Picturesque Scenery Highlights The Face Of The Earth The faces of the earth experience changes throughout the year. The midwest including Granite City is a perfect example of the changing seasons. We view a rebirth of our surroundings in the spring and a gradual decline during the autumn months. During the winter a slow- down in activities is present, while the pace is quickened in the sum- mer ' s warmth. Our life style is dependent upon the face of the earth. This past sum- mer the drought affected our lives considerably. In Madison County the lack of rain caused a twenty-five per cent drop in agricultural pro- duction. Farmers without an irriga- tion system suffered. The water level, dropping well below average has slowed barge traffic on the Mississippi. A move for conservation and ecology has blossomed in the 70 ' s. Churches and schools in Granite City conduct paper drives on the weekends. This generation is prov- ing their concern over litter by par- ticipating in Keep America Clean drives. People believe that the face of the Earth has to be preserved for generations to come. 8

Faces In Sports Constantly Express Our Competitive Spirit Competition is the basis of our so- ciety and of sports. Viewing the Sum- mer Olympics is evidence of our in- volvement in sports. The summer games also signified turmoil with sev- eral African nations and Taiwan with- drawing because of political differ- ences. Dominating men ' s swimming and boxing, the U.S. won 34 gold, 35 silver, and 25 bronze medals. From St. Louis the Spinks brothers, Leon and Michael, won gold medals in boxing, and Bruce Jenner became the world’s best all-around athlete when he cap- tured the decathlon medal. Locally, the Granite South Warrior soccer team had a super 23-1 -1 record going into the state playoffs in Chi- cago. The Warriors and Coach Gene Baker are maintaining quite a tradition as they have advanced to state com- petition three of the last four seasons. After being beaten twice by cross- town rival North in football, the War- riors stunned the Steelers with a 14-10 setback. With the Warrior win, the Granite Rock trophy came to South for the 1976-77 year. In girls’ sports this fall the field hockey team zipped through the sub- sectional, defeating the favored Gran- ite North team, 1-0. To advance to state competition the girls needed to defeat Edwardsville, but their hopes were dashed by a 2-1 loss. Thus, sports play an important role, not only nationally but also locally, in improving competition and sportsmanship.
