S urvival Of The Funnesr As days became weeks, and weeks became months, everyone decided that they were going to survive another year. Not only survive, but have fun and excitement. All it took was getting used to all the changes around them and dealing with some new circumstances. Students discovered the ins and outs of the new attendance policy and looked rigorously for loop- holes. The “50'' rooms across the faculty parking lot were located by those dodging through parked cars to make it to classes on time. Teachers learned the names of even more students and students learned to adjust to the differing person- alities, testings, and assignments of their new teachers. Those who liked to maintain a degree of anonymity discovered the advantages of packed classrooms. New theft-reducing locks on the lock- ers were finally puzzled out until they were greased by some friend or enemy. And the ex- tended six-minute passing periods were used well with talk of weekends, homework, and the changes unfolding all around. Covered with cream. Faleen Bender gets a taste of a pie the hard way at the pie-throwing booth at the Alta Fair. Held during Homecoming Week, the Fair enabled various clubs to raise funds sponsoring games and selling foods. The mellow moods of the Hawk Hoedown combine with the atmosphere of Western styles to create the popularity which surrounds the first girls choice dance as Joni West and date sit one out. 228 • Closing

The Human Catepillar of senior rowdies rolls along the football field at the evening pep rally . One thing that fortunately did not change this year was the excitement that surrounds Homecoming Week, which was highlighted by a 23-6 win over Bingham. I A concerned snarl crosses Russ Johnson's face as he stands on the sidelines with his teammates Todd Gibson and Rob Watkins watching the changes devel oping on the playing field. Around the track, the Alta pack high steps it without an opponent in sight. Nothing could change the cross country (both girls and boys) teams as the boys fin ished fourth in State and the girls placed second. Closing • 227
