T Had to sit on a trashcan because you couldn ' t find a seat? How Many Times Have You— Wished the gym had bleachers on both sides? Had to chase Mr. Cox through a crowded parking lot? Had to steal a chair from the teachers table, and come back to find that someone lifted you rolls? 4 Wished that the Cafeteria had traffic lights?

Everywhere You Look, What Do You See But People, People, And More People? Enthusiasm is the name of the game. Overcrowding keeps people from seeing. What are you looking for, Bill?

Overcrowding makes people do strange things. The enormous growth of our school has one source, people. These students had two sources in most cases, parents. These parents came from many places and for many reasons, but their arrival caused G. H. S. to grow along with Gloucester Coun¬ ty. This relation was hardly a coincidence. The continuing growth of Gloucester County is largely due to its acceptance as a residential area. As housing for Newport News becomes scarce, more and more people are coming to Gloucester to live and yet work in Newport News. Gloucester is rapidly becoming a bedroom county. The growth of the county is evidenced by such beautiful landmarks as Grant City, and the Gloucester Point Apartments. So far the main deterent to growth has been the continuance of the toll on the Coleman Bridge. Rumor has it that the toll will come off sometime in the future, which may increase the school ' s problems. Up here I have the advantage. I can see where I ' m going above the crowd . 5
