We love you Gen-er-als, Oh yes ' . s , X' From the birth of the United States in 1776 to the opening of Douglas Mac- Arthur Senior High School in 1966 - to an anniversary year for both - 1976. Since those first thirteen states were established, conditions have undeniably changed. But the rate of change has accelerated greatly during the last decade. We've come a long way from MacArthur's original stu- dent body of 1700 to a thriving 3000, from A-line skirts and bouffant hair-dos to ieans, the layered look and long flowing hair. We've changed from stuffing phone booths to Volkswagens instead. We've worn love beads and swallowed goldfish - only to end up decorating vans and doing the bump on platform shoes. xl 2 theme Saving gas and money by car-pooling to school are Susan Bailey, Sherry Nixon, Micheal Pittman, Lisa Owens, Charlie Lozano, Dianna Villereal and Ron ald Gil. Sometimes fads are hard to swallow. But when Danny Finke gets hungry, he'll eat anything! 5 if- - . .x.:,, . xii..

LQ? sgfles, ideas change in the sixties, seventies MacArthur has seen and survived the era of Viet Nam, the Beatles, protest marches and the graduation of nine classes. Dresses starting iust below the knee rose to mini length - only to fall back to today's style of mid calf. Sit-ins, love-ins, woodstocks, assassinations and peace have all had their effect on MacArthur. New attitudes, traditions and hopes have developed over the years under the pressure of national and international events. The early sixties were a carefree, sheltered time with worries confined to a date for the Sock Hop. As the sixties neared their end, an upheaval and an awakening of political and humanitar- ian awareness appeared. The hippies and flower children had very definite ideas of war, peace and love. With the seventies came woman's lib, getting in touch with yourself and the stripping of facades. Americans saw the unfolding of the infamous Watergate cover-up and the resulting convictions and pardons of public offi- cials. It witnessed with mixed emotions the first resignations of the President and Vice President of the land. Both country and school have grown, changed, and matured. We've come a long way, baby!
