“Looks Like We Made It” has become the theme song for the thirty eight seniors who gradu- ated this year from Valley Park High. Although the 1980-81 school year has passed so very quickly, and the graduating seniors must be on their way; they will always cherish the memories they have gathered here. All the seniors take with them growth in knowl- edge and growth in maturity to face the unknown challenges that await them.

AND ON .... Impressive! Tremendous! Fantastic! These were a few of the words used to describe the dazzling pictures Voyager I sent back of the planet Saturn over 1 billion miles away. The twisted forms of the rings around Saturn totally amazed the scientific community. THE BEAT GOES ON .... “There’ll Be Some Changes Made” is the tune being sung in Washington D.C. Ronald Reagan won a stunning victory to become the 40th Presi- dent of the United States over incumbent Jimmy Carter and Independent John Anderson. During the campaigning prior to the election, 5 Valley Park students were chosen from a public lottery to hear President Carter at the Town Hall Meeting. The state of Missouri had some changes with Christopher “Kit” Bond winning the govenor’s race over incumbent “Walkin’ Joe” Teasdale. The voters legalized bingo and gave approval for a nu- clear power plant. AND ON .... Changes took place in Valley Park High School. The building took on a new look with new win- dows, doors, restrooms and new locker room facili- ties. The athletic program saw the addition of Girl’s Varsity and Junior Varsity Basketball, and the purchase of a Universal Gym. 3
