We were also involved in all phases of Dalton High school, including the very active de- partment of organizations. No one was excluded, for DHS clubs appealed to a wide variety of interests and the popularity was not seasonal. But the weather was, and soon hints of spring were in the air. With spring came the deluge of spring sports and the annual spring musical. Evidently, spring was also especially devoted to the seniors, since the Juniors gave a dance, Junior-Senior, in their honor and the administration gave them the Senior Party, two very important events. The spring dances allowed us a chance to get together one last time before the onslaught of summer. It seemed as if the days were flying by, as we slowly realized that soon we would have the freedom of a three-month vacation from school. But we also knew that sometimes we lost con- tact with one another during this break, so we attemp- 1. Karen Morris 2. Janet Thomason 3. Nitra Griffin 4. Alan Thompson. Amy Morrison.

the state on tractors to demonstrate. Of course, mov- ies and celebrities figured importantly in our lives. Star Wars and Saturday Night Fever became legendary cults, and John Travolta was propelled into super-stardom. Oh, God! presented a new view of religion. We lost many famous people this year, in- cluding Hubert Humphrey and Bing Crosby. But the death of Elvis affected millions. Rock and roll had lost the King; it would never be the same. The local Whit- field County Junior Miss Pageant was another impor- tant activity of the year. One of our own, Marla Martin, won the title and the Scholastic Award. She then went to the State where she won 3rd Runner-up and the Scholastic Award. This year we had dances after the home football games — the Fifth Quarter discos sponsored by the Pep Club. Then in the spring, an anonymous donor gave the entire school a Coke Day, with doughnuts! It was quite a year!

ted to grab all the moments together we could. The last month of school was a time of hectic activity and endless excitement. Teachers were frantically trying to squeeze in a few more bits of information before exams, and we had to juggle our schedules to include this along with trips to the lake, water-skiing, and sunning. We managed, somehow. It was a time of re- flection, as we remembered the year in retrospect, in- cluding our mutual experiences. The Juniors, Soph- omores, and Freshmen would return to DHS, but the Seniors had to face an uncertain future, for gradua- tion was fast-approaching. For everyone, however, it was a time of love and sharing as we recalled a year of happiness, homework, pep-sessions, good times, dis- cos, and tears. It was 1978 . . . the Year of the Cat!
