Population twenty two hundred and twelve,” yelled the conductor as a train filled with salesmen entered the train station. With these salesmen was a man by the name of Professor Harold Hill. Hill was a con artist whose profession was starting boys bands based on the “think system”. The unusual thing about the professor was that he couldn’t play a note himself. As Hill trys to get the towns money, he becomes acquainted with Marian Paroo, the local librarian and music teacher, and slowly falls in love. Marian soon learns of HiU’s plot but keeps it to herself. The rest of the town becomes suspicious when Hill starts trouble over a pool table.

FORD AND REAGAN BATTLE FOR VOTES One of the most outstanding world events was the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst. Hearst, a news¬ paper heiress, was allegedly ab¬ ducted and held captive by the SLA. Patty was finally discovered and convicted of bank robbery. Her defense caused great controversy: was she brainwashed or not? ALF-CIO leader, Jimmy Hoffa, was also kidnapped, but he was never found. Spring was a time for primary elections. Jimmy Carter surprised the nation by leading the Demo¬ cratic primary. Reagan and Ford fought a tough battle for Repub¬ lican delegates. For the first time, a major city went bankrupt. New York City declared its bankruptcy and re¬ ceived federal aid. Pet rocks, mood rings, afros, and CB radios were among the fads to hit. The biggest movie was “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’’. above: HEEEEEEEEY-Displaying their Fonzie t-shirts and thongs, Sarah Mavity and Lori Babbit imitate Fonzie’s famous greeting, left: FINALLY 18 Voting for the first time, John Blomeke examines a sample ballot before entering the real booth.
