• ; i Afternoon classes resumed with the ringing of the one o’clock bell. Students then had 10 minutes to tell last minute jokes and go to their lockers for books before going to 5th hour classes. For the Ag boys, 5th hour some- times meant a field trip to the FFA pens or to look over someone's live- stock. The sound of pounding nails and screeching saws announced that the Woodchucks were building their barn. Nerves jangled in English class- es as book reports and speeches were anticipated. For the unlucky students, the afternoon began with the foul- smelling chemicals and stomach clenching experiments in Chemistry class. Typing II. Psychology, Stage Band.

The noontime was often cut short for club members attending 12:50 meetings. As graduation approached, Seniors used the remainder of their lunch period to measure for caps and gowns.

(4) Advancing step by step to the roar of the crowd, cheerleaders Connie Hubble, Terry Weber, and Pam Lastinger finally succeed in creaming Buddy Smith, Pat Davis, and Steve Zahorsky. (5) A familiar sight during the day is Diane Wahl, who conducted the stu- dent council spirit ribbon sales throughout the year along with Robin Wilson. % IV Student Life 13
