EDITOR’S MESSAGE Dear People September began, and we could tell that this was the year, this was the beginning. It was a time of having a new superintendent, a time of breaking with outworn traditions, a time of building trust in one another. The attention spotlight of the school shifted from the happy -go-lucky -are-you-going-to-the-game atmosphere to focus on our increasing concern for social problems and their effects on us as individuals. The slogan “Super Seventy” emerged at first as the by-word of the seniors, but then became evidence that we had all been given the challenge of a new decade. Perhaps by the time we've closed the days of the Seventies, we'll be able to look back and wonder why we ever argued over the length of a boy’s hair or the significance of a black studies program. William Faulkner once said. Maybe nothing ever happens once and is finished. Maybe happen is never once but like ripples maybe on water after the pebble sinks, the ripples moving on. spreading ...” What we have done this year will help to determine everything we will ever do, because our personalities have beeri molded by each other. As you glance over these pages in ten years, twenty years, even the year 2000-remember that these were the events of 1970, and that Crystal City High School was made belter because we made the events. Yours, Yearbook Editor
