BREEZY U-TURN, A backblow of newspaper snip ups snows on SCA float crew members, DeDe Wichy and Kim Bishop. A BLACK SCAR on school grounds, the demolished shop building leans on its four wall frame crutch. Good old tradition! We followed routine. As usual, we called in our mugshot professional, Wilson Moore, to cover dances and gridiron ceremonies. But student life wasn't all tradition. We stuck that coined journalism phrase, student life, to every bit of PG living, not just school ground activities but all the little things that made PGHS tick. We took the school gossip and siphoned it out. Leading the list, hunting boasts, after- thoughts of summer freedom, and wide eyed stories of school accidents monopolized student talk. Literally just around the corner, a new 7- Eleven store sprung up in time for 1976 coverage. just a bit of the bicentennial, 76 celebrations took four pages of section space. With no limits, we covered student life topics any way at all. Not a bit alike, varied layouts and copies set a mixed STUDENT LIFE+ collection. b'cemenn'a'feS Va' I I Student Life 9

10 Prom We never thought we'd do it! Planning began months ahead with theme ideas buzzing around. A theme meant our GO-sign -9 got to order decora- book a band, where's the money coming from, who's going to make refresh- ments? . . body pitched in to decorate. No chance to get a head start on tans, we spent early sun time in the gym setting up a For the Good Timesf' scene. Bottles and candles for the tables? Candles we had, but bottles had to come from some- where. Morning announce- ments, afternoon announce- ments, still no one took interest. Finally, tions, got to find bottles, got to . impossible! Every- 'S-Q, g after a M. frantic search we, somehow, confiscated enough and sighed a relief. Still faced with last-minute add ons and touch ups, Friday night dates pitched in spare hours, strong arms, brains, and will power. . .As we edged our way through and found a spot to sit, we gazed around and decided the well used expression, we any 5, were too tired to enjoy it, just didn't hold up. For a Saturday in May at least, all that work made it worth it For the Good Times.
