Solitude. Many students, including this one, found the library a frequent stomping ground. Resources were used for studying, or just passing a free hour. DDDDouble VVVVision. Warriors invaded the gym not only as people, but also as a beautiful mural. This striking mascot resulted from much hard work , ach day an exclamation No other school could take the word certainly and have it mean the same thing it does here. All 2,400 of us went through a year, and in some cases two, of hearing that word used over the p.a., at convocations, and even at football games. It became an obsession with some, while others just smiled whenever it was spoken. It was always spoken with pride, and it became a part of student life; it became a part of you. Whether you supported the 7-3 varsity football team with the motto “Another One Bites the Dust”, a popular song title by Queen, or spent tireless hours studying to make decent grades, the year was an exclamation. We held our breaths as we watched the struggle to light the homecoming bonfire and as we hoped the band would take top honors at Terre Haute, missing fifth place by one point, the highest rating ever by a Warrior band.

year fall of changes After the flaming bonfire died down and the excitement of the band contest faded, we discovered that Warren provided many more oppor- tunities than we realized. A new concept in school personalization brought about the Challenge Education program. Enabling over 200 students to get involved during its first year, the program aimed to eventually let every student at Warren be paired up with a faculty advisor. Along with this and many more opportunities came changes. As soon as winter break ended, and school resumed, 150 stude nts began to work diligently on “Hello, Dolly!”, the last musical production C. E. Eash auditorium would house. At the end of the 1981 school year, a work crew would begin the renovation for the new music wing. Another point of change aimed to provide better service for physically handicapped students. The construction of an elevator brought a unique opportunity for art students to publicize the three one-act plays. The music wing and elevator being changes for the better, some community members thought a change for the worse took place. The 1980-81 school year was the last time Woodview Junior High School would be used. After much deliberation, the school board made the final decision to close the junior high, formerly Warren Central, due to expense and declining enrollment. Wherever we looked, we saw opportunities and changes. We were lucky to have so much going for us. When an outsider would ask about our school, we were fortunate to be able to say, “ Certainly !” Faces in the fire. Adding to the excitement of the week’s festivities, a homecoming crowd gathered to spark some enthusiasm for the upcoming game. 4 Certainly! Opening
