Scene 1 Gong-g resounded through Callaway ' s auditorium as the stu- dent council created their version of the Gong Show. The acts ranged from wild rock bands to a melody of jokes. Srew, a bizarre band group, led by the elevated Stu Gauntt won first prize of $16.32. Scene 2 V-I-C-T-O-R-Y echoed in the gym as 20 anxious girls tested their cheerleading ability. With the su- spense of a courtroom trial, the girls awaited the student body ' s verdict. Ten received pleasing sen- tences and positions as cheer- leaders. Scene 3 Lights, cameras, action! Callaway ' s auditorium became a Broadway opening for Meredith Wilson ' s Music Man. Directed by Denise Halbach, the cast of 50 members proved themselves true Charger performers. The audience, carried away by the music, tapped their feet and ended the show with a standing ovation. Scene 4 On Friday, May 13, usually a day of bad luck, Callaway had more than its share. From 9:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. more than 1000 students danced the night away to the sound of Sassy Jones. However, not en- ough people brought their good luck charms and the Fates pre- vailed: chaos broke loose. Students, overcome by devilishness, broke alarms and generally devastated the place. Callaway compensated by paying the Holiday Inn $300.00. Scene 5 Choose me, choose me, pounded in the heads of each candidate dur- ing spring elections. Candidates, with trembling knees and sweating palms, tried to convince their fel- low classmates that they deserved to win. With ballots checked and results announced, 12 chosen peo- ple celebrated their victories. These 5 scenes, seemingly unrelat- ed, made spring the fling it was! Sheep eyed.

STudENT UFe Ring-g-g A bell sounded, and life erupted. People began to move. They paused at grey lockers, then hurried toward class rooms. They talked and laughed and said hellos. Ap- proximately every hour they did this at least once. During the time in between, they sat in desks, or at least they stayed under supervi- sion. At 3:00 P.M., they emerged for a final run. They said good- byes and headed homeward. What made this kind of life differ- ent from any other existence? Mainly, the people did. They liked orange and blue and Charger Country. They talked about things to which the rest of the world re- mained ignorant. They bought and sold stickers that said, Callaway, we ' ve got it all! They parked in a dirt parking lot that stayed in a state of mud or a state of dust. They were praised and reproached ac- cordingly. They made friends and grades. They grouped into organi- zations, both school sponsored and renegade. They united their voices at pep rallies and games. They took pride in achieving. They learned together, ate together, and stayed together for six hours a day, five days a week. They lived and breathed under the influence of Callaway High School. Student Life Division 5
