Helping out in class. Mr. Bill Young, math teacher, dis- cusses a problem with junior. Mike Thielmeier Searching for a seat in the crowded stands at an afternoon football game against Doss. Spanish teacher. Harry Rosado. continued to cheer on the Falcons in their successes and defeats People begin a year eager, ex- cited, and ready for action. Through lab classes, talk of Churchill and Roosevelt, or just praying together, we made an attempt to learn. Most importantly, we attempted to learn from one another, not as the trad- itional teacher and student, but as a communion of minds. This rela- tionship made academics different because learning went beyond the classroom into a caring and loving action among people. It prevaded everyone from students, teachers, and principals, to secretaries and maintenance workers. To our entire community we said. We ' re all in this together. Congratulating sophomore. Mike Johnson, on a |ob well done, principal. John J Moll. Sr .. hands out a course award at Honors Convocation May 8. 1977 ACADEMICS
