To succeed in their quest, everyone, es- pecially students, had to pitch in. That meant cooperation, determination and organization. That meant Laying it on the Line. On only the second day of school, Sept. 1, students were assembled and asked to help support the cause''. Encouragement included lighter home- work loads and prizes. The main ob- jective of the campaign was to show the community that students cared about their future at Bay High, which was beginning to look dim. Student committees worked side by side with the adult Blue Ribbon Committee to support the theme Keep Our Town a Winner . Activi- ties included a yardsign contest, a party in the park, which included a 5.5 mile run, and a door-to-door dis- tribution of levy support literature. To bring the message home, the marching band led representatives from all teams and clubs in a parade through the city, a final attempt to change some minds on the levy situa- tion. The fishing line was baited and set. What was the catch? They only had to wait. ’—Laying it on the Line AT THE PARTY IN THE PARK.
