs in the traditional Homecoming parade. 70 Marching Band Plattsmouth’s 1 The nervous beginning ... anxiously awaiting the end. Which way do I go? Which way do I go? Marching Band 71 Concert Band makes sweet Mr Skip Kull directs the Plattsmouth High Concert Band. Someone has to keep the school ‘in tune’? Like who? The Concert Band, of course. There is no better band that comes to mind, either; at District Music Contests, the band en- tered itself and solos from the band — and came away with eleven Ts. The band also performed for the Rotary, the Masonic Home and the Meals on Wheels pro- gram. The band, according to its di- rector, Mr. Skip Kull, was “excel- lent”. Among the solo entries for contest were a flute trio, a clari- net quartet, a woodwind trio, a trombone trio, a drum solo, two clarinet solos, a tuba solo, a flute solo and a saxophone solo. And that’s music to any band director’s ears. Teresa Brink jams a hot tune on sax. 72 Concert Band music ... to the tunes of 1’s Mr. Kenneth Kull. a.k.a. Skip.

Ah; a night to remember. May 9th, 1980 was the night of the Madrigal’s annual perfor- mance. And it was, as always, excellent. The fifteen members took their audience through the evening in four part harmony, and included John Reimer as their guest soloist on cello. The Madrigal Members includ- ed: Altos; Brenda Berberich, Kim Noack, Lori Good and Gail Little; Sopranos; Vicki Frazier, Gina To- man, Jeanette Painter and Deb- bie Spaustat; Tenors; David Reimer, Ken Simmons and Mike Van Doren; and Bass: Scott Draper, Tim Jones, Scott Ranney and Sean Sheil.

Madrigal 75 You’re a Good Man Happiness is ... Having the entire Peanuts gang — led by Charlie Brown - visit your school. And for two magical nights, that’s what happiness was. In the tradition of fine musicals in the past years of P.H.S., ‘You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown’ stood apart from the rest in it’s wonder- ful quality and entertainment val- ue. The show, which ran Novem- ber 27th and 29th, had some- thing for the whole family as the ever — familiar Peanuts players came alive from the Sunday fun- nies to the Plattsmouth stage. The plot was simple; an account- ing of the daily dilemmas of Char- lie Brown (Tim Jones). Through- out the course of the show, Char- lie Brown and Linus (David Reimer) philosophize, Schroeder (Ken Simmons) and Lucy (Deb- bie Spaustat) make eyes, Patty (Gail Little) romanticizes and Snoopy (Bill Weaver) fantasizes. The evening was filled with mu- sic, magic, madness and song, and “You’re A Good Man, Char- lie Brown” will long be remem- bered as one of Plattsmouth’s finest. And that’s what happiness is. The Peanuts Players are: Back Row - David Reimer (Linus). Ken Simmons (Schroeder), Bill Weaver (Snoopy), Debbie Spaustat (Lucy). Tim Jones (Charlie Brown) and Gail Little (Patty). Charlie Brown takes brown bagging it to new heights. Bill was somewhat upset when this picture was taken. 76 Musical Charlie Brown Gail Little pledges her allegiance. Ken Simmons and Debbie Spaustat play out the eternal Peanuts Lucy plays at her best — being crabby, triangle of love — Schroeder. Lucy, and Beethoven.

They tap you on the shoulder for various reasons; maybe to ask you a favor, or maybe to bor- row something. But only once in your life does anyone tap you on the shoulder to induct you into the Honor Society. This year, the Jesse Whelan chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 27 new mem- bers for the 1979-1980 school year. The senior inductees in- cluded: Greg Curtright, Carroll Dexter, Greta Porath, Laurie Hostetter, Pam Steube, Sandy Konkler, Jackie Morehead, Lenny Marks, Suzy Gardner and Mary Nieto. Junior inductees included: Jeff Wiles, Rick Wohlfarth, Greg Hirz, Dennis Heim, Tami Cox, Suzy Baumgart, Lori Good, Frances Kellison, Tim Jones, Eric Musg- jerd, Rick Rinner, Mike Van Doren, Lori Winters, Benne Jo Speck, Julie Rhylander, Shanna Scott and Kim Parriot. The ceremony preceding the induction was conducted by Troy Porter, Dave Blotzer, Bruce Emig and Angela Lairamore. The opening ceremony defined the objectives and entrance regula- tions of Honor Society. The newly inducted members were given their membership cards and silk roses, as well as scrolls certifying their member- ship. Oh, but there is no greater Honor than to be tapped on the shoulder — especially for Honor Society. Honor Society inducts Dave taps Tami.

Although the club wasn’t very active, perhaps due to low membership, they did attend the State Leadership Conference in Omaha. The leaders of these future Carnegies were Angela Laira- more, President, and Christina Topliff, Vice-President. And that’s the stuff busines- spersons — present and future — are made of.

Several of the projects for the year were: The hallway decoration for homecoming; and they helped with the Easter Egg Hunt that the Chamber of Commerce puts on. And the Chamber of Commerce gave DECA the Community Booster Award for the first of the year for having students in the work force, The Old Bank Sponsored the club in the Christmas tree contest.

