A warm exhilarating breeze came in from the lake as a small crowd be- gan to converge in the sur- roundings of Edgewater Park. Some were equipped with binoculars, some with cameras, others with picnic chairs, but all came with two common factors: curios- ity and pride. At approxi- mately 7:30 in the evening this small band of spectators applauded amongst them- selves as a single structure slowly began to increase in its luminosity from beyond the heads of the crowd. In its waxing glory, the Termi- nal Tower stood out from the blackened horizon as it was basked in a bright glow of triumph. It's much nicer to look at than the factories and the factory smoke, stated Freshman Laura Burnet. The event, which took place July 14, 1981, was originally intended to her- ald the All-Star Game, to be played in Cleveland's own Municipal Stadium. The All-Star weekend, delayed to accomodate the baseball strike, was still celebrated. The masses who had con- verged on Public Square still found reason to cele- brate and to display their pride in the city of Cleve- land. Standing at 708 feet (786 feet above Lake Erie) the Terminal Tower today is the 35th tallest building in the world, and the 20th tallest outside of New York. The flagpole which is now the broadcasting antenna for a radio station, adds on an additional sixty-five feet. When the 42nd floor obser- vation deck was opened in May of '28 the tower was the second largest building constructed on the face of the globe. Kathy Cormody comment- ed, I think that the light- ing of the Terminal Tower has done a lot for Cleve- land's image. The Terminal Tower— 17

Classy Action Fund raisers inject new life into tired class treasuries. It all started, innocently enough, last May. Homeroom teachers passed out little innoculous scraps of white pa- per with students names neatly typed on them. Ho Hum, thought the average freshman, sophomore, and junior, We've gone through the same rigamorole year in and year out. Little did they realize that this year's class officers would make a difference. The freshman class officers concerned themselves basical- ly with fund raisers. The de- mand for early morning nour- ishment prompted them to sell Amy Joy Donuts. Besides their weekly donut sale, the fresh- men officers sold Christmas wrapping paper. They made $500. Instead of their yearly Malley's Easter Candy Sale, the sophomores decided to fol- low the trend and sell candy bars to the student body. We felt that this fund raiser would —T Keane BEFORE THEIR MORNING DOUGH- NUT SALE, the freshman class of officers call a hurried meet- ing with their adviser. Mrs. Calmus.

Once more, prom prepara- tions began a year early. As usual, the juniors ran a maga- zine drive as their last major fund raiser for the big night at the end of their senior year. Traditionally, the senior class has tons of things to do: activities to choose, plan, and oversee. Cindy Griffiths ex- plained, Last year the officers decided to hold prom at DeLuca's Place in the Park which left us to choose the band and caterer this year. That was fun because we all went downtown to the Cleve- land Connection to listen to ‘Laugh in the Dark' . IN ORDER TO PASS OUT THE PRIZES IN HOMEROOM, the junior class officers hold a special meeting to sort through the shipment from the magazine company. Class Officers

The Stops Buck Here Money! Various clubs and sports organizations tried to obtain it, but it wasn't al- ways easy. The Varsity Cheerleaders had a clinic for young children to learn cheerleading skills during the summer. Stephanie Bunten said, We got mon- ey to pay for new varsity jackets and to send the Ju- nior Varsity Cheerleaders to camp. The Science Club mem- bers were busy selling can- dy bars, September thru No- vember, to students for 50$. Dave Ward explained, After the first two bags, the money was placed in our own individual accounts and used for field trips. Among other products that were sold for group funds, were wrapping pa- per, cheese and poinsettias. Mark Lowrie, president of the freshman class, confid- ed, The freshmen had no money at all. We had to sell wrapping paper for ac- tivities such as dances and for our future high school years. The Marching Band sold cheese, sausage and poin- settias. Freshman, Ted Hoesman said, If you sold ten dollars worth of poinset- tias or cheese, the money goes toward a personal ac- count which is for trips to Contest. Building a model Space Shuttle was an easy physics project for Marjean Taylor. Plagued by mechanical mishaps, the 10 billion dol- lar NASA Space Shuttle Program earned both ap- plause and criticism. The first test flight almost ended in total disaster when an unexpected shock wave caused near destruction of the control flaps of the shut- tle.
