Three art students, Gari Brant, Mike Vaughn, and Terry Halev, work rapidly to finish the Christmas decorations for the halls. Activities such as this emphasize the students’ participation in outside interests. Action is the basic characteristic of the “Story of the Year,” as it is an important one in the formation of “Spirit of ’76.” Action, however, is not accom- plished by a single movement at a single time; many are blended to create such memories as the Prom, Homecoming, Washington trip, and graduation. Stu- dents will remember the exciting events at Christ- mas, the fall and senior plays, and Association Week. But these are not all the things that happened — each one of the “characters” of the “Story of the Year” will remember individual happenings in the academic, activity, and athletic scenes. Team captain George Eitel anxiously awaits the outcome of the toss of the coin before an important game. Athletic ability and sportsmanship, rather than luck, determine the results of athletic contests. Sandy Novak and Kathy Mauder seem to have regis- tration under control at the freshman party. The per- sonality of the school is most greatly affected by the students. Page Five

At left is Caroline Van Bret (Janice Beyer). Rip Van Bret (Dave Cook) smiles at his bride (Ami Crumpacker) while Dr. Sully (Dove Brossart) and Caroline Van Bret (Janice Beyer) congratulate them . On November 17, a responsive audience saw the hateful jealousy of a forceful woman toward her half-brother’s wife evolve into a crafty scheme to kill the intruder in the family as Double Door, a drama set in the New York home of a woman living in the past, was presented. Weeks of rehearsing and careful planning preceded the final produc- tion as interested students with dramatic ability gained an opportunity to display their talents. Even students with abilities other than dramatic and with the spirit of partici- pation found use for their services on the various committees. The combined efforts of everyone along with the skillful direction of Miss Oza Cunningham resulted in a polished performance. Page Seven
