“Travelers” Spellbound That's it. Gaze into my eyes. Deeper. You are getting very sleepy. Your eyes are so heavy you can hardly keep them open. You are asleep and will do everything I say. Now you know what we're leading into here. These lines have to be classic among the movie or t.v. hypnotists that most people are familiar with. This year, though, the students had a chance to come in contact with a true-to-life hypnotist. Mr. Ron Hutchings, from Livonia, Mi., travelled back to GHS this year after a very successful visit two years ago to display examples of the power of hypnotic suggestion. Mr. Hutchings took volunteers from each class and performed both individual and group hypnosis on the volun- teers and also a few students who got caught up in the act from their seats in the bleachers. The show was very popular with the crowd. Hutchings sent the students on a trip to the moon, put them to work finding their bellybuttons, and introduced them to a hot seat. Said junior Ed Powers, You felt like you were under his command. Everything he said, I did. On some of the kids though, Mr. Hutchings methods didn’t work so well. As senior Brian Arntz put it, It just didn't seem to have much effect on me. By popular opinion this was the best assembly put on during school all year. Bobbi Jo Deal literally takes off her belt after returning from a trip to the moon with Dave Mai lory. Sara Drake, and Bob Young. 28 Shivering from the freezing temperature are Mary Mangus and Lyn Hallock after the heating system malfunctioned on the way to the moon.

The ¥a a©as. TTkir©i!Mk 9 os=3 Craving knowledge, desiring to excel, and longing to be the best were harder goals for us to reach as a new grading scale became an obstacle for most. We all had our visions; to be first chair, to make our project the best, or the ultimate goal, to be an all A student. But all our hard work paid off! We made it through another year of classes.
