Putting The Present With The Past Our present life cannot be well pre- sented without first taking a look back at our past. The 1960's marked our beginnings in life. Most of us were born in 1965, 1966 and 1967. We entered the world at the time man first flew in space. In 1969 the first astronaut walked in space. The population of the United States was growing and we, the Classes of 1984 and 1985, contri- buted to that growth. We came out of an era of the Vietnam War, of equal rights movements, the first heart trans- plants, and also at a time when many people were beginning to worry about our natural resources and conserving energy for the future. We were the children of the 196O,s and 1970's. Today we are the teenagers of the 1980's. We are the future of tomor- Spending the day at Springlake at the end of the 1980 school year are Marsha Crawford, Candle Pitt- man, Sherri Staples, Shelly Lane, Davita Crowe, Steve Lindstrom and Chris Baker. Wearing Christmas bows in her hair is Rhonda Brown who, with Deb- bie Wise, is eating lunch during the 1979 school year. 8 Student Life row. We have watched freedom come to fifty-two Americans held hostage for 444 days in Tehran, lran. We have lived through the assassination at- tempt on two U.S. presidents and the assassination of many important peo- ple. We have watched history being made when the first woman was ap- pointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. We have watched our government live through scandel and overcome it. And we watched with excitement when Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, married Lady Diana Spencer. We watched with pride and hope when the Columbia blazed into the sky last April, 1981, marking the world's first space shuttle. The year 1982 brings the 75th An- niversary to Oklahoma. Today, as yes- terday, we are in an era of certain fads and fashions such as Pac Man, an elec- tronic game, alligator shirts and sweat- ers, polo shirts, headbands, the metal- lic look, the fitness craze, designer clothes, designer chocolates, jellybel- lys, 3-D glasses, Superman Il, Brooke Shields, Miss Piggy and Kermit, and even the twenty-cent stamp. Our government leaders inform us we are in a recession and inflation is sky high. Many of us feel the effects of this on our pocketbooks. We are the future and yet we must always remem- ber the past. We look ahead with hope and treasure each moment of the pre- sent. Also we will be well-guided by the past, for we are the Classes of 1984 and 1985.
