The 213 seniors wasted no time in assuming leader- ship while 219 juniors routinely fell in line and 225 sophomores nervously awaited their chance to be recognized. Reaching out into the community created a mood which emphasized people-to- people relationships. A student body filled with enthusiasm attempted to make our school the best in education, activities, and sports. Individuals made the differ- ence. Their closeness with fellow students, their individual pride for their school’s success built a new attitude that was unbeatable 3 Taking advantage of a second quarter time-out. coach August Kielp, a hit frustrated, hurriedly reviews the game strategy with the green and gold cagers. As a teen board member, I worked with school and com- munity. (Jackie Kensinger) Going beyond the walls of FH and interacting with area schools, communities, and outside organ- izations, we develop a degree of self-sufficiency and prepare ourselves for future challenges. Inter- scholastic events not only provide entertainment but also afford a means of achieving a friendly atmosphere. By exchanging ideas we can form a better understanding of our fellow citizens which will lead to an improvement in community as a whole. Many times the clubs and activities you are a part of now are representative of larger organizations that work to combine the efforts of interested people into one efficient group. Good public relations is the result of your interactions. During halftime of the Forest Hills-Penn Cambria basketball game.

(Kim Law) Each of us is in some way involved, either with our friends, our studies, or the various activities set up by the school. Association with friends helps us to communicate our ideas and gain self-con- fidence as a result of their support. Through classroom participation, debates, and panel dis- cussions we learn to develop a sense of responsibility. We satisfy the need for competition and recognition by taking part in sports and cooperating with others in activities. Regardless of how you look at it—you are involved Above: Student Council members Terrs Bimle.

