Science department head, Mr. Al Morgan, discusses the head- way being made on the new science wing with fellow science teacher Mrs. Margaret Richwine over a nutritious lunch pre- pared by competent cooks. Some of the many facilities available during the lunch hour are a study room, a snack bar, and the use of the library. Unless the weather conditions are unusually bad, the patio is also a ready resource for enjoying the fresh air and numerous flower beds. A hall where only minutes before students shoved, walked, and pushed, is left only with the echo of the slammed lockers, laughter, and conversation. A hall once over-populated with noise as well as people and laughter is now barren, and a feeling of quiet lonliness persists. The rain, the patio, and a puddled reflection form a misty, moody, and maudlin frame for the art classes as they develop their talents in a colorful and artistic environment. Spirit, Spirit . . . Spontaneous and rousing yells burst forth from the pep club and major- ettes as the caped and gloved figures fight vocally for their Flashes who fight physically for a victory to be shared by all.

Flashes Amid the psychedelic cluster and confusion of room 113, an air of studious calm pervades between Caranita Kesterson and Phil Utterback as they consult a variety of yearbook references in order to improve the current Flashback. A new student joining the ranks of Flashes fans this year is junior Becky Barnes, who seems to be more intent upon her locker than upon letterman Glen Sutherland. A sure-fire formula for success is a thorough understanding of high school chemistry. On the left, peering through the un- fashionable but necessary safety glasses is Daria Mason, who appears dubious about the result of her experiment. . . . are more than just people. They are hard working, laughing, and loyal fanatics of life. They are Flashes — moving like Flashes and reaching for the impossible with an electrifying and victorious grasp. Flashes Follow in the pathways of the successful. Yet, as they follow, they leave footsteps for poster- ity. In the home, the church, the community. Flashes follow the wise, and set examples for the wise. They are a laughing, diligent and successful group, brimming with the unconquerable hope of youth, yet respectful of the age they follow. Flashes Follow Thru in everything from the hard core studying for final exams to the emotion filled victory for their team. The Flashes Follow Thru in anything they attempt. They begin with their heads down as they charge into the challenge and emerge with head high — wiser and benefiting from the experience. Countless hours are spent in the library as students prepare their term papers. Above are Kathy Allen and Larry Thames, cramming that voluminous amount of work into those few very precious hours before the first draft must be completed.

Floats, Game, and Queen Capture Approval Half-time became the climax of the homecoming game as a gala parade of class floats circled the track. Freezing fans eagerly watched as the court was presented and the crowning of Queen Connie Allen took place. Tension mounted even higher as students awaited the announcement of the win- ning float. The momentous evening was capped with a victory over the Chartrand Rams. Taking the traditional journey around the football field. Queen Connie helps add to festivities during half time. Randy Tucker fades into the background after presenting red roses and a crown to the Queen. Her escort is Ron Rockey. Finally breaking the tradition of having losing floats, seniors captured first place in this year ' s competition. Give ' Em Defeet was the theme which was portrayed in motion. The ram fell for- ward after being kicked by the Flash. Flashes fans brave the cold weather as they bundle up to watch another homecoming become history. Enjoying half time, those in the press box have the advantage of the best seats. Char- trand Rams could not contend with the mighty F.C. team and had to mark a defeat on their record. Students were entertained afterwards in the gym with the annual dance. Providing the music were the Idle Few. Mike Dougherty received the honor of king and was crowned by Queen Connie.
