Y...K3-Ldv is lu, your two day vacation . Whether it be a game, party, or a big date , we usually had our plans made no later than Wednesday afternoon. To take our school year apart piece by piece and try to put it back without some sort of break could never be complete. Weekends or holidays or just having a class cut by fifteen minutes were a major part of our school year. Kristi Webb The Campus Life assembly was very inspirational and made me realize what heros are all about.

Byron Barber Junior il .Q The theme of the Supreme was uni- que and I think that's why more peo- ple participated. Also, having it at the Granada Hometel was very beautiful which helped make it more special.

Monday nights at the drive-in would have to wait until summer rolled around again. We were now faced with more immediate activities such as homework, cramming for a test for 8 Student Life not cramminglj, and an 8:40-3:35 day. We tried every way possible to get out of class, meeting failure face to face many times. We all believed in the saying that, lf at first you don't suc- ceed, try try again, so we did. When you just couldn't think of a convincing reason to get out of class, you could always hope for an assembly. Morning pep rallies and club meetings were enough at firsti but as the year progressed, we need- ed other ways out , The talent show, choir performances, and class. meetings were among the favorites but the annual Campus Life assembly prevailed above all others. Those ever-so-important, weekends were what really kept us. going. lt was often amusing to seel how much fun you could cram intol

i With all the activities going on at Clark we some- times forget the true meaning of a homecoming. 1981 graduates Susie Peele, Monica Strohmeyer, Debbie Doten, and Terry Follis return to Clark to wish the Cougars good luck in their game against Holmes. 10 Spirit Week ASH. Last minute lt was not exactly our homecoming in the sense of the word, but as a senior, homecoming not only seemed to be cen- tered around us, but it also brought me closer to the reality of graduation. As l saw fellow classmates out on the field for the crowning of Homecoming King and Queen, it made me realize that this was it! From now on, we would be the ones coming home. One thing that l thought was notable of our class was our excellent, not to mention devious, strategy. Of course we postponed everything until the last possible minute, sis U-L ,.,,,, plan works but it's the results that count. The gaping mouths from members of the junior class when they saw our chain and spirit wall was worth every bit of the hard, last min- ute work. I have to admit there were some doubts, for we barely pulled off our last minute plan. But senior power prevailec and with a whopping comeback of 626 links and a very imaginative wall, the sen iors swept a first place from every contest. I guess it's only fair to say that the juniors almost won, for they lost by only 19 links but we all know that almost only counts in three things! Dawn Phinney