(Janet Goldyn) Going along with the crowd, being part of a group, or conforming to others’ standards is generally acceptable to most of us. But there are times when you want to be an individual, alone with your thoughts, alone with your emotions or just alone with somebody you care about. Sometimes you do things a little out of the ordinary just to be different, to prove that you are an individual You can be influenced by so many different things—your family, your peers, your environment, or even the place of your birth, but despite all of these, you are unique. You are an individual. 9 Right Members of the English department, chairman Henry Polasko, Fran Matvay, and Albert Keller, made up the plan- ning committee of the new mini-course program Below Penny Matlin pauses during a health class to pose for yearbook camera Penny also teaches phvs ed Faculty— Aids Students, Updates Courses English mini-courses, new busi- ness machines, and computer pro- graming were major innovations which the faculty helped to initiate. Mini-courses required hours of hard work during the summer. Sev- eral members of the English depart- ment organized and developed courses of study as well as ordered books and supplies for some forty varied fields of study. Opinions differed, but most Eng- lish teachers agreed that the diversi- fication and originality offered by the new course was a vast improve- ment over the traditional system. Business education teachers worked with several new types of office machines. In helping students learn how to operate the Gestafax, the new electronic calculators, a cas- sette film sound projector, and an electric ditto machine, the depart- ment felt it was preparing students for better jobs and more opportuni- ties in the business world. Besides tying science and math departments more closely together the computer programing course also served to improve and update the curriculum. Faculty worked hand in hand with students in teach- ing them basic computer skills The faculty worked industriously toward improving educational tech- niques and opportunities offered by the school The attitude of teachers toward students and curriculum was by far their greatest asset Below I pon arrival at school Bonnie Arnold immediately reports to Mr. Sain Plum- mer, assistant principal, to secure an early dismissal permit Bottom Principal Joseph Madigan meets with wrestler Tim Harshberger to discuss an upcoming tournament in which FH students will he involved Members of the school board attending the December monthly Anthony Tanzely, James White and solicitor Gilbert Caroff. meeting are as follows Elwood McGough. John Dimond. The reorganization of the board of directors took place Board Finalizes Plans for New School Approval of the school calendar, student activities, and budgetary expenses were but a few of the responsibilities of the board of directors. Overseeing the planning of a new elementary school was a major concern for the current board of directors. The board spent hours working for the finalization of plans for a new, cent rally-located elemen- tary school to replace the present system of nine elementary build- ings. The proposed plan, developed by Buchart Associates, includes a series of learning ‘‘pods,’ a swim- ming pool, and a resource center (library). The multi-million dollar structure, to be built behind the senior high school is scheduled to be completed in two years. “It is our hope that the new elementary school will be ready for a September, 1976 opening.’ (Anthony Nastase) 12 Checking the floor plan of the new multi-million dollar elementary school are Gordon Smith (first vice-president). James Burkey. Anthony Nastase (president). Robert Chunta (treasurer), and Peter Skoner (second vice-president) Superintendent Outlines Energy Policy Superintendent David L. Smith, chief school administrator for the past eight years, heads the junior and senior high schools as well as nine elementary schools of the Forest Hills District. Fewer lights and less heat were just two of the energy saving measures put into effect in Decem- ber by David L. Smith, superinten- dent of schools. At a meeting of teachers and students Mr. Smith outlined other steps which the district took toward saving fuel in order to comply with state suggestions for conserving energy. He urged students to initiate the use of lower temperatures and fewer lights at home and asked teachers and students who had to drive to school because of after school jobs to form car pools. “There is a shortage, but if everyone makes some sacrifices, there will be no serious hardships for anyone.” (David L. Smith) Checking the files for a needed order form is Twila Patterson, Mr. Smith’s secretary. 13 Principal Office Linked Closely With Students Any student in need of help should feel free to come to my office at any time to discuss the matter. (Joseph Madigan) As the closest link between the administration and student body, Joseph Madigan, Forest Hills High School principal, always took an interest in student needs and club projects. Writing recommendations and nominating students for awards and honors, Mr. Madigan assisted many of those who were seeking employment or college acceptance. Mr. Madigan also coordinated and approved all school activities, granting permission for dances, pep rallies, and other projects sponsored by various clubs. In organizing the new method of class officer elections, he worked closely with the election committee in setting up controls and advising participants on proper procedure. He was always ready to give a help- ing hand. High school principal Joseph P. Vladigan confirms a recommendation for one of many seniors seeking part-time employment on Saturdays. One of the many duties of Florence Wissinger. Mr. Madigan's secretary, is mak- ing Xerox copies of student records needed for college admission. Delores Mucko, receptionist, is kept busy all day long with many incoming and outgoing calls. 14 Mrs. Helen Fomadel and Mrs. Helen Gdula review a list of monthly ex- penses while compiling the report for the board of directors Millie Mitchell prepares to check the computer print- out of the bi-monthly payroll. Business Office Manages Fiscal Affairs “Updating the fuel system at the junior and senior high schools was a big step forward in complying with environmental regulations. (Thomas Neff) Both of these schools previously had coal heat but changed to oil during the past summer. This transaction was undertaken by the business office. Other duties of this office in- cluded preparing the bi-monthly payroll, ordering school supplies and the initial bulk of cafeteria foods. The business office was one of the vital centers of activity in the school system. 15 Business manager Thomas Neff leaves the main office after attending an important session concerning the fuel crisis. Special Services Emphasize Good Atmosphere Not fear, but atmosphere is the climate that we try to perpetuate in pupil services ' (Steve Hrapchak) We hatched them. The social workers aided in pre-school regis- tration making the transition from toddlers to students. We patched them. The school nurse took care of bumps and bruises along with other physical needs. We matched them. The guidance counselor hopefully tried to get the ripht students with the right classes. We did catch them. The home school visitor checked on hookey players while the assistant principal, in charge of absenteeism, aided him. We dispatched them. Upon grad- uation we tried to get the students w'ith the right career, business trade or technical school, or college. Assistant high school principal Sam Plummer, who is in charge of student absenteeism, checks his desk file for a chronic hookey player Guidance counselor Steve Hrapchak calls a local college to leam of financial aid requirements for interested students 16 Home school visitor Frank Leach checks an absentee’s record before visiting the student's home Above: School nurse Clarann Hillenbrand records weight of senior Gary Whiteford for school's health files. Left Martha Kozar. social worker, reviews case study of a home-bound stu- dent to determine needed help 17 Aides Allotted More Time In order to relieve teachers of some routine chores and give them more time for actual teaching, the administration allotted more hours to teacher aides. With the added time, aides took on new responsibilities by actually assisting teachers in class work, such as helping with lab work. Working in the micro-lab was very different from my regular duties but I enjoyed the classroom work (Betty Smith) Other duties included typing and correcting tests, mimeographing, li- brary work. Xeroxing etc. The teacher aid program is the largest activity of the ESEA Title 1 Program. Checking library cards for overdue books is Mr. Wilma Beveridge, a teacher aide. Teacher aide Mrs. Betty Smith spends much of her time checking attendance records. Mrs. Wilma Owens waits for the copy machine to produce a book report requested by an English teacher. She often works as cashier at cafeteria. Looking through the library- files for a list of non-fiction material are teacher aides Kathy Gordon and Mrs. Twila Grattan who work part time 18 Joanne Smay.

