When evil doers” Tempted me, You quickly closed the doors. You 've understood my feelings, And through you, I have too. And you have stood behind me. In all I wished to do. These things have meant The world to me. But soon our times will end. But you have been What I needed most; For you have been My Friend! 6 One Step Closer When school began in September 1982, u e students of Wawasee High School took our first step of many for the school year of 1982-8}. Each of us was stepping along his own path with varied interests— sports, music academic courses, vocation- al studies, or other paths. Each path had its own victories and defeats, but time did not stand still and we proceeded on, learning and preparing for the next goal of life. Along the way we encountered many friends who were preparing for the next step of life. This year was a tremen- dous one, full of joys and heartbreaks; but each day we found ourselves one step clos- er to the opportunities of life. We will always hold fond memories of Wawasee High School in our lives. Wawasee Royalty The 1982 Homecoming King and Queen candidates were very active dur- ing Homecoming week, October 4 -8. Each candidate participated in photo sessions for local newspapers and yearbook pic- tures. The candidates were nominated by their senior classmates.

Finally, on Friday, October 8, the following Homecoming King and Queen candidates walked onto the foot- ball field to await the crowning: Annette Bushong, Jennifer Darr, Krista Everts, and Laura Hole.
