Miller ' s Killers, Class of ' 79 proved once again that they are truly number one with a 14-0 victory in the annual powderpuff game on October 18th.

A Kim MacPherson 20 yard scamper set up Kathy Busanic ' s quarterback keeper for six points just prior to halftime. Late in the third quarter, Ruth Heidtman broke free for a 72 yard touchdown which, coupled with Kathy Bizoukas ' two point conversion, finalized the scoring. Senior defense, which shut out the opposition for the second straight year. was led by Kathy Kuppinger, Diane Wojcik, and Kathy McCarthy.

Who could forget being too old to have their parents drive them to the football game, but being too young to drive themselves? Or how about being late to second period class every day during the first week of school? It ' s all a part of being a freshman. Monday morning blues began in earnest during our freshman year. From the minute the first bell rang, we were plunged into an entirely different atmosphere than we had been accustomed to. It was a heady sensation to choose our own classes, and we made the most of the opportunity. As soon as we got some of the required courses ke English and math out of the way, we picked the courses that we — not the administration — thought we should study. Maybe it was a class to help us when we get into college — science, for instance. Some of us took business courses to help further our career plans, and art and Glee Club were great for self- expression. Freshman year was the first time for so many new experiences. We were given our independence and along with it, responsibilities — sometimes more than we had bargained for. It was filled with a lot of adolescent agonies, true, but it was also the beginning of a whole new segment of our lives. rifflin ' ! r fmhaur 27
