OUR CONDUCTORS . . . Many Times Our “Audience” Only See Our Faded Jeans, Tennis Shoes, 45.00 Blouses, and Our Shaggy Heads and Turquoise Jewelry. But Our Conductors Somehow Are Able to Look Beyond the Mundane Trappings to See Our True Selves . . Our Talents, Our Needs, Our Strengths, Our Weaknesses. Together We Work, Al- though Not Always in Harmony, to Somehow Create a Tune. A Tune We Remember Many Years Into the Future. Sometimes Whistled in the Bright of Day, or Maybe Just Hummed at Night . .. but Always Sung Together. Principal: Glen Miller District One Superintendent: Assistant Principal: Stanley Walkowicz H. E. Hipp District One Trustees: FIRST ROW: Albert Jackson, John Tinsley, John Austin, Cliff Walden, and Toy Hyder, SECOND ROW: Arthur Wingo, Dr. David Stokes, Marion Gram ling, Thomas Haynes Morrow, Frank Bird, and Jack Stone Faculty 17

 April I, 1976 . . Everybody, and I mean everybody, is in a rotten mood. April 4, 1976 You know, it seems like I’ll never get out of school. I can’t stand this waiting. I was caught looking out the window in Mrs. Wingo's room during class. I was just thinking about stuff. . . I guess it's spring fever. Mrs. Wingo had to remind me twice, then she warned me with a share of stock. I guess I de- served it. I don't have any con- trol of my thoughts. I was late for two classes today. The rea- son I was late was because of waiting in those long lines for a drink of water. The air-con- ditioning is broken again, hah- hah! I wonder when yearbooks are coming? Junior-Senior's coming up and I'm broke. May 22, 1976 My nerves are killing me. Most of my friends are afraid of the stage and practice, but after Mrs. Moore's class I’m afraid I may be coming back next year. I think my average is 70 with the final quarter test coming up. June 1, 1976 . The previous week flew by. All that miserable practice paid off. When I walked down the hall to get into my Marching group I got this weird foolish feeling. Nobody was clowning June 1, Cont. around tonight. Chapman looked different, the halls, the class- rooms, empty desks, the teachers. I suddenly knew why I was sad. Part of me was go- ing to be left here. There was a part of me I couldn’t take with me when I graduated. Part of me will always be at Chapman. All of this was going through my mind when I heard them call a few names before mine. Butterflies filled my stomach and I had a touch of insecurity. Just then, while still on stage, - I managed to get a quick glimpse of my parents. I could spot a few falling tears of joy on my mother’s cheek as she sternly applauded for me. I think I’m always going to re- member my mother as she was then. It was only a few seconds of reality . . . but I wanted to flood my mind with memories of how they helped me through the ups and downs of getting an education and make these mem- ories last forever. Twelve years of schooling over just like that. Zap, what do you have for all the hard work? A diploma. But I've got more than a diploma. I have a tune in my head. You see Chapman, like America, is a tune. Our edu- cation came as we sung the tune together. In the class rooms, halls, on the field, black, white. There were high notes, low notes, and we some- times sang in parts. Sometimes the beat was fast, other times we let it drag but the point is, we sang it together! . . . and I'll always have the tune. 16 Theme
