In the past few years 10 new stores have come to our growing community. Jamesway, Peoples, Medco, Aide’s and MacDonald’s, chain stores, planted themselves in our branching county. A Yamaha store; Crabapple, a clothing store; Burton’s Men’s Store; and a self-service gas station helped to meet the needs of the increasing popula- tion of our town. Every new establishment brought more people to build and staff them, thus increasing our town and school population.

This year’s freshmen class pushed our student number within 43 of capacity. The senior class numbered 202, junior class 321, sophomore class 380, and the freshmen were 407 strong. Our school was built to hold 1350 students and now, only five years after its completion, we total 1307. There was a time when there were extra rooms that could be used for club meetings and other ac- tivities, but now every nook and cranny is being put to use. Other effects of the overcrowded conditions were that pep rallies were held outside because the gym could no longer hold the students under the fire regulations and the addition of cafeteria chairs to seat all students in the auditorium during assemblies.

Selling candy was the fund raising project of the year. The energy “pinch” cancelled plans. Boys infiltrated previously all-girl sports. Girls outshined boys in over all records. Football improved, cross country ran to state, and wrestling was strong. Teachers weren’t always in the classroom, they had their hobbies and pleasures, too. See how your favorite or your most hated teachers en- joyed themselves in this section. il20 Enrollment swelled to tremendous size. The school became too small with no empty rooms for club activities. Seniors contributed a school directory to posterity.
