Sure kids went to school, but what happened after 3:08?, oW iff i t was up to the Individual. Whether you spent your time after the bell rang recovering in front of the TV, skiing at Brandywine, or doing a little of both, you had one thing in common with everyone else: a life away from books and classes. There were school functions to go to like Snowball and Blythe Spirit. Although they were held in the school building, they weren’t even a slight reminder of your history report or drivers' ed. test. You could also opt for a wide variety of activities that had no connection with the daily Bay High grind. Excursions to movies and restaurants were always a big success. No matter what the activity, it always seemed to fill the ever-present gap between school and sleep. 6 Student Life In the middle of going into a trance, Karen Anderson yells at other cast members of Blythe Spirit. She had to wear a hard-to-keep- on red wig for the role. Transformed Into a glitter- ing ballroom, the gym corr- idor sparkles for those who sit out the dance at Snow- ball. Students could also choose to sit at tables in the darkened gym.

FOUR YEARS Seniors rate graduation cum laud Carefully holding red carnations purchased by the senior class, Betsy Scarborough and Ann Showalter process from the bleachers to their seats on the field. After nearly 2,500 school days, the seniors of 1978 finally reached that all important day, graduation. When June fifth finally arrived, all members of the class had to participate in a rehearsal of the ceremony. Before the rehearsal started, all fines had to be paid. This rule resulted in a mad scram- ble to clear up debts. “The sen- iors aren’t about to let something like a fine keep them from gradu- ating,” said head librarian Mrs. Ella Waltz. That evening, the seniors donned their caps and gowns and took their places in line. Names were called and 368 graduates received their diplomas. Margi Brown, grand marshal for the graduation, said, “I was really caught up in the ceremony of it all. It evoked so much more emotion than I expected.” Aftergrad was held at Aqua- marine in Avon Lake. The party included swimming, dinner, and entertainment. “It was sad in a way,” explained Sue Totten. “We knew it was the last time we’d all be together.” After receiving his diploma, Bart Sulli- van flips his tassel to the left side of his cap. The students kept their paper gowns.