Stressing the pre-vocational aspect of special education. Richard Pasierb explains to his class the importance of proper procedure in job application. Individuality Stressed In the special education department the program is basically the same as other departments. It is geared to each person s ability and background and is covered in a slow, non-pressured pace to insure that suf- ficient time is available for each student to receive enough attention and help to meet his needs. “In their program, students are presented a ‘prevocational curriculum designed to give them the basic tools to attend vocational and occupational programs at Portage (boys) and Ebensburg (girls).’ (Mr. Richard Pasierb) 19 Language Arts Department Initiates Mini-course Program Spurred by the weakness of the traditional approach to language arts, the English department, after extensive research and revision, initiated a mini-course program. Flexibility in scheduling, freedom in selection of materials, and teacher preference in staffing characterized the program. In the mini-course structure the students experienced more freedom. The number and variety of courses offered increased to as many as twenty-five and varied from Seman- tics to Broadway Musicals. Once the students satisfied a limited number of requirements, he was free to select courses of his own interest taught by a teacher who chose to teach them. In short, the program matched student interest and ability with teacher preference. For the first time seniors, juniors and sophomores were put together in a classroom. There were those who felt the sophomores could not compete with the upperclassmen, but others felt differently. “Stu- dent performance is independently achieved; it doesn’t make a signifi- cant difference in the long run. (Mr. Henry Polasko) In a survey it was found that most students felt the change was for the better. The change of teachers every six weeks was perhaps the greatest reason for liking the mini- courses. “It was great not to be stuck with the same teacher all year—this could be quite a drag.

Adjusting to the new English mini-courses proved a bit hectic for her. “For the students, the program had many advantages, and for that reason I liked it very much (Carol Wess) M rs.

Much Practice, A Requisite “Learning a foreign language is not only a mental activity, but a physical one. It is a little like learn- ing to play the piano or learning to hit a baseball It requires a great deal of practice (Paul Robinson) Spanish and German teachers made use of headsets and tape re- corder console in familiarizing stu- dents with the special phonetic sounds of the foreign language. Visual aids in the form of charts, films, and maps proved valuable assets to the foreign language teachers.

At after-school meet- ings, committee members of the de- partment formulated, organized, and designed 24 twelve-week courses which are to be implement- ed in the 1974-75 school term. Stu- dents will have at least two choices in each of the three divisions during their high school years. Utilizing results from a survey, teachers tried to incorporate student wishes into the new social studies curriculum. “History, like any other course, should be more practical, and a stu- dent should be able to use that material in his everyday living. (Mr. Victor Balog) In the modular set-up. the teachers will take a more matter-of-fact approach to infor- mation covered by the traditional method, supplementing it with de- tails on new aspects of history. This newly devised program will also offer several courses dealing with the student and the law. Above Sara Marie Honadle checks Beth Hull’s World Cultures assignment, a map of Asia.

