.... Wyo. Comes Of Age .-'A’A The 80’s are over. Wyomissing and West Reading students have been going to school together for 20 years. We’ve seen Live-Aid, space shuttles, Chernobyl, and a new era of East-West relations. But through it all, Colophon was there, recording the lives of the students attending our school. As we bid farewell to a decade in which so many of us have matured, the 1990 Colophon offers a last look at the Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School of the 1980’s.

We don’t have to / worry about derivatives. Newton’s Laws, the Trojan War, 1 or run-on sentences. We can spend our time however we like.

Tough Guys I How does such a small student body make up such an J incredible sports program? Perhaps no one will ever know, but we all know that Wyomissing teams are consistently at 1. the top of their leagues. To strive for excellence has always been a part of Wyomissing athletics.

We all have fallen prey to those enticing lures of the science department at least once during our high school careers. On the other hand, where else is it actually allowed to cut up dead cats, to throw objects off of the school, or to “poison” entire class- rooms? The largest of all the high | school’s departments, the science department boasts many of the school’s finest academic achieve­ ments. With a well educated staff that sports their own fashionable lab coats, Wyomissing verily has a science department that is head, shoulders, frogs, cats, acids, and lab coats above the rest. lr £> -J ■ci M ljk-.s /■ 4 26
