By the mid- dle of the year, most stu- dents needed a break from teachers, tests, and obliga- tions, but they persevered. An optimistic outlook helped make the year a profitable one. Optimism supplied the students’ main strength, it seems, as is revealed in the answers received to the question, “What do you feel is the best time of the school day?’ Among the many re- sponses were these: eeunche: ““A.P. because of the dis- cussions.” igher 5 5 ‘‘Government during Panel sessions.”’ and the ever popular, “Classes with filmstrips so I can catch up on my sleep.” Most of these answers, kidding aside, reflect the change in attitudes by stu- dents toward themselves and their futures. There was in evidence a quiet but no- ticeable determination to succeed, to be an individual, and to express one’s point of view. Exercising during afternoon prac- tice are Larry Pillow and Paul Sim- mons. The football team practiced diligently every day to stay in top form. Watching from the side is Stacy Mitchell. Opening 5
