Intimately comparing notes, seniors Debbie Gil- pin and Randy Denny find a peaceful area for studying. Abandoning the scene during school, junior Jeff Reed, senior Dan Cockerham, and sophomore Lee Ferry disobey parking lot rules. Romantic adventures banned; replaced by trash collecting Have you seen these signs; No Touching” and Keep Out”? The signs haven’t been visible yet but the feeling of new rules seems to be a con- cern to most romantic adventurers and parking lot eccentrics. Students have been deprived of the right to kiss or even hold hands on school property during school time. The usual stairwells are no place where students want to be alone. With some luck, students may very well be mak- ing-out as Mr. Phillip Houston mean- ders down the stairs. Because of the new pornography law, students are forced to forfeit the affectionate out- ings. There is a time and a place for passionate rendezvous but not here at school,” one faculty member concluded. The south parking lot for students has not, as yet, had any Keep Out” sign but it is forbidden to congregate around the cars. Since there has been thefts in the past, faculty, parents, and even police patrol the parking lot. But because the school has enforced the rules, thieves have not entered the parking lots. If it weren’t for thefts, the parking lot might be added as an advantage for the student body. Second thoughts may prevent teach- ers motives of giving punishment ranging from work detail or detention to study hall (all year) or suspension. Beware of signs, Keep Out” and No Touching” at all school activities or students may find themselves as trash collectors”. Wonder what the school will think of next ... maybe we won’t have to go to school at all!! 10 Student Life Even Oracle editor, senior Tom Bcnnardo, and junior Mindy Oliver, affectionately break the no touching” rule.

During the Christmas dance, chaperones Mr. and Mrs. James Richards fill students glasses to the brim with punch. Cold weather Sets the scene For two dances Winterland sets the scene for the Homecoming and Christmas dances. Snow warned travelers of dangerous road conditions but students and their guests kept coming. The Homecoming dance was memo- rable for those graduates who returned for the football game and the dance. Millcreek presented music to boogie down to and kept dancers bopping to the sounds. Murals that reminded students of the everlasting Christmas spirits deco- rated the gymnasium. Christmas reds and greens shone through the romantic lights as Lundin and Metzler provided the moody atmosphere of music by Fleetwood Mac, England Dan and John Ford Coley, John Hall and Dar- rell Oates, and others. Students and their guests partici- pated in the fall dances sponsored by E.S.A. which made the atmosphere en- joyable in every way. 12
