Language is not the only evidence of the changes made li the people of MacArthur in its ten year history. Clothes, idec and interests have all changed the face of the student body. The first students to attend classes in T966 were produc' of the post war baby boom of the late 40's and early 503 Those that walk the halls now are the result of the space cgi the Beatles and the sexual revolution. The events that shape their lives have been man on the moon, Viet Nam an Watergate as opposed to the Kennedy assassination, Kore and McCarthyism. Plans for the future are arrived at through different prof esses by students today. They take into account Women' Lib, detente and computers. According to scientists the rate of change in the past dei ade has been more than double that of any other decad preceding it. The rate of change is reflected in the faces c the seventies. Individuals have come a long way. ff-V'f?-'f.f-7'j-'ff-i'f-iff-lfftff-iffi'fi'.X-xr!-N'f-ff '.f -Y '
