0, o Ox 4H BY JANINEEADDY School was the place that we all claimed to hate, but when the 1 :30 bell rang many students stayed there. Chances were that those who stuck around had club meetings to attend, or other activities to work on. Of course there were mornings when everybody had to drag themselves out of bed to get to school on time, but when the bell rang, few had time to go home. Key Club and Keyette meetings were held every other week. Many students stayed after to run track, or practice football or basketball. Student Council and class meetings claimed a lot of devoted time. Those who sang in any of the choral groups such as Windsong and Seabreeze found themselves performing at area malls and local elementary schools, while the band played on. To top it all off, many students held jobs at the same time. With the abundance of activities available to students, most were involved in one or more. Grades and physical well- being often suffered as busy students paid the price of being overly involved with clubs, jobs, and sports. But face it, we never would have made it through the year without being able to say, “I ' m so tired,” or, “I have so much to do!” Underclassmen kicked off the year with class pictures. Kathy Long poses for the camera. The 1979 Homecoming theme, “Smoke The Spartans” was carried out and depicted in many ways. This Spartan met his fate in room B-6. ► Longer class periods meant leftover time at the end of the class. Cindy Fuhrman uses the ending moments for primping and catching up on everybody ' s Kermit The Frog imitations. ▼ 11 ■ K Student Activities 1 7

Money for pleasant memories By DON NEUBAUM and JOANNE FORD Money. Students needed it to do most everything. Movies, concerts, records and clothes all necessitate the use of it. But education is free, or is it? Although most of the necessary school supplies are furnished, seniors found that some of the traditional activities and functions required a payment. One of the first traditions that seniors encountered was that of seniqr pictures. A $1 sitting fee to foot the cost for a senior color section in the yearbook, was required. In addition there was a fee for processing a packet of your favorite pose. Most students took the SAT at least once during their last year of high school. This called for an $8.25 payment when signing up for the test. Seniors who sent applications to a college found that a charge of $1 5.00 was necessary in order for the college to consider the students application. The Senior Gong show went off with a bang as David Yingling and Bob Calder jam. The Gong Show was just one of many events held for Seniors during Senior Week.JL The Village People were among the unpopular disco recording artists, Kenny Lamb and David Webb spoof their song, In The Navy.J 18 Update
