It's been great being one of Clark's first four year graduates! We, as Freshmen, thought we had it so easy, since there were no seniors to boss us around. You could pretty well say that everyone that first year walked around with their heads up in the air, donit get me wrong, no one was stuck- up we were just looking at the room numbers above the doorways. No one knew where in the world they were go- ing, and yes our respectable teachers were caught bumping in to walls also. As sophomores, we watched the new seniors try to set up traditions, it was hard for them and they didn't always succeed. Our class knew it was up to us to carry out and make up unforgettable traditions of our own, since we would be the only ones there to see them all the way through. Junior year was fun and went by real fast. Everyone was welli established and Clark had an excellent reputation throughout the city. All organizations, teams, and clubs were the best or very close to it. Now as seniors we wonder where the time has gone. Getting close to gradua- tion, we all look back on the good times we've had at Clark, and I know all of the memories will be stored in a special place in our minds. It's been interesting watching Clark grow and I think the Seniors of '82 contributed in it's crucial growth. We think we've done an excep- tional job and believe we are the first class to truly say, Tom C. Clark was our high school!

Perfection sought through hobbies We always did our best 0 ur hang-ups were creative and wide- ranged. Our hobbies allowed us to ex- cel in whatever we were interested. This was our chance to strut our stuff. When we were doing what we did best, we could forget about school and any worries we had. Maybe it took the form of escape. Escape from anything or anyone that IfI am not at H.E.B. working, I. . . distressed us. Whether it was escape or not, we did not careg we did what pleased us most because this time was ours to spend and to spend it the best way we knew how. I spend most of my spare time at Campus Life, LUG, movies, visiting friends, and Robert Corte's, said junior Dene Granata. When we were doing our thing all our anxieties were forgotten and we did only what pleased us most. senior Becky Kramer said, If I'm not at H.E.B. working, I usually go out on a date or go partying with my friends. And no one could intervene and try to tell us what we liked because no one knew better than ourselves. -Teresa Griffui Taekwondo and hapkido means relaxation to me. It is just like any other sport.

ZX fl HSE sv, I nflation-a rise in prices meaning a flattening of wallets. Money, money, money! Everyone wanted it but few had it. With all the needs each of us seemed to have, we had to find a way to obtain them other than Mom and Dad. A popular way to accom- modate our needs was through part- time jobs. lt wasn't always the easiest or most enjoyable, but come Friday andfor Saturday we sure were glad to have a few bucks back in the old wallet. Weekends definitely had a big ef- fect on our pockets. Entertainment, which we all felt was essential, claim- ed most of our dollars by way of movies, dates, or restaurants. Shop- ping malls and various forms of music, not to mention service sta- tions, were also largely responsible for stealing our hard earned dollars. Advertising played an important part in the way we spent our money. We were easily presuaded
