he Flip Side Life could never be considered dull and humdrum at this school. Students always seemed to find a way to produce a lively atmosphere, depending on what goofing off meant to them. To most, goofing off meant a time to get together with friends and chat about recent hap- penings; to others, goofing off was extra time spent in a class they particularly enjoyed. Mr. Jerry Boteler’s and Mrs. Ora Blanks’ classrooms were favorites on the lower hall. For some spending spare time read- ing magazines or newspapers in the library during lunch or study hall held special appeal. Middle school and high school students alike spent time talking on the phone with a friend, be it girl or guy. Boy-girl relations were prominent in all grades. Checking out Leggett, Cato’s, or Sidney’s for sales was also a release from the pressures of school. Spare time was scarce so students made every minute count. Some people chose to sit in the halls and talk during lunch instead of eating, while others crammed both into thirty- five minutes. Some even tried to escape the hectic routine by going down town to one of the fast food franchises for lunch. Regardless of how each in- dividual’s time was spent, these diversions added spice to the students’ lives. — Andrea Farmer Sc gaging aig OOO OPIS on oe ¢ ieee” pie OO” Oe al Lunch is finally here!

The eighth graders won the spirit contest at the pep rally, but the seventh graders proved to be the class most willing to give money for spirit chain links. The money collected went to the S.C.A. to buy picnic tables for an outside eating area.
