THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW What do the numbers 248 and 163 mean? Well, in the world of GV trivia, 248 is approximately the number of seeds in a GV cafe cantclopc, and 163 is approximately the number of doorknobs in Golden Valley High School. if you throw up your arms, and wonder why anyone would possibly want to know these vital facts, then you obviously don’t have the GV Trivia Buff mentality (knowing useless bits of information just to kick around). But if. on the other hand, you found the above information mind-boggling and provocative, here is a tidbit the teachers in the school would just as soon keep to themselves: the average age of teachers in Golden Valley High is (censored). Or how about the winter of’77-’78, when we broke the 75 year-old (close to the age mentioned above) record by staying more than 52 straight days under freezing?

Neat shot, neat chick • • • t • • t • • • • • fft • • Another year passes Another year passes ... The leaves arc green again on the trees, with life, short shorts, and T-shirts abounding everywhere. It is a vibrant lime, with a summer of adventures ahead. But it is also a time of goodbyes, a time to take a minute and relive the memories, of the last year, for some, the last thirteen for others. Colorful trees and the smell of smoke, the first busride of the year, all the snappy new clothes, meeting familiar faces, football cheers. The leaves falling, the ground white, hot breath freezes to smoke, numb hands, cold feet, cold classrooms, warm faces. Skiing, vacation, the few tanned faces are sore thumbs, hockey slapshots, studying hard, forgetting, finals, weekend, grades. Then drip, drip, dripping and running, from icicles to pools to streams. Wet ground, mud. sprouting green spots, a light breeze blows your hair, baseball, convertibles. Macdonald’s, grass stains, auto shop, oil stains, open campus, legal or not. short shorts. T-shirts, tanned legs, tanned backs, trying to study, finals, friends, goodbyes. Another year passes. The leaves arc green again on the trees
