Bcttinger i, R f.v' - A I k A CELEBRATION tf - T 70 HUNDRED VE OF A NATION a� j . 4k T he idea of the original thirteen colonies and their leaders was born out of a passion to be free—to chart their own destiny of building a country out of this thin fabric called Freedom. The break from England was not to come easily, as this fledgling was viewed as a ser- ious threat to the tentacles of the vast and far-flung British Empire. • ij i..- i CV,; .t atriots rose from every corner of the struggling country. Help came from other European countries to add to the flame of breaking the grip of England. Farmers, fish- ermen, cobblers and men from every walk of life took up their arms to defend this new- felt right to be free. As the smoke began to clear, ideas on organizing this diversity of colonies into a coalition of united states began to take shape. The form of a Constitu- tion and Bill of Rights was molded by states- men who previously were nonexistent. world of this new country, with its vast do- main and resources, thousands of immigrants poured in to start a new life. With the added growth of population, new frontiers were needed. This stretching brought new con- flicts with foreign powers who previously had laid claim to parts of the interior. s the gangling country continued to grow, internal disagreement erupted into a battle of economic and philosophical differ- ences. The battle was to leave scars which would heal only after generations had passed. Out of the wounds came a stronger fiber of freedom for the individual man. The country had survived as a unit and now its energies would be put to work in rebuilding the found- ing fathers’ ideals. II s one of the leading industrial nations, this strapping, growing giant became em- broiled in the first of the World Wars. After its success with other Allied Nations, a never- before-felt boom and prosperity was followed with the shattering bust of the Great De- pression. New leaders were sought to pull the Country out of its fall, while on the horizon new storm clouds were building across the oceans. 111. XA second World War was fought to pro- tect the cause of freedom, as the now grown giant emerged to take its place as the leader °f the Free World. This new role has brought with it—many challenges—many successes— v£ for all nations to envy—a burning passion that men may one day be free . . .

Used by Permission. AU Rights eserved.” CLASS HISTORY This is the story of the Class of 1976 Once upon a time, in the fall of 1963. there entered 53 kindergartener's full of vim and vigor. We learned how to count, paint, play, and basically get along. Every day we walked to the Acadamy House. Wc were di- vided into two groups, the morning and the afternoon. Soon we graduated to the main school building and first grade. All during our elementary years we worked and played together. Friends moved but kids always came to take their place. Strong friendships were formed. Some things never forgotten in those years are the sixth grade party at Mrs. Simonton’s, the carnival and record hops, jumping out of Mrs. Cobb’s fifth grade windows, Mrs. Lee’s library corner, the hole in the wall of Mrs. Weisenberger’s fifth grade, and the softball sixth grade games in which Mrs. Simonton’s class creamed Mr. Bundy's class. Then we entered the seventh grade and got the first taste of “going our separate ways”. We drove the teachers crazy. We went through 9 reading teachers in half a year. In the eighth grade, some girls decided to get together and have eighth grade cheerleading for a change. The last four years of school flew by fast. There were dances, sports, and parties to occupy everyone’s time. Our class was very large. In ninth grade we had three homerooms. We had our first record hop. In eleventh grade we had dances, half the basketball games, ordered our class rings, and took part in organizing the prom. We had a lot of fun. Now our senior year came full of expectations. The first major event was our senior play. We also had dances, basketball games, and a really great prom. Soon the year was closing to an end. Preparations were made for graduation, a time for parties and things to remember. After graduation, we knew we would always look back and cherish the memories of our school years, but we would also look ahead to the future.
