The staff of the 1982-63 Down took on o particularly challenging task according to Mr. Copek. yearbook ad- visor. This year's staff is one of the most ambitious and creative we've had. They also are very good writers. They wanted to make this yearbook bigger and better with more of everything, including copy and the total number of pages. That's an awesome job considering the cost and size of our school. But we felt we could do it. How much we succeeded will be obvious to everybody who picks up a 1983 yearbook,” Mr. Capek added. Editor. Todd Porter agrees, We have talent in all areas: good photographers, writers, and artists. The Class itself is different from most in that it is not so much a textbook taught class as it is a workshop class. That is, you learn while you work, and it is a lot of fun. The entire staff of the 1983 Down worked hard to reach its goal by selling ads, writing stories, and planning pictures. The end result is presented here for all to see. Mistakes? Misspellings? Bloopers? Sure, we make mistakes, but we try hard not to, and I think we do okay for the amount of work we do. We look at other schools' books and try to learn from the mistakes they make and the success they have, said Todd Porter. Mr. Capek commented, We want this book to be something everyone will want to keep and cherish. Thot's an awesome responsibility, and I think we all fake it pretty seriously.

Life gets more complicated; instead of worrying about recess, we are concerned about Who am I going to ask to the Prom? and What am I going to do with my life? We feel almost completely independent at last (except maybe for gas money). Our destination is graduation — or we think. When we round one bend, it seems a whole new journey begins. Right now. we see our school life as a series of mechanical progressions. Each school year begins like the firin' up of an engine. Shortly after, our year picks up speed and if, like the engine is movin' out. By the end of the year, we have hit our maximum speed - Were cruisin'l ◄ Mr. Lyons, sporting his Beocot pin. introduces the Air Force Bond or on assembly program. ▼ The fans encourage Melisso Cheesmon on her comeback otter she wos sidelined by on injury.