Initiated on a full credit basis, the computer science course updated the curriculum. It has given our students an opportunity to see another field that wasn’t available to them up to this time. (Mr. Regis Endler) With the installation of the NCR Time Sharing terminal, math and science departments were tied more closely together. Simple contact and sign-off operations and basic instruc- tions prompted students to learn fundamental electronics and com- puter mathematics in an experimen- tal and interesting way. Lessons dealt with logical procedures in the solution of a problem and en- abled students to write useful pro- grams in the areas of science and mathematics. Faculty members encouraged stu- dents to develop their computer skills during free time. Individuals who mastered the more complex procedures found it rewarding in solving those difficult math pro- blems. Computer wizardry reduced the chances of mathematical and mechanical error, giving them more time to spend on theory 26 Left: Stacie Potchak and Vickie Wirfel seek the help of George Pettorini. biology and micro- hkilogy teacher, in determining the amount of bac- terial growth on the slide.

Gestafax Scanner Added to Business Department One of the newest types of copy- ing equipment now being employed in the business world, the Gestafax Scanner, was added this past year to the array of machines used by the business education department. The Scanner, which cost approximately $2300, burns a picture, design, or writing into a stencil. The Gestafax replaces the time consuming mimeo- scope, used until this year for sten- ciling pictures and designs. The machine was utilized in all depart- ments of education. “The use of the new equipment that has been received into the department will definitely help business education students who compete for better jobs in the business world. (Frank Krentz) Other machines purchased this year included the Microfilm Reader Printer and the Dukane Sound Strip Projector. With aid of equipment, teachers were able to acquaint the students with the advancements of the office machines, thus preparing them for jobs in the fast-advancing business offices. 28 1 ‘ft Business education teacher Bernice Mock checks Dan Krcstar's assignment She also acts is advisor for Montage typists.

Projects of students choices reflected their personal ambitions and abilities. Cookies, cakes, and pastries were no longer the major concern of home economics. We tried to have the girls concentrate mainly on tech- nique rather than on specific pro- ducts. (Kathleen Honan) Wood and metal shops provided students with the chance to learn the use of many types of tools and machines while working on their chosen projects.

Included in the pro- gram were the parachute, parallel bars, the horses, tumbling, and the trampoline. “More spring provided by the new tramp awering enabled the girls to learn more difficult stunts.” (Penny Matlin) Tumbling was the major concern of the boys’ gymnastic classes. In addition to developing muscle coor- dination and other skills, these exercises also gave students an en- joyable means of releasing tensions. Charles Sponsky takes daily role call.

By letting stu- dents observe the dangers of opera- ting an automobile, we hoped to make them more careful drivers. (Elias Kudrick) Required of every student, safety education classes were held three days a week. Areas of study covered by class discussion included the parts of the engine, proper main- tenance and care of the automobile, and the effects that road conditions have on driving. Traffic signs, the point system, license applications were presented to the classes in form of group demonstrations. 33 Driving instructor William I.ee checks Mike Bodenschatz’s knowledge of the instrument panel before taking him on his first driving lesson. School Lunch Program Hit by Inflation Hit hard by inflation was the school lunch program. “Because of rising food costs, it took more time to plan meals as well as to serve well balanced and nutritious lunches within the allotted budget. (Hen- rietta Liska) Increased reimbursement for lunch program by the Federal Go- vernment helped to some extent Also a large participation of the stu- dent body in purchasing their lunches proved helpful in keeping the costs down. Besides serving daily lunches the cafeteria staff also served special lunches, such as the All Sports Banquet and the Teachers-in-Ser- vice day meals.

(Joe Kovalich) Among the major projects under- taken by the custodians were the resurfacing and repairing of the school roof and the fixing of the auditorium seats. Besides the daily chores of taking care of sewage plant and cleaning the classrooms and the cafeteria, the custodians had added seasonal work, such as cutting grass and get- ting the football field in shape during the summer and shoveling and plowing snow in the winter. Many other unforeseen jobs came up throughout the year. 35 Pete DiMarino plows the front area of the school prior to the arrival of the buses Snow plowing always added a heavier work load to an already busy work schedule.

