Home Coming, the first big event of the year, brought the Juniors a first place in the car competition, where a yellow TR-6 was decorated as a bumble bee. Their major effort to raise money was the very successful execution of the Ping-Pong-a Thon. The 24 straight hours of pinging and ponging included a doubles and singles tournament, and games with as many as seven balls going at the same time. The Tiresome Effort was not without reward. The project brought in over 880000. One of the most memorable activities of the year had to be Sports-a-Rama. With class spirit and pride at stake, this proved to be some of the toughest and most exciting competition of the year. Even though the Juniors were only able to slip past the Freshmen for third place, their spirit never let down for a second. They were not able to brood for long over their showing when the Junior Varsity basketball team tied for the league championship. Although plagued with injuries, they finished the season with a record of 20 wins and 5 losses. The last event, and probably the highlight of the Junior year, was Junior Prom.

Students responded with mixed emotions as faces old and new passed before them, some for the first time and some for the last. The traditional wall of school strictness between teacher and student seemed to gradually crumble asgboth sides began to respect each other as people and not by status position. as shown by Mrs. Knaak's surprise baby shower and the warm acceptance of the new vice-principal, Eleanor Brown.
