 Politics This has been the year of state politics — of candidates promising fast solutions to pressing economic problems. It has been the year of slogans, buttons, badges, bumper stickers, and bill boards all boast- ing personal likes and dislikes. There has been such a flurry of “speaking ones mind”. The feeling of freedom in this po- litical atmosphere is truly “Out of this World”.

President Warren Matthews asked for suggestions and offered assistance to any student needing help. Vice President Gala Fary stated that she knew of three types of people — “Those who know what hap- pened; those who make it happen; and those who wonder what has happened. She urged every one “ to make it happen.” We got it all started early too! This school term started a week earlier than usual — August 20th to be exact. Even though it was still summer and still hot, everyone managed to get their school gear together and start the early morning routines for another year. Bus schedules, student schedules, first days in the lunch lines without the correct change — all of these things were a part of student life. Coming together for the first assembly gave the S.G.A. an opportunity to address new as well as old students — specifically the almost 300 new freshmen!
