In the drama of life, November is when they change the scenery without bringing down the curtain. Prepara- tion forthe next act goes on in front of everyone. The brilliant autumn colors soon fade into drab browns and greys. The old year is dying. The work of summer is finished and winter's stillness has yet to come. While the stage was changing, students were making plans. Some were involved in wrestling, gymnastics and basketball. Rl-IOREA failed to meet its second deadline. The newspaper staff struggled to keep from falling apart, but the debaters rededicated themselves to winning. Others found activities that took little effort and got little accomplished. .

A strange mood, inspired perhaps by the cloudy days, settled over much of the student body. We had an all-school awards assembly to recognize outstanding students. A nationally ranked debate squad, WCKL champion girl 's tennis team. WCKL co-champion football team. Did the student body care? Not much, if at all. Why? Were they questioning the relevance of it all? Did they have other priorities? Or was it the same attitude they had towards the recent elections: Nikon or McGovern ? I wouldn't trust either one of them to deliver my mail. What difference does all that make to me? For some. being located near two large game preserves was all-important. Getting up early . . . oh, so early! Stumbling around in the dark and trying to sound like ducks. Did you notice the mangled ducks on the school grounds ? They were there.

Sophomore Donna Dolezal prepares for the coming gymnastics meet with Nickerson. Senior Lois Swartz and Juniors Jane Replogle, Cathy Reiser and Brenda Ming leave the halls of G.B.I-LS. to go their own ways. Junior Craig Fabin and Mr. Emerson MacDonald clear the set after a re- warding Junior Class Play, Senior Steve Hilton and Coach Charliey Gowdy demonstrate to potential state champions one of the various maneuvers involved in wrestling. The class of '74 illustrat- ed their individuality by selecting a unique class ring which will be held dear forever. Thanksgiving still meant turkey for most students and for the Dolezal family it was everyone around the table as mother carved the bird.
