For seniors, it's the turning point of life, for juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, it's another chapter in life. Many things were new this year, including the freshman class. Many new teachers were here fsome of whom just graduated from junior highj. School lunch prog'ram's prices went up, while lunch quality remained the same. For the second year in a row, the basketball team went to state, as did Darrell Yohn in heavyweight wrestling. Forensics and thespians saw increasing interest and participation, and golfers made All-American. School dances and functions were well-attended. On the national scene, America witnessed the resignation of a president, the first such event in the nation's history. America's two top officials had not been elected by popular vote, being confirmed only by congress. Watergate trials ended, with and Arab embargo of oil came high prices and the economy fell into recession. But in Alamosa, dragging Main remained the in thing to do. In looking through this book, we hope the memories of fun, youth, work, learning, advancements, and even some disappointments will be brought back. We hope you enjoy looking through this book as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
