I can’t believe I ate the whole thing, laments Mr Reeves as he loses the kolache eating contest at a pep rally. We Vibrate Positively Vibrations--what are they? How do they start, and where do they fit at Neumann High? Born of more than an or- dinary occurrence, vibrations are the effects of one instant upon another, of one idea upon another, of one emotion upon another. This lends to the chain of events an explanation of cause and effect. Neumann students lived, worked, and vibrated around a common center--school pride. Waves of endeavor extended to all areas of the school com- munity, making individuals as one. Each person’s achieve- ment, outlook and ability effected the next; each de- pended on the effort of another, as do pulsating ripples of wa- ter after a disturbance has been made. Each individual, after the struggle, gained from the final talley. Concentrically related to one another, the students were the vibrations of 1972--the “disturbances” that caused changes in the natural scheme of things.

New Ripples Appear On Neumann s Surface Many new ripples ap- peared during the 1971-1972 school year to change the ex- terior of Neumann High, in- cluding the appearance of fifty freshmen to make a total en- rollment of two hundred forty- three. But freshmen weren’t the only new students. For the first time in its history, Neumann had a foreign student, Ramon Cordero, and a visually handi- capped student, Darryl Walla, attend regular classes. The school itself took on a new look as the library was arranged with a new floor plan and Room 28 was converted in- to an audio-visual room. Mean- while the north lobby was made into a speech resource center, and the old journalism room became an office for three teachers. The ripple that pleased students most, however, was the opening of the gym doors for noon recreation during mods 11,12, and 13 each day. Launching the handball on its return trip to the wall, Butch Vasa engages in one of the favorite noon-time recreation sports. Amigos from the start.
