Seconds Swirl in Teen Activity New cars, different acquaintances, class competi- tion flashed across my mind in remembering the 175 days of the 1967-68 school year. Poly opened its doors in September and I assumed my share in establishing the fads, fashions, and follies for this year — the year of the mechanical man on the moon, the first human heart transplant, and the six presidential aspirants jockeying into position as President Johnson stepped down. School life was crowded with events as I searched for time — time to park my late-arriving car on the disastrously crowded parking lot ... time to celebrate a friend ' s birthday party . . . time to sign for the draft . . . time to listen to the beat of Day Dream Believer by the Monkees or Never My Love by The Association. Classrooms and hallways forced me into kalei- doscopic mixtures of individuals. My mind, with its disciplined ideas was invaded by strange inventions of a national hippie movement. I found friendship and understanding in the school community, although many times I felt disappointment and confusion in my disrupted plans. With each day came new happinesses and difficult decisions to be made. Each second touched my life, flowing like sand through an hourglass, and unleashed my hours of anticipated hopes into a brilliant frenzy of reality. Surprise! We didn ' t forget! Lunch periods are filled with parties as seniors reach the decisive age of eighteen and realize they are becoming adults. PARKING proves to be an everyday problem as more and more students drive their own cars to school.

PROVIDING A familiar teenage sight are Bob Gresham, Buddy Hodges, and Kay Rogers as they meet at a favorite local restaurant to eat pizza and to chat. LISTENING TO strains of a hippie tune, students try to un- derstand the new movement by inquiring about the hippie ' s views on living, love, and communication. TESTING PROGRAMS constitute an invaluable segment in school curriculum as students plan ahead for college entrance. Spending their Saturday morning concentrating on their exams are Glenda Edwards, Linda Sisson, and Vickie Bedwell.
