People shuddered to pay 5.35 for a coke, S1 for a gallon of gas, S60 for a prom dress and 58000 for a new Camaro. Due to a fuel shortage blamed on wasteful Americans and greedy oil cor- porations, Americans tried to save fuel every way possible. Many students stop- ped driving to school every day. Ther- mostats were lowered in the winter and raised in the summer. All businesses were even required by law to keep their air-conditioning at 78 degrees or more. Despite the energy crunch and the tremendous inflation rate, the new decade promised many benefits.Already several test tube babies had been born. loft: Sophomore Janet Bossemeyer proves that girls as well as guys enloy the economical and fun transportation a mo-pe provides. A new coin, the Susan B. Anthony dollar, came into existence. Scientists could treat some types of cancer and hoped to discover a cure for all types. Astronomers foresaw the establishment of communities on Mars. New kinds of energy such as solar and nuclear offered a possible answercto the energy shor- tage. v Within the students' lives the new decade offered more immediate results. It gave kids a new start as they grew from adolescence to adulthood. What better time could there be than the new decade, for students to start building on a new image!

Below: Jogging around the block is one way that Gretchen Ir y eeps in shape. Many AHS students built on o new image by icing the jogging craze. What do you mean that AHS students projected a new image? They didn't look any different. They still spent Friday nights cruisin'. They were, for the most part, either tuned to KISS 99 and loved disco or tuned to Q 95 and hated disco. Like most teenagers they spent 99'Xm of their time in jeans and a t-shirt, They hated homework and loved weekends. They sure seemed the same. What was this new image? ' Responsibility grew among students. They recognized how important the future was and beganto set goals. They suffered along with other Americans with the problems of a fuel shortage. Because of the gas shortage, senior jeff Ehrlich admitted, I tried to pool rides to school instead of driving every day. 6 OPENING Self improvement was another way students built on the new image. Each individual improved himself in his own way. While some started running or jogging to stay in shape others gave up smoking. Many students settled down to serious studying to help prepare them- selves for college. Students helped better the com- munity by taking part in community projects. Groups like Seventeen Club and Y-teens donated time and money to the needy. Other students did volunteer work for various causes. Years of labels finally wore off. Racial problems were nonexistent at AHS. The Indian spirit brought all races together. The changes at AHS were no surprise though - just one way of building on a new image. .Q K. f'.
