Tomorrows The class of '79 brought forth wild imaginations, cheery smiles, and many accomplishments which im- pressed us all. As freshmen, they brought 35 new faces to the high school. They were the first spirited fresnman. The class, under Greg, brought in $190 with a movie bake sale. Headed by Anita, the sophomore year went as well. Another successful movie magazine drive brought the treasury to $730. Then came the year of leadership (Jr.) in which they sold candles with a great profit of $387.75. The class was ready to give an outstanding prom. In sports many high hon- ors and honorable mentions were received by those teen-age sports fanatics. The stuco members for the junior class were Anita Lictinhan-class pres., Linda Repinic-pep club pres., Lori Langvardt- class rep. They worked hard during the year; even through lunch period they stayed at work while gob- bling down their food. Miss Satterlee states, The class is onry, but it can brag of having some of the most intellegent people in the school. Coach Bortnick considers the ju- niors a class full of great athletic and scholastic po- tential. 1st row: Tony Asbury, Alex Baca. 2nd row: Greg Bantugan, Sophie Brawner, Suzanne Brawner, Diane Briestensky. 3rd row: Susan Gold, Patty Hall, Diane Hecker, Judy Keating. The junior class has al- ways been a large group (35). Yet we all know that means more fun, more bad jokes to laugh at, and more dates; so, you can believe being the big class makes them SPECIAL. 10

Every senior class has had a distinct personality. 1977's was a large, noisy family; 19761 s was capa- ble and efficient. Most of this year's seniors were levelheaded and mature — not quite the type to be driven to suicide by a bas- ketball loss. A few were very in- volved in school affairs; they were present at every game, rally, meeting, donut sale, cake raffle and car wash. Many others felt that their jobs and out-of- school social lives were more important. They sometimes spent as little as three hours a day in school and, as one senior half-seriously said, This world ain't nothing without money; and you can't make money playing basket- ball.' At first this con- flict of interests caused some hard feelings, but in time they disappeared. Because of snort school days, jobs, and a general- ly mature outlook, most of tne seniors were ready and even impatient to face the outside world. However, no matter how we 11-pre- pared for graduation the class of '78 professed to be, they were still a lit- tle sad at leaving. As Danny McGuire put it You can't just forget twelve years of being together. The class of '78 always had a bad reputation. But 12 in the 8th grade they reached an all time low (or high, depending on one's point of view). They liter- ally ran over a teacner on the way to gym, arranged for a trash can to fall on the principal's head, and were skilled in crawling out of study hall unnoticed by the teacher. But by Senior year they were more interested in graduation than in adding to their tarnished record.
