student life WP. MP PMO 00 - Doin’ our thing. Student life means whatever we do when we’re not busy with clubs, sports, and classes. It includes our city’s centennial and the national bicentennial our country celebrated. The Auburn Fair, convocations, and the Little 500 provide a “time out’’ from classes for some relaxation and fun. Even state and national events are topics of our con¬ versations. Patricia Hearst ’s trial, Jimmy Hoffa’s dis¬ appearance, and the primary elections with Ford, Reagein, Wallace, Carter, and Bayh all effect us. Student life also means what we did in the five days we had off school for snow and ice. One weekend in January 12 inches of snow fell causing drifts three feet deep on some country roads. So no matter what we do, all year long student life means doin’ our thing. top: FLUFF FAD-afros need Little care, but Kathy Shaw, Mike Wilcox, and Charlene Sims teike time to groom them, middle: BICENTENNIAL SALUTE-Suzy Kleber and Homecoming queen candidate Tammy Kelham ride in the sophomore horse-drawn cart saluting America, bottom: GIRLISH SONGSTERS—Betty Kay Roehm, Jenni Johnson, and Linda Michaels sing their off-key version of “Silver Bells” in the opening scene of the Senior Play, “Scrooge .

GARRETT HAS A HAPPY BIRTHDAY Garrett got a one year head start over the rest of the country in birthday celebrations as Garrett had its Centennial July 1-6, 1975, exactly one year before the U.S. Bicentennial. Preparing for the celebration was a community project, as almost the whole town helped in some way. A mini park was created, business windows and fire hydrants were painted, and a general clean¬ up was carried out. Mrs. Margue¬ rite Smith was chairperson of the General Committee. During the week there was special entertainment every day. There were street dances and concerts played by the Army Band and the Garrett Community Band. Also, a contest took place to determine which “Brother of the Bush’’ had grown the best beard or mustache. For the women, a contest was held for the best Centennial dress. Throughout the week the business district was lined with carnival rides, games, and booths. On July 3, a Homecoming was held in the Bateman Gym. All former Garrett students were invited. The Clipper published a Cen¬ tennial pamphlet and a Centennial issue of the newspaper. On the last day, the celebration was ended with a giant party up¬ town including a king-size cake with enough pieces for everyone and 100 candles. 8 Centennial