Activities— Alter Routine, Add Vitality Participating in organizations provided students with a change from daily routine. Junior jaycees. Teen Board. Leo Club, and the humanitarian club stressed the importance of commu- nity service and the satisfaction of helping others. In bringing together students with the same interest, the ski club, var- sity club, and Spanish Honor Society helped to develop their skills and interests. By taking part in the band, chorus, and class plays, students had the satisfaction of providing enter- tainment for others. Newspaper and yearbook staffs learned the meaning of real planning and responsibility as they strove to make the results of their efforts acceptable to the stu- dent body. Other activities emphasized in- dividual achievement. Serving as representatives of the school, stu- dent council and National Honor Society members each worked to prove that they were worthy of the responsibility placed upon them. While building self-confidence, the forensic team and the Scholastic Quiz team gave members a chance to compete for personal recognition. Activities often developed a sense of responsibility and co-operation. By joining one or more of these clubs or organizations, students expressed their interest in improving their community and school. It was this attitude of involvement and cooper- ation which made extracurricular activities a vibrant part of school life.

Forester Car Wash, Pizza and Candy Sales Aid Budget Getting an early start in financing the 1974 Forester, the twenty-member staff held a car wash on August 14 at the University Park Shopping Center. This fund raiser was followed by a pizza sale in September and the annu- al patron drive in October. November was highlighted by a campaign for the sale of the 74 book with the price set at $6 00. A down payment of $4.00 was necessary with the balance due in January. However the majority of students paid in full when ordering their yearbook. During the month of March, the staff along with the Montage staff combined their efforts to sell $900 worth of Easter Candy. Profits were also realized from the sale of graduation announcements and surplus yearbook pic- tures. “The objective of the fund raisers was not only to make money but to keep the student body aware of the progress of the Forester staff (Sheila Kauffman) ‘‘Support the yearbook staff'’’ is the cry of staffers Kim Law and Diane Soohy as they solicit incoming cars at the University Park Shopping Center on August 14 Their cry was heeded by 108 cars among which was the Volkswagon van which staffers Sheila Kauff- man and Karen Ohler industriously clean 54 Copy editor Cindy Hudson and jeanine Jacoby watch over the shoulder of junior Bev Celmer as she learns character count in preparation for headlines 55 Getting a hall show case ready for the annual yearbook sale are business managers Kim Gearhart, Jackie Kensinger and Joan Fdrier.

Individual instruc- tion was provided by faculty advisors from eastern United States. It was decided that a change in the general appear- ance of the Forester was necessary but at the same time we realized that we must start with a few' changes and gradually work toward a modern style. (Debbie Kel- ler) The cover was changed from the traditional green to a gold. Also the use of process and spot color, along with a unique headline design in each of the sections added variety and style. Quotes were used throughout the entire edition to afford a means of unification and student body involvement.

Teachers and administrators also received copies, and each month approximately 200 students bought newspapers. Montage staff members did not stop with just one new renovation By adding the Letters to the Editor column, they encouraged reader communication through the school media This column, along with the regular editorials provoked several controversial discussions throughout the school. Response to the editor's column showed that stu- dents were interested in the problems of the school and were willing to take an active part in solving them.

Still. Still, And So It Was, Turini s Canon, Legend, and “Carol of the Bells. The junior high portion of the show included three selections. Junior and senior high choirs combined to perform Do You Hear What I Hear? To involve the audience in the spirit of the season the program closed with a Christmas carol community sing-a-long.

New uniforms acquired by the girls gave an additional touch of color and variety to the units. “We tried to make not only our uniforms, but also each of our movements complement the band s steps. Still, we wanted an element of surprise in our routines. (Gay Stravinsky) With profits from a bake sale held in the summer at the Salix Superette, the colorguard bought eight green and gold plaid jumpers, matching shorts and gold body shirts. Members of the flagtwirling squad held their summer bakesale at Deyarmin’s Market to raise money for their gold sweaters and green jumpers trimmed in gold. Both groups also supplemented their financial needs by chancing off silverware and a $25 savings bond. 75 Junior twirlers Unda Fcdore.

