GLASSES The year 1969 has been a very eventful year for the SHS students. After what seemed a very short summer students and teachers returned to the academic routine. To get acquainted with the upper class- men the Sophomores held a Sock it to me with Flower Power dance at the beginning of the school year. The Sophomores proved to be unique in their orginality of decorations on locker doors. They were also confronted with the difficult decision of choosing class rings. The Juniors returned to another year of hard, but enjoyable work. Early in the year they received the long awaited rings. They have spent many hours planning and scheming for the most important dance of the year, The Prom! This year '69 proved to be more ex- citing than ever in the field of sports. In Football as in Basketball, we were rated very high throughout the season. The excitement of the games often times carried over into dances or parties which sometimes followed. Although each student thinks his class is best, we must all agree that each class is an important part of SHS. QQ! i tm 9, . Q-3 -S x if ti p i E i ' 'TTS vi o ,uni 5 f M t fr ' If . 1 '--- 2 A..
