The only way to go was by point average which was computed at the end of the first semester. It must be finalized then because of record keeping and college and graduation plans. The honorary title of Valedictorian was earned by William Hoover, who not only got a 4.0 but spent a great deal of time in the music room. Bill greatly contributed to Acapella and the New Tomorrows. Second in line to Bill, was Salutotorian, Sonia Granchi. Although Sonia was in COE, she found time to participate in extracurricular activities. Golf and softball took up a large amount of her time, as did playing trombone and flute in bond. Other members of the vocational blocks were Iayne Brantingham, a secretary in COE and band member: and Desiree Sayers, Vice President of Senior Accounting and a four year softball player. Cindy Loudon and Mark Liberatore spend much of their time down in the band room practicing her clarinet and his saxophone. Susan Iohnson's beautiful voice made her the star in Grease and The Sound of Music. At school she was active in the New Tomorrow's and Acapella. Besides their academic achievements, Howard Plevyak and Rex Pelto are involved in Interact Club and football. Dorian DuPlain played basketball while Tom Sprockett, Robert Blake, and Michael Bugganer's great love was baseball: Tom served as President of National Honor Society, Mike played golf, and Bob played basketball. Robert Hart was sports editor of the Observer and Karen Busko did girls sports for the Aurora. Bob also participated in basketball and Interact Club, and Karen was involved in all girls sports. Lana Santti spent much time with swimming, tennis, and Student Senate. Mark Ancell concentrated on his studies and outside activities. Many of these students had outside jobs and all plan to further their education after high school. ws...

Q N X l ' fr Hopping in the heat Beginning August 3rd the Raider Band started its annual summer practice. The hot weather and bright sun failed to inspire enthusiasm for the band members and their goal of August the 27th, the Warren Band Night, seemed ages away. But with determination, pride, and much imstruction from directors Mr. Gary Hoffman and Mr. Ken Young, the bond members marched on. At 8:00 in the morning mass confusion prevailed, but when Mr. Hoffman's whistle blew there was instant organization. Band members quickly rose to the sound of blasting tubas and trumpets, wondering What's a nice person like me doing in a place like this? By 10:00, the hot sun was beating Stacey Foster monkeys around at Willow Lake at the annual picnic. Flutes-Front Row: Tristy Nye, Colleen Bliss, Cindy Abel, Diane Sieple.

Organizations Majorettes practice in the heat. down and dreams of Farmer Iim's, Willow Lake, Olympic Club, or any other means of cooling off danced through everyone's mind. Noon seemed to take forever, but at last freedom. Hot and humid weather did not always last. At times, the humidity turned to a downpour and the idea of band seemed all wet. Many newcomers did not realize what a strain band can be. Mr. Hoffman's goal for perfection seemed impossible especially for the freshmen trying to learn the basic skills. At times much friction and inflamed tempers were evident. But their excellent performance at Band Night and the annual summer band picnic held August 21, 1981 at Willow Lake cooled everyone off.