Only where certain people are — like the Speech and Dra- ma Club — is the stage. The Speech and Drama Club had a very good year. Although the team was young for the 1979 1980 season, much talent came shining through for the future in every field of competitive speak- ing. The club said goodbye to four senior members this year, includ- ing Jeff Hume, Mary Nieto, Lenny Marks and Anne Steube. The year’s consistent winner was Lenny Marks, who won at every contest the team attended. He finished second in the District contests. So all the world’s not a stage; but then, with people like the Speech and Drama Club at work, who could ask for anything more? Back: M. Tassone. M. Hume. A. Ellingson, B. Christian, A. Steube, J.

Fight Big White!” That was the familiar maxim of the P.H.S. cheerleaders, heard throughout the 1979-1980 school year. As the football team and the wrestling squad made their bids for state champion- ships, the Plattsmouth cheer- leaders were behind them every step of the way. The 1979-1980 squads were led by Captains Connie Endeli- cato (Football and Basketball), Cindy Tomes (Football and wres- tling), Teri Peterson (Reserves) and Tonya Horn (Freshmen). Throughout the year, the cheerleaders played just as big a part as the Blue Devils them- selves; and perhaps, someone will walk down the halls and hear the final echoes of the cheer- leaders. 1979-80 Cheerleading Squad for wrestling. there’s a Cheerleader 1979-80 Cheerleading Squad for basketball.

The group is in coordination with NSSP (National Student Safety Pro- gram) in which SUNS is a part of. NSSP Holds a National Safety Con- ference every year. The conference for 1979 was held in Flagstaff, Arizona. Seven of the Plattsmouth SUNS group attended: Jeff Wiles, Mary Nieto, Kevin Mayer, Daren Strobel, Randy Kelsey, Lenny Marks, and Sponsors, Mrs. Wiles, and Ms. Squiers. The National Conference gives each state ideas, in which the state or individual groups can carry out in various safety projects. The Plattsmouth group attended two Nebraska SUNS Safety Confer- ences, one in Kearney-in the Fall, and another in Lincoln-in the Spring. Three of the Plattsmouth members were on the State Board. They are: Mary Nieto-Secretary Treasurer, Jeff Wiles, and David Curbey. Newly elected for the 1980 State board are Jeff Wiles and Sheryl Parriott. Throughout the state all of the SUNS groups planned to coordinate three main safety projects. The Plattsmouth group, in coordination with the state had three special pro- jects, They were: A Halloween Safe- ty week, a lite-a-bike, and a bus evacuation. Other projects complet- ed by the group are: participation in the KKKKK with a float and a safety booth, a safety Christmas tree in the Chamber of Commerce Christmas Tree contest, and a play, “The Inno- cent,” on alcohol and driving abuse, for the Plattsmouth Middle school students. Because of the many projects which took the group's time and concern, the group received recog- nition from the Governor by receiv- ing a certification of appreciation. The award has shown that there can be a reward for all their work in safe- ty- SUNS rises over Plattsmouth as the Plattsmouth Chapter of SUNS spreads a little safety. SUNS members: Back row.

The group had many evi- dent accomplishments, including starting a new tradition, that of Spirit Week . This newly devel- oped spirit raiser was a contest between the four classes to see which had the most enthusiasm for PHS. The competition was judged on many different points, including decorating, skits, battle cries, and many others. The council also promoted the Sweetheart Dance, helped out with Parent-Teacher Confer- ences, remodeled the trophy cases to name a few. Not only was the year very successful for the group, but also it was a lot of fun. 98 Student Council Faculty 99 The game Board of Education From left to right: sitting are Bill Sullivan, Art Hellwig, Bill Roloff, Janice Schneider: standing are Tom Beckman, Linda Todd, Janet Cundall, Glen White.

The courses covering these veritable wonders are taught by four special men, headed up by Mr. Bob Priebe. His classes in- clude; World History II, 9th Grade Social Studies, Urban Studies and a section of Writing Lab. Jim Calder takes the next group with classes like: 9th Grade Social Studies, American History and a section of Writing Lab.

And without them, we’d have very little pride in the school. Who wants to be proud of a dirty school? The staff includes the talents of Bob Cameron, Rita Edmonds, Bud Hester, Neal Redden, Art Tesarek and Alvera Tschirren. Thanks — for a clean school and a nice place to go every day. The Feeders and Cleaners of PHS The school cafeteria workers have worked hard all year to sat- isfy the needs of teachers, stu- dents, etc. Without the help of all the workers, we would starve and not make it through the rest of the day.

It’ll never be as good as you wanted it to. Nothing is ever real- ly as good as you wanted it to be, especially when you planned it out for four years. A farewell address; a wave be- fore your chums with a tear in eye and a glass in hand. And when it comes right down to the minute, all you can say is “So Long. No one breaks out of the silence in the school song; no one pulls back the camera to give a wide angle view of your life. It is, quite simply, the end of the game. There are no winners or losers in the game, really. Uphold the rules, do everything right; and then, when it’s over, you cheat a little by trying to recapture just one more moment of it all. Now, the game is over; and as the crowd goes home, and the hall empties out, no one stands by you. For once, man is an is- land; and for once — perhaps for the first time in your life — you're really on your own. Good luck and farewell, 1980.
