Speed and accuracy are two important skills in typing. The Sophomore typing class strives to excel at these two requirements. Teaching boys about such things as table etiquette can be a bit trying and amusing at times, but that is what Mrs. Goodwin attempts to do in her Individual Living course. Cheering at games and pep assemblies is not the extent of a cheerleader s responsibilities. All cheerleaders help make the sign for the upcoming game. Aiding the Junior class in its efforts to win the spirit stick, Dixie Moritz decorates the hall with paper streamers in good ole' blue and gold. An amateur disc jockey, Terry Campbell spends spare time playing records and announcing for KDEW, the local radio station. 2 It Can Never Happen Again

 i s summer tans faded and eye strain began to set in, we rec- onciled ourselves to that ever pres- ent fact that August marks the beginning of school. Although we struggled and fought against the idea of giving up a ride around the square, a jaunt to Stuttgart to see Star Wars or a Thursday night ballgame, we grad- ually resumed the study habits that had gotten us this far. If students tried to pinpoint exactly when the school year became something special — something unique — then we would probably fail. It began as any other, but with each passing moment we realized that our previous statements about school just didn’t apply any more. Books piled on books, special notebooks for English class, special pens for this class, special paper for that one — the list seemed endless — but finally we settled down to our special year. Although we had never considered the fruit flies' eye color important, or how King Tut died, or even if the Panama Canal Treaty should be signed — we soon learned just how important it really was! We thought we had an unending yearning for chocolate until the Junior class bombarded the halls brandishing their candy boxes trying to make the quick sale” to raise money for the spring banquet. Or, how about the cheerleaders’ near impossible task of convincing the masses it was okay to yell louder for the Dragons than for their classes? v:- Introduction 3
