Everyone gets it in one form or another. For some (most sen- iors) the disease strikes after the last snow has melted. For others it strikes in May. Regardless, students find many extra- curricular activities when the thought of opening a book is a real drag. Two main events highlighted the May Days — Fantasy World and Graduation. Juniors decorated the gym in a Hawaiian setting with volcanoes, caves and grass huts. Spring banquets are also a sign of spring fever.

Its TiiviE to CRUISE ON For some the next year holds the same Cruisin ' Route of Blackford High School, but yet for others an all new route lies ahead. Whether at Blackford or far away, with the new year will come new stop signs, warning signals, detours, hangouts, and new pavement. Road conditions vary every year. What winters can com- pare to the 77 blizzard that had families stranded, stores closed, ,and students getting extra vacation? Prom and Homecoming themes will change. Karen Willmann reigning over Blackford ' s small world and Cheri Elliot over a Fantasy World will be almost forgotten to make way for a new road- side beauty. Sports may shift into high gear while other teams may slide into second. Basketball fans will remember the triumphant games between 76 state champs Marion and first- ranked Fort Wayne Wayne. Dieters may remember 77 Blackford for the salad line to help in losing extra pounds. Farrah ' s zest and zeal may fade away, and — who knows — maybe Kiss might start hitting a sour note. With the energy crisis this might have been the last year for Highway 3 to be the hangout. Blackford ' s 77 cruise route will have landmarks— each person ' s being different — but with the 76-77 year miles behind, it ' s time to put ' er in gear and Cruise On.
