0 M I The class of 1980 was a unique one. Perhaps not as close in its underclass years as it should have been, the students last year at TRHS acted almost like a magnet, drawing all of the seniors together. Whether it was at pre- and post-game parties, Tower Park mornings, the senior excursion to Big Creek, or just struggling through their last year of studies at Roosevelt, the class of ' 80 had fun . . . together. The class was present in a year which also held many changes for the school. The seniors lost the freedom of self-scheduling, but gained a new salad bar! They wit- nessed the addition of freshmen to the school and the re- tirement of Mr. Gardner, Mrs. Seaver, and Mrs. Maertz, all of whom had been an integral part of Roosevelt for many years. As Roosevelt passed out of one decade into another, the seniors were there, leading the school in one united effort. Yes, it was a great class with which to begin the ' 80s!!!!

Senior board, committee chairpersons lead class; plan active year. Every class has its leaders, and the seniors of 1980 selected a group of dedicated students in October who worked hard both semesters to make their classmates ' final year at Roose- velt one they would always remem- ber. John Kalainov led the class as president and was assisted by vice- president Susan Guthrie, secretary Jill Downing, and treasurers Keith Petrak and Wynn Merryman. Due to the lack of homeroom, it was decid- ed to add eight advisors for more in- put into the decision making of the group. Jeanne Michel, Dennis Kelly, Shawn McCleran, Gordette Brown, Jennifer Mitchell, Matt Bogart, Debbie Stine and Lynda Paxton completed the board. The Senior board was aided by the chairmen of the committees who were responsible for carrying out the planned activities. Together, they made 1980 a memorable year for the graduating class.
