Hardly serving a purpose, this sign, which once stood on Fulton Street, lies wasted amidst the mud and discarded construc- tion materials near the teacher-visitor parking lot. Hoards of yellow buses from various schools around the area are aligned on the unfinished parking lot during the band contest. Rummaging through her locker in senior hall, Michele Middleton attempts to find an assignment buried amongst other pa- pers and books. Surrounding her are sen- iors Susan Etienne, Pat Goble, Cathy Conan, and Lisa Hagan. 6 Opening

THE MARCHING OF TIME A new year with its excitement and uncertainty swept up the world and, particularly, the stu- dents of TCHS as never before. As pessimistic and as turbulent as the 1970’s had begun for our country, so began the 1980’s. The power and prestige of our nation were challenged unlike any time since 1941. Within just the first month of the new decade, many of the accomplishments of the last ten years seemed to fade before our very eyes.

However, on the homefront, life continued on its course. The students seemed aware of the world’s problems, but acted some- what apathetic towards them.
