But astronaut Neil Armstrong's a decade ago, CBS found itself for space. the In a school of 2,200, a student is con- ryi looking for space. Lockers are and have to be shared with a mate. Buses are always crowded. ng to walk down the hallway during period without bumping into is an impossibility. The library BS Students Seek Space For Themselves is jammed every morning and books crowd the cafeteria tables so that a stu- dent must almost eat standing straight up. Yet, students do find ways of stretch- ing out. The courtyard is in use almost year-round. Somehow students find a more relaxing atmosphere under the au- burn trees in the fall, in the crisp, snowy air in the winter, and in the cool, green grass in the spring. Benches that line the hallways provide space for private con- templation over a difficult school assign- ment or sharing an amusing story with a sys Q' friend. Through open lunch passes, early arrivals and early releases, upperclass- men are no longer restricted to the school building for the entire day. But space at Glenbrook South is not only represented in the physical sense. Amid the noise and confusion that often constitutes school day after school day, students are learning. Opinions may vary as to what students are learning, but most agree that a good part of it is bene- ficial and that the high school years are remembered with a sense of accomplish- ment. A small greenhouse plant looks for space, away from its neighbors. Each plant is under the care of a student, and Murphy must have the golden touch. , , Through the leaves of a library plant, students Mrs. Dianne Kelly and lvlike Sheasby go over the are seen preparing to practice their typing skills. afternoon archery class shooting scores.

Although homework is a regular part of a high schooler's routine, keeping up with assignments takes quite a bit of spirit. Lisa Nordgren finishes up a part of last night's homework. ' 9 Ends Decade Cf Spirit ociologists are always fitting dec ades into categories. Roaring twenties, depression thirties, war year forties, rock and roll fifties and re- bellious sixties are eachisynonymouswith a decade that distinguishes it from the others. As the seventies fade away and the eighties come into view, what will the decade that we grew up in be called? The sixties ended with a man landing on the moon. Neil Armstrong, after his historic flight, said The Apollo fspacej program demonstrated how really dedi- cated the American can be after he has accepted a challenge. The entire project team would absolutely not stop working. Everywhere you looked, people were working late at night and across the weekends, usually without pay, as if their life-or, more importantly, the life of their country-depended on it. They be- lieved in their goal, and they knew every man had to give more than his share to make that goal a reality. Hopefully, we can agree as well on other goals and see that kind of American spirit more of- ten. That American Spirit characterized the seventies and those at Glenbrook South felt it. The ability to laugh at our- selves, spur on winning teams and take top honors academically, all character- ized the last year of the seventies. It was our year in the decade of spirit. Yolanda Curry and freshman cheerleader Lisa Watson show their spirit by attending a GBS pep rally and participating in the disco dancing. Open1ngf7
