From 'srorr fo Walsh The games we played were important to us. They started the first day of school as the seniors began counting days left before graduation. We also noticed that once again we had to play musical chairs with classrooms as departments had been moved around. lt was that time again to put off Friday's homework until Sunday night at 10100 p.m. It was time to listen to those hard-to-hear but amusing 9100 a.m. announcements. And it was time again for school food and standing in line. Homecoming was rescheduled due to the Pope's visit. Changes were made with homecoming tradition as hall decorations were substituted for the float decorations. Only two months after school started it was time again to either start rejoicing or to pull our the old report card excuses: But, mom, that's a tough course! or But, mom, lools at this A in gym! Staring with presidential hopeful Governor Jerry Brown in late fall, UHS got a taste of politics, Campaigning visitors included Senator Howard Balser's daughter Sissy, Senator Ted Kennedy's nephew Joe, and President Jimmy Carter's son Chip. Around the middle of the year, the library and Commons filled with psychology students loolsing for guinea pigs to trap into one of their experiments. Mass Media students hit the halls filming us with their cameras. The year of '79-80 was a success. The vocal music department grew. Drama students and music students received high marlss in competitions. ln sports there was lots of state competition. summer softball, football, hockey, girls baslsetball, boys baslsetball, four individual wrestlers, two members of the boys tracls team, one event in girls tracls, and boys and girls swimming events. We, 'the Echo staff of '79-80 feel that this was a very special and unique year. We invite you to brouse through and relive this special time. Shawn Milligan 8 I Year s Events
