Top ten expands to include one more X' f- fag, 'tw f .. .. 5' Q'-f 3 'xx 1. ' 2 1 l S I 'm very happy to be graduating as valedictorian-I feel like I 've worked hard over the past four years and now it's pay- ing off Of course grades are important- they're what got me to this point, but they don 't mean everything. What is really important is the education you receive. Clark is a fine school and we have all had the best possible education available. -Lance Mandell First, let us all put to rest this notion of the existence of an air of mystique sur- rounding the top ten graduates. Instead what every student must sincerely believe is that a good education is easily attainable to anyone who demonstrates even a mod- est amount of determination and self-disci- pline. -C ung Chu Cha I found being in the top ten has been a big help when applying to colleges. It's a shame though that people feel the need to rank high school students. -Karen Westine I feel very honored to be a three year graduate in the top ten. It's a great class. I couldn 't have done it without the help of all my teachers. Thank you for giving me the chance. -Gisela Triana Three year graduate The feeling of being honored for four years of hard work is really very gratifying but the real thrill is getting to be one of the first to walk across the stage at graduation. -Julia Barton Ranked eleventh but in the top ten. You figure it out, After the real let down of being 11 th it sure was a great feeling to Hnd that I was being included in those who graduate Hrst. The hard work was worth it! -Brenda Elliott No comment. -George Hanna Being in the top I0 is not only an honor for me but also an honor I share with my family, friends, and dedicated teachers. -Patti Brogan Being in the top 10 is an honor that I shall not soon forget. I will remember for the rest of my life the feeling of achieve- ment I had while walking across the stage at graduation. -Allison Trueblood You are recognized not only by peers but by family and friends. I have a inner pride because I have accomplished what I have been working for, -Jill Koch It's a nice honor to be in the top ten but there aren't really any beneHts to be gained, except getting your diploma first at graduation. -Wendy Lane Top Ten B

Six Flags is fitting climax Trying to prove the seniors didn't lack interest in a senior trip, the senior class officers had to think of a good place and start informing everyone early. Six Flags Over Texas was chosen, because of an event known as Senior Night. Seniors Night was a night chosen in May closed to everyone except seniors. On Friday, May 14, after fourth period the seniors and their chaperones headed for Six Flags. The Shock Wave, Judge Roy Scream, and the Texas Chute Out seemed to be the more popular rides, judging by the lines. As one senior stated, I had a really great timeg even though it was tiring. l'll never forget the memories I have of the '82 senior trip.
