ll 1 lIQDll 16 BY: LEAH SELLS Finally, at long last, it arrived . . . 1980! OUR year. It marked the beginning of a decade and the end of our high school careers. As seniors, we were just beginning to realize the important role school played in our lives. It filled our days and more often than not, our nights. Many of us had gone through the entire 12 years together. From the Candy Land games, birthday parties, kissing tag, and first loves, right up to basketball games, keg parties, proms, and engagements. Certainly the majority of us spent those memorable last 4 years together! The class of 1980. We were definitely unique. We handled things with our special style, leaving our mark on Silver Creek. Hard as it is to believe, we were once known as those awful little creatures-greenies. Yes we were freshmen, but even burdened with that title, we came shining through the year with no permanent scars. Every cloud has a silver lining and so did we. We were the first group of Freshmen in a long while to be awarded the Best Decorated Float Award in the Booster Parade. With that first big year in high school came the worst Kentuckian winter in history. Our area temperature hit a record low of -130 and we missed 18 days of school in January alone! Foot Hill and St. Joe Hill became much frequented spots as the snow mounted and the temperatures dropped. The Varsity Basketball Team produced a real tear-jerker at the 1977 Madison Sectional. As freshmen, we were highly excited while we followed our team to our first sectional, only to be bitterly disappointed with a 2 point loss: S.C. 45, Southwestern 47. On the other hand, our boys on the Freshman A team came through the year undefeated. We showed superiority in women as Angie Carpenter set two new records, one in the long jump with a 16'7 leap and one in the 100 yard dash. Angie also earned the title of Most Valuable Player on the Girl's Track Team. Susan Grayson wasn't sitting around either. She broke the 220 yard dash record. Another freshman captured MVP also: Jon Hendren was a busy little linksman and he received the honor on the Golf Team. Not a bad year for a batch of wet-behind-the-ears greenies. Our sophomore year brought another first at S.C.: a theater club to produce all-school plays. This ap- peared to be a good idea and we gave our support as sophomores Missy Beyl, Carol Guernsey, Lana Sells, Leah Sells, 2 and Therese Warren performed in the premier play Hawkshaw the Deter- tive. Speaking of performing re- member Mr. Mosley's 1978 talent show? We showed off our stuff and let 1 the Creekers see how multi-faceted and talented the '80 people were. Therese Warren presented her - self-taught ability to play guitar, write 0 songs and music, and sing to everyone: Scott Crawford and Roger Killen were the instigators of the rock 'n roll; performance with Scott on the drums and Roger on electric guitar; Charliell Koehler really wowed the crowd with 1 his spectacular drum solo; and Jon'v Hendren displayed a fun-loving spirit, a little talent, and a lot of guts as he appeared with the punk rock group The Babies clad in, what else? 1 Diapers! He soon Changed to a warner costume though, as the temperature . dropped and once again we fell into; a record setting winter. This time the record was for snow, 50.3 inches of it; 1, to be exact. 21 days of school were! cancelled for the snow and a near crisislS , . . the Kentucky coal strike! With theljl snow came the favorite sledding sites and the mysterious snow shark. No one seemed to know exactly where he came froml or how he ended up in the courtyards of S.C., but he made his appearance time and again baffling us all. Warmer weather brought those unforgettable trips to Actor's Theatre with the even more notable dinners at Kingfish! Several additions to the S.C. roster were made in 1978: a Chess Club, a Girl's Softball Team, and a trip to Canada for the French Club. The French Club also introduced Silver Creek to a little romantic French culture with a French wedding com- plete with sophomore Lana Sells who doubled as director and Bridesmaid. The Spaniards weren't i connnued on p.33
