We hope it will help you remember the spirit shown throughout the year. i Granite Falls High School- Granite Falls, Washington spmir SPIRIT is only an idea. It is not a material thing that you can hold in your hand or see at a glance. Instead, spirit is an emotion that is perceived inside the individual; a response obtained deep within the soul. Spirit can be an attitude of enthusiasm that diffuses throughout the crowd, inspiring all toward one common goal. This is the spirit that brings us together and makes Granite Falls High School a special place. Because spirit has a variety of dimensions, it has different meanings to each individual The spirit of the Freshmen helped them to endure the trials of Initiation. 2 Supporting and defending our team requires a lot of spirit. Here, Coach Camp refuses to back down. Just as our players are honored for keeping the spirits high, so is “Ti , our mascot, who always attended our pep assemblies and some games. During half time, the crowd eagerly tossed coins into the blanket for the March of Dimes. During the Christmas season, several Santa Clauses visited our school bubbling with the Christmas spirit. Washing towels and washing cars was dirty work but the girls always went about it with a spirit of fun. The Car Smash, sponsored by the Lettermen’s Club, brought out a free-swinging spirit. Spirit is not always so obvious. Sometimes it becomes necessary for the girls to get on their knees and beg the boys to go to the Tolo. Many students were seen in the library concentrating during their game of chess. This game proved to be a popular pastime for those students who had study halls. These are a few of the examples of spirit that was evident in our school this year. But most of all, the spirit is in YOU the students of Granite Falls High School. 5 The Associated Student Body sponsored many activities which brought out the spirit of the entire school. Among these activities was the A.S.B. Car- nival, in which a number of clubs and classes parti- cipated. Proceeds from each booth went to the organization that sponsored the booth. A slave Day was held in March. At this time, students left their classes to do odd jobs for the townspeople. On another day, many of the students were dis- missed from seventh period to take part in a parade. The purpose of the parade was to remind the citizens to vote for the bond levy on the following day. The A.S.B. inspired the entire student body with the Christmas spirit. The classes’ donations to the Christmas Basket Drive were so generous that we were able to give out ten baskets. At the Christ- mas assembly, a contest was held to see which class could present the best Santa Claus. The faculty also entered the contest and they won. In the spring, the A.S.B. sponsored the W.S.U. „ Drama Department in a Shakesperian production. Under the supervision of Mr. Raab, the student council organized these activities with the co- operation of the executive board. The students urging the citizens to vote. A.S.B. There were Santas everywhere at the Christmas assembly. The A.S.B. advisor, Mr. Raab, hands over some orders. At the student council meetings, these students represented their classes in solving the many problems which involved the school. STUDENT COUNCIL seated from left to right: Lori Smith, Janda O’Neil.

Other activities, such as putting on the Senior Play, decorating the school Christmas tree, participating in the A.S.B. carnival, and taking over classes for Student Government Day, reflected the true spirit of the mighty Seniors. Initiation of the Freshmen was a highlight of the year, capped by a Senior-Freshman party. Other nights to be remembered, due to Senior participation, include the Homecoming Ball, the Junior- Senior Bali and the Community Float Queen’s Coronation Ball. Scott Bond served as A.S.B.

The girls served at their last spaghetti dinner.......... . . . and they were always present at the soc hops, adding to the spirit of the dances. Being as busy as they were, the Seniors often had to spend every free moment studying. But class time was not always spent on school work. There was time for fun too.

SEVENTH GRADE The Class of 1974 started the year with a mixture of shyness and sparkle that marked their enthusiasm and yet their uncertainty at coming into the building. By organizing and taking part in activities, however, they soon got over their shyness and their special sparkle added a great deal to the school spirit. They sold tickets for the P.T.A. Play, winning the prize for selling the most, and they also won first place in the poster contest that opened the basketball season. They helped sell tickets at basketball games, put on soc hops for the Junior High, and contributed greatly to Junior High Drama, Junior High Chorus, Junior High Sports, and the High School Band. In addition, they corresponded with “Pen-Pals” in many countries of the English-speaking world, helping spread the fame of Granite Falls. Willie Burrus was President of the sparkling Seventh Grade, Ross Henson was Vice-President, and Pam Garka served as Class Secretary.

Dancers swayed to the music of the “Mother’s Oats”. The Girls’ Club sponsored the dance. 58 AS. B. Carnival Through the efforts of most of the student body, the A.S.B. Carnival, which was held in March, was a success. The student council planned the event and several classes and clubs sponsored booths.
