Toma, Toma. Toma! The sound echoed through the halls. A new kind of party? Or maybe some rock group? Not exactly. David Toma, an undercover narcotic agent and ex-drug addict, was invited to the High School by the P.T.A. in hopes of awakening the stu- dents and community to the effects of drugs. His impact, at least on the students, was phenomenal. As senior Mike Zailar commented, He ' s the only person I know of who could keep the entire student bodies of the Middle and High schools quiet for two hours. After the assembly, Toma spent the day in private consul- tation with students. The office corridor became all but impassable as students packed themselves into the line which would eventually bring them face-to-face with the hero of the day. Toma was the best thing that ever hap- pened to this school, but the effects wore off, commented Beth Hoffman. Something should have been done to rein- force his ideas. The Toma assembly, however, was not the only notable break i n the daily routine. Pep assemblies, though not as numerous as in past years, were welcomed by most students. Even though we only had two fall pep rallies this year, they really got spirits up and helped the teams ' morales, explained Bill Abbott. Another unique assembly brought five hundred stu- dents from neighboring schools and TV cameras to the west gym. The assembly, paid for by Josten ' s, was designed to promote student leadership. Robin Hoffman, who acted as a hostess, stated, They had some good ideas, but a lot of it wasn ' t really relevant to Bay High. Altogether, anyone would have admitted that being herded into the gym like cows was infi- nitely superior to sitting through their third period class. After his speech, David Toma welcomes students to see him and receive autographs. Toma made two speeches, one to students and one to the parents in the evening. For both, he was given a standing ovation. nf lit ' m: ' . . . The only person who could keep the entire student bodies of the Middle and High Schools quiet for two hours. 24. Student Life

Interstate Hallways When the between class bell rang, the hallways filled with students of all shapes and sizes. A familiar sight in the hallways were the dedicated students, who rushed to class dodging the dawdlers who plugged the hallway system. An in- depth study of the rusher showed that he had no time for socializing, but had to get from point A to B in the shortest time possible. The dawdler, on the other hand, took six minutes to reach class in the four minutes alloted. This group includ- ed those hanging around lockers talking and the neckers who situated themselves at the busiest intersections. The halls were continuously from the janitors arrival at 6:30 a.m., to the time the athletes completed their last lap in the empty corridors. Before school. Jeff Bush shows Jim Scoby and Tom Henley his class project for architectural seminar. The project takes 6 weeks to complete and counts for four grades. In between class, students shuffle down the office corridor stairs to their next class. After hours, track members run up and down the stairs to develop quickness. To wish fellow basketball teammate, Karen Boccia, good luck. Kate Thilo signs her Hustle sign. At the Olmsted Falls game. Karen scored 14 points, the highest ever for a J.V. player. 26-
