“I love to have my picture taken!” — Will Moore Changes ... Past In the fall of 1978, the Class of 1981 entered Winchester High School as sophomores. Leaving the security of Lynch or McCall, we were forced to adapt to our new sur¬ roundings. To our sophomore eyes the high school was large and mys¬ terious. Finding our homeroom or the gym was quite a feat. High school also brought more responsi¬ bility and more freedom. We were allowed to attend the school dances, and have open campus, but we also had a lot more expected of us by the teachers and our parents. Junior year brought on more changes. Not only did the workload increase, but the social side of life also increased. With the newly at¬ tained driver’s license freedom was easily attainable and the weekends became much more enjoyable. There was also a serious side to our junior lives. As we took the PSAT, we were practicing for “The big one” in the spring. Grades became more important and our minds wan¬ dered to senior year and beyond. In these two years we changed tre¬ mendously from little sophomores to almost seniors. We were now pre¬ pared to become W.H.S.’s senior class. Right: Studying in the library. — Lauren Fryklund Left: Yummy, yummy — Matt Doyle 4

Changes . .. Present Although college and the future are very much on our minds, it is the present which is most important to us. As seniors our biggest change is learning to enjoy our last year as a class together. As soon as the year began, we all realized that this was our last chance to do it. We would never reunite as a class next Sep¬ tember. This is it. Now. The Present. Together we prepare for our last shot at the SAT’s, fill out college applications, look for jobs, party, laugh, and enjoy each other’s com¬ pany. Time is precious to us and we have none to waste. All the laughter and sorrow must be completed by this June. We realize that we are actually almost adults and we are almost ready to go through another passage in life, graduation. But for now, the present is ours to use and to enjoy. As we face another of life’s many changes, we must prepare ourselves to face the future. The Class of 1981 changed together, and is changing together, but the changes of the future are to be met alone. Mr. Smith’s Calculus class is always fun. — Karen Feldmann, Emily Stevens 6
