Did You Miss Out On a Special Year? Did you miss out on a year when zoning moved some students to North Pulaski and brought new students from Jacksonville, when Sylvan Hills beat Northeast, when students took part in local and national elections, when Texarkana was finally beaten and the football team won Conference for the first time? Did you miss out when clubs raised money and went to conventions, when new courses were offered, when a gymnastics team was formed? Were you one of those who was called in the office because you did not obey new parking regulations? Were you there when the first day of school wel- comed a new assistant principal, new teachers and new seniors, juniors and sophomores? Did you miss out on exciting pageants and con- tests when the winners felt joy and happiness, when the choir and band had concerts and festivals in the new auditorium, when the athletes and physical education classes first used the new gym, and when for the first time students had to purchase lunch tickets? Do you remember the exultation on the face of everyone when at the November 14 pep rally a proclamation from Mayor Bill Henson was read which proclaimed the day as “SYLVAN HILLS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL BEARS FOOTBALL DAY.” On the national side, do you remember fans mournings the death of actor Steve McQueen, when Ronald Reagan soundly defeated Jimmy Carter, when Governor Bill Clinton was upset in his reelec- tion bid by new Governor Frank White, when Voy- ager One passed Saturn, when the first space shuttle was launched? If all this news passed you by, then you weren't from Sylvan Hills because Sylvan Hills People DIDN'T MISS OUT! ANTICIPATION — Former Governor Bill Clinton smiles in anticipation of a win before the results came in. HAMMER AND NAIL - The building of the new gym, started last year, was finally completed. LOYAL SUPPORTERS — After a winning season of football, some bear supporters put up this sign. 30 History

COME EAIEECAY MCEMNG SATURDAY MORNINGS - These are two words which have happy memo- ries for students. Although everyone goes in different directions, it’s a special day of the week for fun, work, sleeping late, trips — just a day to enjoy a vaca- tion from the routine of school. McCain Mall was a local meeting place for many kids who browsed, bought, and worked. Ice skating, bowl- ing and picnicing were also favorite activities. Regardless of how Saturdays were spent, they always seemed to be too short. ON TOP OF T1IE WORLD - Seniors Dean O'Nale, Kelly Fisher, Susan Pratt. Jennifer John- son, Deborah Willmont. and Chris Quackenbush rest after a climb on Mount Pinnacle. Soturdoys 29
