It freezes in time the memories of events which occurred. The 1981 BLUE LETTER is no different. Our goal is to cover, with expressive pictures, a wide variety of activities which are special to students attending this school.

Much had to be accomplished in this, our last year of high school. For those of us who planned on go­ ing to college, the right school had to be chosen; for others, moving into the job market after graduation was our goal. But while we were still here in high school, we made the most of our rank as seniors and enjoyed ourselves. Before we knew it, graduation was here and we were soon going our separate ways.

As a time of living and learning.

It is times like this that we will reflect

On the people that helped us through,

And at these times we will think of you.

108 Despite the long hours of homework, midterms, and final exams, and even boring classes, we’ve all managed to make it through the year. Now it’s time to look back on the good times we’ve had and will remember always. We realize we’ve learned a lot in and out of school, and maybe, in spite of ourselves, even developed respect for many of our teachers. Perhaps the academic side of this year wasn’t so bad after all!