Diane Campitell. Carolyn Werfel, Carol Smiach, and Nancy Crum attending the Pioneer Cheerleading Camp at the Seven Springs Resort Area New' cheers, new ideas, vari- ous skits, and new techniques were all part of the W'eek long workshop. The girls were taught gymnastics by college personnel but by far the most knowledge came from working w ith other cheerleaders from all over the state. ” It’s really neat to see some different and original ideas incorporated into old cheers. (Nancy Crum) When the six girls returned from camp it became their job to teach the fourteen member squad all the new cheers and stunts which they acquired. In order to pre- pare for the fall sport season the varsity met twice weekly during the months of June and July and then at- tended the two week summer camp held at the high school.

Varsity Club Membership Open To all School Athletes Encouraging, promoting, rewarding—the varsity club endeavored to bring athletics to the attention of the students. Any boy or girl participating in a school sport was eligible for membership in the var- sity club. To stimulate participation in sports, the club offered sweaters to all competitors and rewarded athletes who lettered in a sport with jackets. 'Choosing a representative from each sport, the varsity club formed an executive council to discuss athletic matters as a whole and to help plan the All- Sports Banquet held in May in the school cafeteria. (Mr. Fred Vespa) Fund raisers for the club included a pen sale and a candy sale. Students crowded the gym to watch a bas- ketball game between the Keystone Kops and the FH faculty and a preliminary game between varsity club and the Kops B team.

Sports— Stresses Team, Individual Offering something for everyone’s needs and physical capabilities, a varied sports' program involved a large number of students. Each sea- son offered two sports, one which was predominately concerned with team effort while the other stressed individual performance. Football, basketball, and baseball were three varsity sports requiring overall team- work; cross country, golf, wrestling, and track boasted individual as well as team winners. Hours of practice prepared teams for competition as the students strove for excellence. Sometimes the practice paid off, sometimes it didn’t But here again, the partici- pants learned to share equally in the outcome. Aside from promoting physical fitness, the sports program offered other benefits. Leadership and self- confidence were acquired by many athletes. Recognition for success and sometimes a scholarship for those who excelled were awarded to some. With each game or meet the parti- cipants realized more and more that their attitude was perhaps, the most important aspect of the sport Pep talks before the confrontations built confidence and gave the athletes a winning outlook. Victory, of course, was easily recognized, but the stu- dents learned that the losses also had to be accepted. It was this atti- tude of good sportsmanship that made the sports program worthwhile and beneficial.

And to all his frustration. i Mr. Sponsky was rate thwarts facedui,hthcp™- blem of finding a replacement for Dave Plummer, starting quarterback for the past two years, who was unable to play due to an auto accident. However, Coach Sponsky and his staff y-v began summer camp on August 21 ttangeI with determination. He showed con- fidence in the 45 boys who turned out for the initial practice session. Seven lettermen were among the group who put in a gruelling two weeks of drills. Daily practices started with the usual funda- mental drills and warm-up exercises. Conditioning, agility, blocking, and sled drills followed. Part of the after- noon was allotted for skull practice. Our strong points are a good attitude and a fighting spirit. The boys have the potential and did a good job against Conemaugh Township in a scrimmage game.

Underclassmen— Calmly Relax, Enjoy Free Time To find ways to utilize their spare time, juniors and sophomores be- came involved in school activities, outside hobbies, and other pastimes. Many took an active part in school organizations. Band, chorus, play- cast members, participants in var- ious clubs, and those who took part in any of the sports practiced for hours after school and often in the evenings. Projects and money mak- ing drives for almost every organiza- tion required members to work on Saturdays in canvassing their neigh- borhoods. Underclassmen also used their leisure time to develop special hob- bies. Some enjoyed skating, jog- ging, or photography. Others re- laxed by sewing, painting, or read- ing. Many just curled up in front of the television. Y'ear-round sporting events oc- cupied the Friday evenings for many underclassmen, giving them a break and a means to socialize after a week in school. Weekends found the stu- dents at the bowling alleys or local movies. Still others squeezed into a booth at Burger King or gathered at the Buekhom. By far, the most common pastime was just getting together to chat. Students exchanged ideas with their fellow classmates and learned to accept viewpoints different from their own. This talking with friends, more than other pastimes, helped the underclassmen to develop atti- tudes toward almost any topic imaginable. It also helped them to be more understanding.

