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

Well, there we were. It was that time of year again. Late November arrived and many freshman went into hiding, knowing well enough that there were men with guns out looking for turkeys like them. So what did your average teenager do during the November Holiday? Well, usually they did what theri parents told them! Go- ing to grandma's house has always been popular or having family and friends over. Some unlucky people ended up spending Thanksgiving alone. Freshman Andy McHadd said, It's a shame that some people have to spend Thanksgiving by them- selves. Thanksgiving Day, as usual, didn't lack the usual parades, football games, and other holiday spe- cials. Thanks to commercial advertising and net- work battles, there were several Christmas specials on the night after Thanksgiving! Junior Laura Jelenic said, I think its stupid because you don't get to enjoy Thanksgiving with networks pushing the Christmas shows on so early. So everybody had turkey on Thanksgiving. Right? Wrong! Students had everything from meatloaf to lobster newberg. Junior Diane Matzinger said, We had prime rib. Kim Van Sykle added, “We went out to eat. So ended Thanksgiving '81. Bay High students had a nice four-day weekend. After that, they had to wait about three weeks until Christmas Vacation. Christmas? My how time flies. Out of the Pool If a student was missing a few credits or just felt anx- ious to get a head start, he, of course, enrolled in sum- mer school. Greg Fife took English during the summer. Greg said, At first the thought of summer school did not appeal to me, but after I went I really began to enjoy it. Summer school also en- abled a student to graduate early. Colleen Edwards fulfilled her U. S. Govern- ment requirement for her senior year by enrolling in the program. Colleen said, “I didn't mind taking it at all and besides as a result I got to graduate early. So, if just trying to escape a heavy work load, or mak- ing up a previously failed class, or even attempting to graduate early, summer school didn't seem to be such a terrible experience. WHILE HER DAD CARVES THE TUR KEY. Karen Fosler observes. Their turkey weighed about 21 pounds. FROM 8-12 EVERY WEEK-DAY FOR SIX WEEKS. Sue Holiday took U.S. Government and Psychology. Since she was tested about twice a week. Sue had to study two hours a night. Out of Line
