First class completes c cle After the abandon- ment of the original Tokay High campus, students were directed to attend the new Tokay High's modern facilities for the 1977- 1978 school year. Consequently, the new Tokay High became home for its first freshman class, which this year com- pleted four full years on the new campus. Sentimental memor- ies of the old Tokay High Campus lLodi 300 High from 1912 to 197 71 no longer fill the minds of a graduating Tokay class. Instead, memories are of long walks to class, once new buildings which show signs of having been lived in, an ever- more attractively lan- dscaped campus, and suddenly sprouting portables. Future classes will forget old Tokay and see there only an unexplained Lodi landmark, not years of memories.

Editors offer solution Modern yearbooks are a recorded history of that par- ticular year, compiled and edited by a group of students who choose to devote a large measure of time and talent for over a year to that unique project. How did it happen? In anticipation of the close of the book's production cycle, the TOKAY staff direc- ted positive attitudes toward pulling together and beating that last deadline. After finishing their own assign- ments, staff memberes con- tributed to those who still needed assistance, con- tributing the time and effort 302 needed to create as com' petent, interesting, and en- joyable a 1981 TOKAY as possible. The editors hereby express their thanks to teachers, ad' ministrators, counselors, coaches, office personnel, and the student body for helping answer the 1981 question -- HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? Good-bye, Mr. Field.
