We will be young adults, looking for our own space in the world and trying to make a name for ourselves. However, when we leave the school, we will take a part of the school away with us. We will also leave a part of us here; perhaps we would have excelled in athletics or academics, or just carved our initials in a seat, but we will leave something that says, “I was here.” In the pages of the yearbook, the staff had a goal — to represent the space we were feeling and searching for in the 1978-79 school year; the space that was for each to say, “I was here. Hopefully, we have honestly represented the entire student body of TCHS, so that in the future, we can look back and say, This was all of us — all different, all the same, but all as one, looking for space, on the road of experience.

IN WITH THE NEW The sounds of pounding and bulldozers, crowded hallways, and plenty of dust were all a big part of the 1978-79 school year for one reason — construction. After the ground breaking ceremony of December 15, 1978, construction of the new high school became a part of school life. Despite some unfortunate delays caused by a carpenters’ strike and some bad weather, construction was soon well under way. It was not unusual for classes to be interupted by the sound of jackhammers or for certain routes to be closed resulting in overcrowded halls and chaos. The remodeling of the old building was scheduled to be ninety-five percent complete when classes began again in late August of 1979. The completion date for the whole ten million dollar project is set for June of 1980. — John Sidle A bulldozer demolishes an unneed- ed wall to make room for the new bandroom. 6 CONSTRUCTION
