bicelltellllial 22 bicentgnnlal The Buy -centennial They started as early as 1974. The advertis- ers saw the Bicentennial as an opportunity to cash in on America's festive spirit. Shell Oil Company started the ball rolling with their nightly Bicentennial Minutef' Each night a great moment in American history was con- densed into sixty seconds of stars and stripes propaganda. ln ensuing months the likes of Thomas Jefferson, Paul Revere and Ben Franklin recommended products which they would have used, given the chance. Official Bicentennialw products were common. Why, there was even a Bicentennial'Christmas. If our founding fathers knew about all this they would turn over in their graves. Or would they? Perhaps this Bicentennial bandwagon is a free enterprise system's sincerest form of self-accolade. Yes friends, America's gonna give it to you just like she's been givin' it to the public for 200 years, at the same location. Ol T f .g.......v..

Red, white and blue are the colors of the day and they are evident as far as the eye can see. What will happen when the ink fades and the paint chips away? Will the sentiment remain? Perhaps. The answer to such questions can only lie within the individual - the independent spirit. c

The year 1976, the Bicentennial year, salutes Bruce Taton and Becky Farley as its Bicentennial Boy and Girl. Nine long months of work, the crying, the worrying, the senior themes and semester tests. Along with senior pictures and gradua- tion are some of the memories in every seniors mind. As well as the honors that were given to deserving people like Becky and Bruce. This year there was some speculation as to who would sponsor the special honor. The Southside Rotary Club and the Inter-Club Council of the Business and Professional Women Clubs that did sponsor this honor, decided that they would not continue the activ- ity and the USA has taken the responsibility of electing and announcing the winners. Although the Boy and Girl aren't given scholarships anymore it is still a coveted award. Becky Farley and Bruce Taton
