Looks Like We Made It! Late in August, the class of 1981 returned to Rockbridge High School for their last year. Never again would they be looked down upon as “punks”, but they would now be looked up to and admired. With their climb to the top they had earned the privileges of going to lunch five minutes early, being called to assemblies last to march in, and the respect of all the underclassmen. With the start of a new year, the routine of electing officers began. The Class of 81 elected Terry Staton as president, Scott Cullen as vice-president, and Michelle Carter as secretary-treasurer. The next task for the Seniors was a money raising project to make money for future events. Funds were raised for the Christmas Dance and the Senior 16 Senior Banquet, but the main goal was to be able to afford GRADUATION. The traditional candy sale was instigated and Seniors began carrying little white bags trading underclassmen lunch money for junk food. The Christmas Dance, along with other “sock-hops’”, helped add to the Senior treasury. In spite of the bustle of activity, time was taken to prepare for Homecoming. Terry Staton came away with the title of Homecoming Queen for 1980. Later in the year Seniors began to realize that they had actually reached the top; in jubilation they came away from several pep rallies waving the Spirit Stick and shouting “We Are the Best!”. As spring grew near the dream of graduation became a reality. Those expensive caps and gowns and announcements were ordered. Committees were formed and seating charts were arranged. Everyone began to worry and hope that everything would run smoothly. Seniors also realized that soon they would be out on their own and were constantly bombarded with questions. Are you going to college? Where? Have you sent your application? Are you going to get a job? Just what are you going to do with your life? Decisions, decisions. But they had to be made. A Career Day was held, and colleges from several states were represented to help students decide exactly which road in life they would take. Graduation finally arrived and the Class of 81 was ready to go out into the world. They felt confident of the future. They had finally made it. Me ae Scott Cullen, Vice-President; Michelle Carter, Secretary Treasurer; Terry Staton, Presi- dent of the Class of ’81.
