OFFICE workers find their job not to easy sometimes. Answering the phone and running errands can become a drag, but working in the office can have its benefits. You get to know the school officials and teachers personally. Office work can be fun! PARTIES are a time when good friends get togeth- er to celebrate a victory, to have one last fling be- fore graduation, or just to have some fun. Parties come in all sizes and shapes, from toga parties, where people parade around in sheets, to pajama parties where girls get together, cat pizza, candy, and anything else available.

MISCHIEVOUS describes many students. Es- pecially those considered to be class clowns. Some teachers are fortunate not to have a mis- chievous person in their class, but others are not so fortunate, having to put up with all the pranks and “funnies” these students try, most of the time succeeding. NEWS contains things that were a lot different than when your mother sent you off to school. Your world was Captain Kangaroo and the kids on your block; your greatest worries, making perfect ovals and remembering your ABC’s. As you grew bigger, so did your world and your worries. It was a world in which the biggest news came from the barrel of an assassin’s gun, the attempt on the President, Ronald Reagan, has been voted the top story of 1981. It was a world that saw the Iranians get the last laugh on Carter, who hoped that he could leave office with the hostages free. It was a world that saw the first fixed-wing space vehicle, Columbia, roar into space from Cape Canaveral, Florida and land itself 54 'h hours later at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In a world that sometimes seemed too serious, you had to remember not to take yourself too seriously. After all, it was a world that still found time to smile. Opcnmg 9

Opening 11 QUIET is a students greatest virtue in the class- room according to teachers. Quietness is often experienced when that feeling of being lonely comes. No matter who you are you can exper- ience loneliness. It isn't restricted to only those who didn't get asked to the dance or to the Prom, even the most popular person in school feels to- tally alone at one time or another. RINGS are of all kinds; diamond rings, promise rings, engagement rings, and wedding rings, but to a junior or senior the class ring is the most impor- tant.
