Their Senior year has always been a special one for students everywhere. SHS's class of 80 was no exception. With the advent of the school year last fall, the brand new seniors were riding on cloud nine and with a good reason: they were the Class of 80. However, as the year progressed, seniors soon came down to earth. Before graduation several things had to be taken care of ... SAT tests taken, delinquent fees paid, transcripts sent to colleges, and an- nouncements and cap and gowns ordered. Toward the latter part of the year, seniors finally began to realize that this was it. Life would never be the same. Some would be going off to college as 64% did in 79, others would be going to Tech schools as did 14% and perhaps some would go into the military. Whatever their plans, most seniors will look back in the senior year as one of their most memorable. Being measured for her cap and gown is one very pleasant task for Senior Delores Jeter. After picking up her senior key, Susan Denton realizes that May 30. 1980 is not far away. As Seniors gather in the lounge, the conversation frequently turns to Graduation. Graduation 25
