What Expectations? What was really expected from this year? Everyone had a different goal and perspective of the things to come. In the heat of August, construction on the new library and classroom addition began. Just before registration, workmen removed the asbestos insulation from around the basement pipes. The caution signs that greeted students coming to face the terrors of enrollment appropri- ately relected the confusion inside the steamy gym. The registration process hadn't changed, but this year, unlike last, the Sophomores knew what was happening, and only the Freshmen were lost. The begin- ning of school present- ed some other sur- prises, too. Three teachers, Mrs. Maude Owens, Mrs. Bonnie Gardner, and Mr. Mel- vin Davis, retired. Mr. Woodfin was appoint- ed to be the new athle- tic director and assis- tant principal, and sev- eral teachers were hired. Things started with a bang when the foot- ball team beat Snake River, 17-6, and regained control of the Rotary Wagon. Homecoming came and went with the usual events, and once again, the seniors triumphed at the Pow- der Puff football game. On the volleyball scene, Tracy Turpin and LeeAnn Gott made the allstar team. The season ended with a cold snap that made outdoor sports miserable for the spectators. There was snow on the ground for Thanksgiving, but it soon melted and didn't fall again until after Christmas. Basketball season got rolling, and again the Panthers fell losing both games. Thanks to the Gem State Confer- ence Rules, The ‘Row- dy Bunch was born. At the basketball games, cries of Pork Chop” replaced Air Ball.” The Bronco Coosters donated T-shirts to the Rowdies printed with All we want is SPIR- IT.” Emotions ran high as the Rowdy Bunch led us to express our spirit in a not so con- ventional way. (Contin- ued) An extraterrestrial looking tube used to remove the abestos insulation from around the pipes gave the building a strange appearance. Wha fflE jrpecf!

4 All we want is SPIRIT. The Rowdy Bunch really added spirit to the last basketball game be- fore tournament. Coach Hironaka. the new basketball coach, talks to the team during a time-out in the Snake River vs. Blackfoot game. New bleachers were among the many addi- tions at the High School. These new alumi- num seats took the place of the old wooden ones.