Neatness, originality, appearance and over- all effects were the criteria of the judges. 145 Class of 75 Approximately 10% of the junior class became proud owners of FHHS rings in the latter part of September. L.G. Balfour Company made the rings, the design of which has become standard. There are various Receives insignia, significant to the area, carved on the ring. In the center is an emerald stone which is avail- able in small, medium or large. The class, with one exception, purchased the ten carat gold ring rather than sterling silver.

Below Dot Jones looks through various catalogs in search of schools offering study in X-ray technology. Seniors— Attend College, Seek Employment About half of the '74 class will be furthering their education either at colleges, technical schools or nursing schools. Many seniors had a hard time deciding where to apply. The majority will attend the local col- lege, the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. When students were asked why they chose a particular school, some said they wanted to live at home. Other answers in- cluded financial reasons, the availa- bility of a certain academic program or a scholarship offer. Once a senior had chosen a col- lege, he sometimes encountered problems. Several applied to a main campus only to find they had been accepted at a branch campus. Some found that they should have studied just a bit harder during their sopho- more and junior years Others found their college board scores were too low. For those not college bound, job hunting will be in store. A few se- niors have part time jobs and upon graduation, they intend to continue on a full time basis. Others have applied at various places in hopes of having a choice of several opportuni- ties. Many will seek employment where on-the-job training will be available. Regardless of whether seniors choose to further their education or to seek employment, their attitudes toward their upcoming studies or future jobs will determine their de- gree of success and contentment in whatever they choose.

Break Routine At the start of the school year, each room was assigned an escape route to be used in case of fire. Scheduled monthly, the drills stressed smoothness and speed. With colder weather came in- door fire drills, an innovation this year. Students did not evacuate the building but merely reported to the for Seniors auditorium or the gymnasium. Seniors didn’t mind the inter- ruption at all. “It's a good way to get out of school for a few minutes.’ (Fran Josephson) Even some of the faculty appreciated the break.

Micro-Biology Many seniors had the experi- ence of individual exploration while employing laboratory techniques in the micro-biology program. Seniors looked forward to the course. It was very interesting and was loads of fun working on your own. (Vickie Wirfel) Stresses Operating in groups of two, the amateur bacteriologists innoculated tubes, made several types of stains, and studied organisms found in their own mouths.

They also showed films pertinent to their schools. “For some, these meetings proved helpful in making decisions.

Seniors attending meetings ranged from three to as many as fifty. At the conclusion of the discussion each student received a catalog and brochures of the col- lege, and. if interested, an appli- cation form.

They spent approximately 18 weeks in each of the two major divisions, sewing and cooking. This gave the girls an overall view of the essen- tials of homemaking. Find Home Ec In the sewing course each girl was on her own. Students chose their own projects, ranging from dresses, jackets, and hats to rugs, afghans, and pillow cases. I like embroidering.

(Anna Marie Puto) Worthwhile In the cooking course, the girls concentrated on the tech- niques and special skills involved in food preparation, making bread, cookies, jellies, and the like.

It dealt with using this new method of elections when voting for student council mem- bers. The results of the referendum showed that most students favored the move.

(Dan Myers) Now that another year is over we can stop and remi- nisce about our achievements and our failures. The seniors ended aN twelve-year process of growing, ma- turing. and interacting Juniors skeptically anticipate next year and their chance to lead, while sophomores eagerly assume their role of belonging. Each student through involvement contributed ideas and talents to education, activities, and athletics. The faculty and administration worked hand in hand to achieve a de- gree of self-satisfaction and a sense of pride in the student body. The attitudes of every individual re- flected the overall school atmosphere. Now, seniors must adjust their attitudes to meet a world of changing values and the underclassmen must find an attitude of optimism in these changing times.

We were busy interacting, getting involved, but still we saved time to be a unique indi- vidual. As the years pass, all the unhappy or unimpor- tant events will fade out of our memories but the more meaningful and significant experiences will stay with us forever. As Forester 74 closes we leave you with your mem- ories of by gone days and wish only the best for you in the future. Remember it’s all in your attitude; see what your attitude can do!
