MkKING TlfSKE Making time is hard work! When the Class of ’82 entered our hallowed halls 239 strong, the halls suddenly became packed. The other 344 of us found passing between classes a real hazard. At noon, even though they were divided in half, the lunch lines were an endurance test. The lunch had been shortened and more peo- ple than ever ate in the cafeteria, which featured a new menu of Landshire Sand- wiches, fries, milkshakes, cakes, and pies. The problem of how to work in enough time for study and after-school jobs did not change, nor did the conflict between football practice and tests or Barker dead- lines and semester exams. There were still those few who failed to set the alarm in time to get to school before 8:15 a m., and the same group was late every day for sixth hour class. Tempus fugit!

C UA Growing bigger, growing better! The change in our town and lifestyle has been a matter of changing through rearranging Ten years ago, Northtown Center was a field of weeds, now replaced by Kentucky Fried Chicken, Hils, and Sparta Square Most recently. Sonic, a drive-in with wait- resses on skates, and Grease, the year's most popular movie, made the rebirth of the fifties a reality. Disco influenced our mode of dress — silk shirts, satin pants, dip dresses, and vested suits. In education, the distric opened its K-4 Building, located directly behind SHS. And, on June 1, 163 seniors faced another change — graduation, a time for rearranging lives and priorities.
