They really have pedal power as they round the bend and come to a sudden stop. The stop sign means only tem- porary rest for them. They turn the corner and race down a shady dirt raod. All you see is a glint of steel and a long trail of dust behind them, When the dirt road intersects with the main road, they glide easily on the smooth gravel. Clean, fresh air and exercise really appeal to them. The scenery is another important reason the 7th graders ride. They take in everything happening around them. Sometimes they like the stillness of the country side mingled with their merry chatter. At other times they prefer the noise and the busy streets of town. Of all the reasons they like to ride, the most important reason is to do their own thing-to be blue-jean clad cyclists. i- -vue., .balm ' 1 f' fiifif QT: Y' 'll Aqfillfllli-. Seventh Gratis

They had four girls to make top twelve in the lr. High Beauty Review. This was the first year eighth grade girls and boys could try out for varsity cheer- leader and football. Two of these girls were chosen cheerleader for the 1976-77 year and three boys joined the varsity football team. In May they ended the school year by having a class skating party. With a chance to choose their own subjects next year, the eighth graders look forward to being Freshmen. frighti On rainy days the P.E. students must go inside for organized activities.
