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

Modeling in the DECA Fashion Show. Sharleen Creason displays the latest fash ions from Castletons. Looking very sophis ticated and chic. Sharleen pauses to blow a kiss to the audience. The Biggest Change Of All- While it was easy to ignore some changes, and rely on traditions for support, the biggest changes couldn’t be conveniently disregard- ed. Facing and dealing with change was per- haps the biggest change of all: new attitudes, new outlooks, new expectations. Change in- vited every one to take on new views and form new opinions. An atmosphere of new- ness challenged those who succeeded to mold the changes instead of letting the changes mold them. This was where it was at. And in the end it was not just merely the outward observable differences, but the inter- nal mental processes that really affected ev- eryone: the dealing, the discovering, the lov- ing and the believing—the Biggest Change of All. 230 • Closing
