OUR HIGH SCHOOL DAYS tribute from the Class of '79 Our high school days have come and gone, four years have passed us by. We look back to our freshman year and wonder with a slgh- How could the time have gone so fast- where could the time have run? So: We thoughtfully reminisce about our classes one by one. Our freshman year was quite the deal- INITIATION'S HERE! Each time a senior looked at us we'd cringe and shake with fear. Our sophomore year was better- our turn to look around. And watch the little freshman kids get run across the grounds! About the time our junior year looked at us in the face. We'd grown up quite a bit and started helping run this place. I still think that our senior year was just the very best. We'd let the underclassmen do the work-and we'd just rest! But really-when you think on it, we did learn quite a bit. Maybe not of Government, perhaps not even Lit. But- We learned about the friendships that keep the human race From breaking up completely, from falling on its face. Our enemies we've plenty of, our friends may be but few- But friends they are, and friends they'll stay, so this we say to you: ...Mom... Dad... Don't worry about us, we'll be all right, don't be in such a quandry! You'll probably see us every week dragging home the dirty laundry. 11 Left: Teresa Edwards - I wonder what's going to happen when we're out. Mark Miklebost - To be or not to be, that is the question. Mike Schnell - Maybe I should sing a few lines. They ARE letting us monkey's loose, what's going to happen now? 12 Juniors Looking Fine Deb Bird Dawn Bunker Brad Cassutt Tom Cassutt Phil DeCurtins Claudia Deneke Tim Malcomb Cherie Manthey The Juniors found that selling magazines was easy as they sold $1,200.00 worth of magazines.
