With wrinkled brows, puzzled looks and occasional questions, we fooled our teachers into thinking that a daily “touch of class” was im- portant to us. In reality, the majority of us came to visit with our friends. Amazingly enough, a little learning rubbed off on us while we were here. Upper left: Spotting verbs was easy for Kim Bush. Upper left center: Robert Peterson con- centrated on Algebra II. Left center: Chem- istry students conducted a classroom experi- ment. Lower left: Mrs. Hartzog's Humanities class nervously waited to see who would get the last test. Upper right: Studying from magazines kept students up to date. Lower right center. Mr. French relaxes from his busy classes. Lower right: Looking in his micro- scope. Easton Nelson studied an unknown speciman.

Our concern for the future and the increasing necessity for a high school diploma made us persue academic en- deavors with more than “pass- ing interest. D's suited some. A's were required by others. Teachers made us believe that we needed to know how to locate the gall bladdar of a frog, describe the British view of the American Revolution, learn the symbols for the ele- ments on the periodic table, list the Nobel Prize Winners, name the Seven Wonders of the An- cient World, graph the equa- tion of a line, use a thesaurus- after we learned what one was, color our worlds in Geography, stay-stitching, and learn the difference between a basoon and a baboon. 4

Be cA vceiMe As we left home on Friday mornings in our spirit day costumes, amid strange looks from neighbors and bus drivers, we knew that the teachers had their work cut out for them. We cannot forget “Dink Peel's hair, Flor- ence Seiffert’s gown and Lucy Coggin s glasses on “Grease Day. And a picture of Ellen Finch in diapers on Kiddie Day may well remain with us for as long as we live. And, who can forget Charlene Wood—upside down and back- wards—and a Yellow Jackets hanging in ef- figy on “Backwards Day ? A deafening Spirit Bell Battle raged on and on between the Junior and Senior classes as they showed what faithful Tiger fans really were. Inspirational pep talks from football players thrilled and prepared us for activities ahead. The band—at the pep rally, in the stands, and on the field—had a great deal to do with boosting our spirits. We sat helplessly and watched our friends suffer injuries which were nervewracking for the fans, costly for the team, and heartbreaking for the athletes. Colorful images of a gigantic tiger painted on the grass, a stadium full of screaming fans, cheerleaders and players bursting onto the field, and blue and gold banners moving to the rhythm of a spirited fight song fill our minds as we recall enjoying the victories and suffering the losses on those cold evenings so full of excitement.
