Hmr.w'i! GOOD Let’s take a nap. Get Together! I wish you would quit looking over my shoulder.” Shake it! Do the Hula! In Line For Chow A Stop In The Action 3 MAKERS OF THE 76-77 PA W Bill Hendricks, Mary Hill, Laurie Lane, Alice Johansen, Cindy Skaggs, Joy Strickland, Teresa Anderson, Cindy Beverly, Teresa Baker, Co-Editor Leslie Bower, Editor Sherri Tillett, Sponsor Miss Herndon. During my last year in high school, I have had many honors and privileges. Being editor of The Paw” has been one of the most important to me. Miss Herndon has been a great sponsor. She stood behind me when I needed her and handled the money and the book work. The staff was made up of eleven dedicated and hard working individuals. Our co-editor was Leslie Bower who worked very hard. There were five senior members on the staff. First, Teresa Baker was a photographer which is a hard job that keeps you very busy. Cindy Beverly is a two year member of the staff with a lot of good ideas. Cindy Skaggs has done a lot of extra work. She did a good job with our typewriter. She has been on the staff for two years. Joy Strickland is a two year member and has done a fine job. This is the first year for Teresa Anderson, but anytime I needed her for a job, she got right in there without a word. We had two junior members. Mary Hill who helped keep things in order was always ready to work. Bill Hendricks was our other photographer. He was a big help and did a Jot of work on his own that was really appreciated. I feel the annual staffs in the next few years will be in good hands. Our three sophomores were Alice Johansen, Laurie Lane, and Johnna Mays. This was their first year but they caught on real fast and did great work. To the 76-77 Annual Staff, “Thanks, it has been a pleasure working with ya’ll.” Our theme this year was Good Times”. We hope the faculty, administration, parents and the students are pleased with the 76-77 “Paw”. We are very proud of it. EDITOR-AT-WORK OUR 1976-77 PAW IS DEDICATED 70-SHERMAN TAYLOR-OUR SUPERINTENDENT Every man’s work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself, and the more he tries to conceal himself the more clearly will his character appear in spite of him.

Clean grills often. 5. Close draperies and blinds to keep out sunlight. 6. Keep fireplace damper closed 7. Proper home insulation keeps heat out, cuts energy use. 8. Weatherstrip doors and windows. Caulk cracks. 9. Keep windows closed. Open outside doors as little as possible. 10. Buy units with highest “energy efficiency ratio (EER) is not on sales tag, ask for it or figure it yourself. Divide wattage into BTU capacity. 11. Place unit where it'll get as little direct sun as possible. 12.
