Gateway Olympians r lu. 32 ateway, Gateway, Gateway 1 High! How much do you really know about your school? Do you know the school song? Do you know where we got our school colors, mascot, and name? By the time Gateway opened its great doors in 1973, everything had been decided. According to Mr. Joe Burton, a group of students got together in 1972, a year before opening, and decided that we would be forever known as the Gateway Olympians. This was also how we got our school colors, Gold and Orange. Our mascot has developed continually since our opening. Sr. Tami Jaquith described our mascot as actually visual. She said, The Olympian stands for the winner, it stands for the man running with the torch. Since Gateway was born, it has grown at an unbelievable rate. Mr. William Ott has been here since Gateway opened. He said, The difference in the students between then and now is that there are more of them. We started with 1,300 pupils in 1973, and at last count we had grown to an enormous 2,587. Hey Gateway, you're not getting older, you're getting better. 30 Gateway Olympians if .3 It , 2 'E G -lv ,-,,-, 1. 4.711 fag , tb, ,. v . m.:g,g- -.1 Will'- .af .- f, V f'.1 -F15 1 ,. f H ?' 5?731iET . -fb. f F lu 'ir

o Gpposites Attract ? however most people were picky about the people they saw. As Jr. Lynn Hill screamed, I look for a good personality in guys, but a great body doesn't hurt. High school students were concerned about making a good impression on their friends by whom they dated. Various questions about dating arose in the minds of students. Such as the decision between single and double dating. Another was the old standby concerning money. Sr. Kevin Dando testified, I always pay, it is sort of a set down rule. But if a girl wants to pay I won't argue. . Gateway students seemed to date more as friends and were too young to get involved, although a few serious couples were seen walking around. Jr. Mike Lynch and Soph. Jackie Christensen, Srs. Felice Sochor and Greg Lambert, and Jr. Helen Smith and Sr. Mike Pierce, were a few of the couples involved with longer relation- ships. We all had a enjoyable year of dating and as most Gateway students noted, I am never going to forget my high school dates. xlmost everyone likes to date, Couples 29
