‘| Ran Out of Gas Mis: —— The year 1974 brought crises which affected the lifestyles of GHS students. Two important issues were Watergate and the energy crisis. Opinions expressed by GHS students included these quotes about Watergate. ‘‘Water- gate couldn’t bother me because I'm apathetic towards govern- ment anyway.’’ — Valeska Ric- cus. “| used to think that if peo- ple wanted something they would : go out and work for it. | now feel q that the way to succeed is to cheat and try not to get caught.” — Wayne Rowe. ‘I feel Nixon should be impeached mainly be- cause of Watergate. How can a president run a country and not know what was happening with his own staff.’’ — Julie Parker. ‘My confidence in our form of government was shaken and at the same time restored by Water- gate. At first, | thought there was no hope for the system, then | decided that there will be a | vast expanse left for my gene- } ration to improve upon.” Kevin Derrow. As these quotes imply stu- dents could really relate to the energy crisis. “Il couldn’t find gas yesterday when | ran out. | looked in three towns.”’ — Tony Blomeke. ‘“‘My parents have lim- ited my travels with the car. | pay for gas now.”’ — Bobbie Finn. “The energy crisis made each person aware of the fuel con- sumption problems facing the world today. Many were skeptical of the situation, but usually con- piled with measures instilled to help save gas. Perhaps the energy crisis had a brighter side to it, as it brought together the American people in joint cause.’’ — Steve Zeider 6 energy crisis, watergate
