The 3:00 P.M. stampede docs not always mean rush. For some students it is get- ting to see their friends and discussing the night's events. This spot is used of- ten by students that gather in the park- ing lot after school. Photo by Anne Cordts. Going their own ways, Dave Tasker and Mike Pcgg head to their buses, while Dave Loar hurries to cross country practice. These guys arc a few of the students that gather in the parking lot after school. Photo by Anne Cordts. Falling into GPlace Calling home for taxi service, Rick Brown waits patiently for an answer. After school the telephone is surround- ed by students waiting for a chance to call home. If you are not there at 3:07, the crowd has already formed, and it is almost impossible to get to the phone.

Just a few announcements before the closing of school.” By the time Vice Princi- pal Thompson's voice blasted over the PA, most students had their books in their arms and were ready to dash for the door. Kids raced to their lockers to grab their wind- breakers and spiral note- books. Alice Wolford took the drill team steps two at a time so that she could meet Shon Brodie before he hurried off to cross country practice. On the third floor east wing, Todd Davis gave his “homework” yell (as he did at the close of every school day). “What do we have for Spanish? Hey, Leslie, did you do your English? Good, give it to me. Club joiners rushed through the corridors, find- ing it difficult to get to so many meetings, often scheduled against each other. Jocks headed to the field house and then on to the football and soccer practice fields. But not everyone hung around the building. Ju- nior Carla Rase raced home to Mt. Pleasant Street and Donna Walker boarded her bus for Wrights Crossing. And although they missed the first 15 minutes of General Hospi- tal. they still seemed to be able to keep up with the antics of Luke and Laura and to find out if Heather really did kill Diana Tay- lor. Andy Wolodkin walked toward Hardees to report for work; Sally Moore, and her younger brother Dave, headed for Cinema 1-2-3 to clean the theaters; and Chris Tyler drove to Maplehurst Country Club where she worked in the pro shop. Some teachers stayed on beyond the rush either to coach or to help with extra curricular activities. Others hurried home to pop spareribs in the oven, to cut the lawn, or to moonlight at a part-time job. No matter where they hurried to, 3:00 P.M. meant relief. After a tough day, Michelle Skidmor. decides to buy a coke and relax befort going to a Pep Club meeting. As she puts her money in. she notices the lonf line forming behind her. Students mot the coke machines in front of the junior high at the end of the day before goinf to their buses. Photo by Bill Donahut — 3:00 P.M. Stampede

’Falling into f Placc----- Calling all the Shots 44 FI rew, we did it!” was John Taylor’s re- action as he heard the re- sults of the Student Council election. And then it was on to celebrating for the new- ly-elected John Taylor and Greg Duncan. They ar- ranged several get-togethers and partied and partied and partied. No one knew quite what would happen with the two well-known jok- ers. but they dug right in and went to work. At the end of the sum- mer, John and Greg be- gan negotiating with the cheerleaders. Greg trad- ed the first junior high dance for the Welcome Back” signs, and this trade- off was the first of a working relationship be- tween the two groups. Student Council helped the cheerleaders with the Halloween Dance, the Hor- ror Hole, the bonfire, and the homecoming. In October the officers organized the annual Talent Show. They supervised auditions and then prac- ticed with the contestants for a week. Seventh grader Stephanie Davies re- ceived $25 for first place; Leticia Shelton, $10 for second place; and Tim Crowe, $5 for third place. Student Council put the new B-Club points sys- tem into effect. A stu- dent has to accumulate 1,100 for a B ; 1,600 for a B-Bar; 2,100 for a B- Double Bar; 2,600 for a B-Triple Bar, and 3,100 for a B-Star. A productive year. That’s how most of the student body felt about their elect- ed leaders’ accomplish- ments. Afler collecting money from the stu- dent body.
